Movie Reviews of Murder, She Wrote - The Complete Eighth Season
Movie Review: Another wonderful year
Summary: 5 Stars
Well, here we are again. America's most popular crime series returns in its eighth season. Jessica is no longer the "Down Maine" girl we have grown to love. She has moved from her cozy life in Cabot Cove, Maine, to the hustle-bustle of New York City to teach criminology.
For subsequent seasons, the show's "new look" divided its viewers with an adjustment of premise alternations. The switch to Manhattan permitted Jessica to expand her range of acquaintances and habitats. This irked some viewers. Fans of the show thought the series had changed its course and was becoming too--how shall I say this?--expansive? Jessica was leaving her comfort zone in Cabot Cove, and for some TV watchers, the change was disastrous. Like many people today, they did not like change; the idea of Jessica moving part-time to Manhattan and leaving her circle of friends back home, was a mystery in itself. On occasion, however, Dr. Seth Hazlitt and Eve Simpson would make apperances with Jessica in New York.
Ms. Lanbsury, however, wanted change. She was tired of the quaint life in Cabot Cove; she wanted to expand her horizions and take Jessica back into the classroom as a teacher. Personally, the shift added a freshness to the show--and it gave Jessica other dimensions and facets to her personality that were missing in previous seasons. After Jessica's sporadic absences in seasons six and seven, Ms. Lansbury had to steer the show in another direction. She became executive producer. This allowed her to take charge of the show. She hired female writers, and gave Jessica a makeover as "businesswoman." Out with the hand-me-downs of sweaters and jeans. A new Jessica Fletcher would be announced!
For all you Cabot Cove lovers out there, this season offers Jessica a reprieve from the hectic city life. She would make an appearance in her hometown on the weekends. Whatever qualm you have about the show during its eighth run, don't allow those prejudices to alter your love of a once-in-a-lifetime television franchise.
