The show lasted up to twelve seasons and 265 episodes not to mention four TV movies. And still loved by so many people.
Angela Lansbury was only the fourth choice in the protagonist role of Jessica Fletcher a novelist and widow. With Jean Stapleton of All in the Family, the front runner.
Jessica lived in Cabot Cove Maine. And murder would find her rather than the other way around. Later she would move to NY to follow her publisher to greener pastures.
She would be a amateur sleuth who would solve the clues and crime. Way before the police though it is not realistic but still, very entertaining of the show.
Like Stapleton but the show would not be as much of a hit without Lansbury's dry wit and smartness!
