Happy Memories with This Blast from the Past
I grew up on "Murder, She Wrote." It was the thing to watch on a Sunday night, signaling the end of the week (technically, the beginning, I know, but it always felt as if the week was ending because school was the next day, the start of the week for me). Those were happy times for me, gathering around the television with my family to watch Jessica Fletcher solve yet another baffling mystery. This was simple entertainment--good stories, interesting plots, loveable recurring characters, "exotic" locales, and even (sometimes) nice clothes (as I'm into fashion, the wardrobe always resonated with me--as the series progressed and Angela's character gained more fame, Jessica became worldlier and her taste in clothes became chicer (is that a word?), and she sometimes wore some nice suits), especially in the fashion-industry settings.So, when I saw that I could get the entire series (all 12 seasons) at once for less than $90, I jumped on it. This is, for all intents and purposes, my childhood. And, when I received the package, I set to viewing right away. Swoosh! I was back in time. Right now, my mother's at a nursing facility (thanks to a stroke) and my grandmother's rehabbing at the same facility for a medical issue--but, with Jessica Fletcher on the screen, I was that little girl again with my family watching this amateur sleuthess (that would be my version of the feminine form of "sleuth") solve another crime.However, there was one slight problem. The boxes for seasons 2, 3, and 11 were broken. Inside the box, the DVDs are held together by a plastic divider. For these three boxes, the holder's rod or bracket was broken, leaving the DVD holder free to hang inside, loose and askew. There didn't appear to be any damage to the DVDs themselves, but, when you spend $90 on something, you don't want anything damaged. So, I shipped the entire set back. I'm waiting on a replacement. No big deal, really. Just thought I ought sound the "alarm" to check the interior holders--just in case.As to packaging, what you get is a sturdy box with an open front. The back of the box, if I remember correctly, is the picture shown: of Angela Lansbury in a maroon sweater, smiling, hand to cheek, with the title of the show written above. The front of the box, of course, is where the DVD jackets are housed, seasons one through twelve. One note: This set does NOT include the four made-for-TV movies Angela Lansbury made after the series was (stupidly) cancelled. You only get seasons one through twelve. The TV movies are a separate purchase and also sold via Amazon. But, as said, if you grew up on this series, this is a must-have purchase. You won't be disappointed.

Good Quality Viewing
Received my full set of all the episodes of Murder She Wrote. They arrived in great condition and the packaging was pretty strong so none of the CD 's came cracked or unviewable. I've only gone through one box and it seems all of them are in good viewing condition. I will follow up with another review when I'm finished viewing the other box. I highly recommend this item if you are a Murder She Wrote fan. The price for them was worth it.

All the Murder She Wrote shows - WOW!
Angela Lansbury remains one of my favorite actresses of all time (along with Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Audrey Hepburn, Katherine Hepburn, Shirley Temple, Elizabeth Taylor, Grace Kelly, etc.). I am a few decades younger than they were but the old classics had people who were hired for their abilities, not necessarily their looks. Murder She Wrote is on TV late at night and I still watch those shows...some I've seen several times! They are shows that do not have an 'R' rating and portray an older, mature woman who is intelligent, pleasant, helpful, and well appreciated by many.

Classic series
Bought this on PRIME DAY 2024, and it's something I have wanted for a long, long time. The show itself has been edited "for time" in its broadcast form, often editiing out crucial information for the investigations Jessica and her pals try to resolve each week. This purchase was for posterity sake, not that the show will be off TV anytime soon. Having known some of the people involved in this show over its entire run, it's still one of my favorites, and it still baffles me on some episodes I have seen.
