Murder, She Wrote: The Complete First Season (1984) - DVD Review

Posted on 04.02.05 by Widge @ 11:37 pm

Film:
DVD:

Created by Peter S. Fischer, Richard Levinson, William Link
Starring Angela Lansbury, Tom Bosley, Michael Horton

Features:

All twenty-one first season episodes plus the pilot movie

Released by: Universal.
Rating: NR
Region: 1
Anamorphic: N/A; appears in its original 1.33:1 format.

My Advice: Fans should consider it.

I won't go so far as to say that Jessica Fletcher (Lansbury) was a reluctant author, but she liked a simple life and wouldn't even have gotten published without a manuscript of hers getting turned in without her knowledge. At a costume party after her big introduction into the world of publishing, a guy dressed up as Sherlock Holmes winds up taking the celestial dirt nap. It's up to Jessica to figure out whodunit. And then she keeps on figuring out whodunit for over a decade.

Gilligan's Island: The Complete Second Season DVD Review

Posted on 03.29.05 by Widge @ 10:34 pm

Complete Second Season.

"Just sit right back...yes from just those four words you know what show we're talking about. Seven castaways marooned on a desert island with seemingly unlimited supplies of "primitive" supplies and outfits--exactly how many of the latter would you bring on a three-hour tour? Apparently quite a few."
