Murder, She Wrote • Season 1 Ratings & Reviews
TIME Magazine
Richard Zoglin
For civilized crime fighting, Angela Lansbury is delightful as a mystery writer who solves whodunits in her spare time.
Philadelphia Daily News
Stuart D. Bykofsky
Network executives always like to pretend they don't know exactly know what quality is. Murder, She Wrote is quality, even if it needs more vinegar and less honey.
New York Times
John J. O'Connor
Not taking itself very seriously, 'Murder, She Wrote' is a pleasant, almost old-fashioned entertainment, and it does not require a single screeching car chase. It deserves best wishes.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Eric Mink
Probably the best new show on the CBS schedule, Murder, She Wrote stars character actor Angela Lansbury as a modern-day Miss Marple.
Santa Cruz Sentinel
Tom Long
Murder, She Wrote is a nicely done TV series, and it will probably never be painful to sit through an episode, but, so far at least, it seems to lack any real flair about it.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Lee Winfrey
Tonight's premiere of Murder, She Wrote is worth sampling, if only to see how Lansbury makes the character of Jessica more interesting than it would be in lesser hands.
Orlando Sentinel
Noel Holston
Although it could have been wrapped up in 90 minutes without hurting the plot, and despite Lansbury's characterization getting a mite precious at times, the premiere is colorful, stylish entertainment.
New York Daily News
Kay Gardella
The star of the show, Angela Lansbury, keeps you tuned in no matter what happens to the plot. It's a joy to watch an intelligent actress go through her paces.
Newsday
Marvin Kitman
Murder, She Wrote is the first real whodunit in a long time. On the other hand, by the end of the premiere Sunday night, I didn't care who did it. I found the first episode dull, uninteresting, unmysterious and curiously uninvolving.
Newsday
Harriet Van Horne
With her lovely, mobile face and gift for comedy, Lansbury would be an asset to any drama. But this preposterous mystery tale defeats her. The two-hour premiere seems to run on forever.
Los Angeles Times
Howard Rosenberg
The best thing about the two-hour premiere of Murder, She Wrote on CBS Sunday is Angela Lansbury... The next best things are Peter S. Fischer's wry and brainy script and the production's blend of suspense and fun.

Jerry Coffey
Lansbury's Jessica Fletcher is a delightful character, maybe the most engaging offbeat crime-solver since Columbo. At last, there's something after 60 Minutes for grown-ups.
Chicago Tribune
Jon Anderson
TV's equivalent of a good read, with lots of time to ponder details, muse clues and get to know star Angela Lansbury as she blends two roles she has played before, Auntie Mame and Agatha Christie's Miss Marple.
Boston Globe
Jack Thomas
Lansbury, who can say more by tilting her head than most actresses can In a 3-hour movie. Is a perfect detective; as logical as Sherlock Holmes, as disarming as Columbo and as lovable as Julia Child.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Nick Coleman
Bears a distinct resemblance to a glacier. That is to say that it moves extremely slowly and crushes everything in its path. The only difference is that a glacier crushes things with its weight: Murder, She Wrote is crushingly boring.
Detroit Free Press
Mike Duffy
Angela Lansbury is the perfect choice to play Jessica Beatrice Fletcher.
Washington Post
Tom Shales
Murder, She Wrote is one of those shows that ought to play as well in Dubuque as it does in New York. It should have been better, but most of the new fall shows are infinitely worse.
Variety
Josef Adalian
Perhaps because producers couldn't rely on gee-whiz special effects or pounding pop music scores, there's an unrelenting focus on character development in these episodes.
CNN.com
Christopher Moloney
It's the type of slow burn that would never happen on one of today's detective shows... but Murder, She Wrote did shape and inspire the TV shows and films that came after it.
Entertainment Weekly
Melissa Rose Bernardo
Chock-full of charm.
