Murder, She Wrote (1984–1996)
9/10
the best chicken soup

I acknowledge that I love Angela Lansbury. If you think of her only as the lovely and charming Jessica Fletcher of "Murder She Wrote", then I implore you to see the original "The Manchurian Candidate".

This series has the same level of care and attention to detail that went into all-time great shows such as "Breaking Bad" and "The Andy Griffith Show". It rarely disappoints. The guest roster is amazing. I discovered that fact when I was struck by the performance of an attractive older woman whom I later discovered to be the legendary Jean Simmons. But she is only one of a rainbow of actors from every corner of Hollywood.

I apologize for the lack of specifics in this commentary; but I felt I needed to put in writing my admiration for a show that has given me so much pleasure and comfort, especially in its civility, in recent years.
