How come Jessica Fletcher never got whacked?

unclejunior

Does it not suprise you that jessica fletcher never ended up on top of a mafia hit list? Look at all the people she helped put behind bars. Realistically, somebody should of taken her out along time ago so we wouldnt have to watch re runs of this sh.it on rte.

FetchTheGin

It's the delightful theme tune.

FatherLen

yeah i hate that bitch

pow wow

Maybe she did but with her gone there was no-one to write about it. You'll note from the programme title she's pretty fundamental to the documenting of such crimes.

She was probably some kind of Keyser Soze character, evil looking b1tch

Slip me an envelope with €50,000 and I'll see what I can do !!:rolleyes:

jester77

Hey, take that back :mad:

Growing up in the 80's with only 2 channels on TV (one of which was closed for half the day), I can tell you, she was as good as it got (after Teresa Lowe & Biddy of course)

Dozen Wicked Words

Wings Hauser fired a couple of shots at her, though sadly missed. If she died, Dr. Mark Sloan would step into her shoes anyway. The crimes would still get solved, maybe less prolific with the popular crime fighting fiction.

How come murder followed her everywhere she went and no one ever suspected her of being the killer?

Saila

she was the hitman, everywhere she went someone was murdered :eek:

a carbomb similar to the end scene in casino would be great

Logical Fallacy

If the zombie craze was big back then they could have done an episode where she solves her own murder.

It was pretty accurate though. Nosy old bitches always seem to know everything happening in a town

I have had this discussion on many occassion. I believe the reason she never got wacked was because she was secretly a mass murderer who manipulated other people into committing horrible acts on her behalf.

Alls I know is if she ever turned up anywhere I was or was due to be I would hightail it outa there.

She was definitely a suspect in one episode I saw But there were loads!

I remember one I saw (I used to watch them during summer holidays:o) where she went away on holidays, someone was killed back home in Cabet Cove and like the niece or someone was in contact with her, and she solved the case... FROM OVERSEES! :eek: Some woman, I'll tell ye that:)!

And father Dowling too.

I've heard that she has a house down in Cork, and that the set of Cabot Cove is now used as the setting for the Jaws attraction in Universal Studios.

Also, she seems to put a lot of trust in the fact that killers confess their crimes before offing her. The amount of times she's had Amos, or some other local sheriff, hide next door and hear the confession gives strength to her bravado and the trust she places in the human need to share our darkest secrets. Jessica Fletcher had balls of steel, and, I imagine, worked as a stern head-mistress in a former life, teaching such young bucks such as Stephen Segal and Chuck Norris how to forge an iron discipline and apply it to all facets of life.

because the police (from any town, anywhere) are always hiding behind the curtain or just outside the door

Archeron

I'll sit back and wait for Ruu to post the pictures of her in her younger hotter days.

All is forgiven Ms Fletcher, you can whack me anyday.

JONJO THE MISER

Now now leave Jessica alone, what else are us unemployed meant to watch in the afternoon.

Ben Moore

I blame the casting director in this movie for all your Jessica Fletcher woes.

The police in a town not too far from mine hid behind a curtain... in the pub when he was drinking pints on duty!

Columbo would have put her behind bars in no time.

My house mate and his girlfriend watch this all the time. They even make sure to record episodes in case they miss it. And they're not taking the piss, they actually really enjoy it.

I'll hear the theme tune and then he'll shout up the stairs 'COME DOWN! MURDER SHE WROTE IS ON! as if it was some sort of event not to be missed.

They're only about 24 or 25. I can't figure it out at all!

Definitely wouldn't invite her to a party. The Dunnes Store party selections wouldn't be out of the oven when there'd be someone in a heap in the middle of the dining room and she would be standing there googly eyed and then come out with the classic accusation "Well I didn't see you about Plazaman, that's strange".

"Fúck off Fletcher, I was keeping an eye on the onion bhajis".

I may or may not have had previous Murder She Wrote nightmares.

Another Killing in Cork" May 7, 1995

"Nan's Ghost: Part 1" November 2, 1995

My girlfriend is obsessed with it aswell. She's only 25 too. Wants to drive down to her gaff in Ballycotton and rock up to the front door to see if she'll invite her in!

Good old Jessica..

to be fair, the show kept **** actors in work for YEARS!

As she was in the Sound Of Music, she was blessed by the nuns in the convent.
Subsequently she is protected by the Rome Mafia! NO ONE bumps off any of the Rome Mafia and their friends! :pac:

she is a walking death trap

i watch the episodes as well , (although i don't let on to people that i do ) any of the episodes in ireland have actors with really dodgy accents as well. i remember one episode of MSW where magnum was in it, like others its amazing how she can remember even the most minute detail that seems key to solving the crime. i have alibi (tv channel) and msw is on all day nearly

The Irish ones were brilliant!


Jessica: It's great to be back in Killarney, Shamus. Is Nellie around?

Shamus: I just left her 25 minutes ago. She's in Donegal. But we're meeting for lunch in a while in Waterford, if you want to join us?

Jessica: Begorrah, I will!!

Dangerous Man

Yup, death followed her around like a putrid stench. Murder she Wrote? Murder she commited, more like. Repeatedly.

She's a genocidal maniac who writes books and likes potted plants.

DermotOH

Nostalgiad hard

Duggy747

Jessica was the killer all along in every one of the murders.

She'd then twist the story that somebody else did it so she could sell her books which funded her worldwide lust for murder. The episodes we saw were just enactment of her stories with characters switched around so she couldn't be held accountable.

She was smart enough to become good friends with those who were cops so as to keep suspicion down.

Truly one of the most elusive serial killers of the 20th century who was always one step ahead of the authorities. Who would ever suspect a dear ol' woman who just writes stories..............muuuuuurder stories!

You could say she....

*PUTS ON SUNGLASSES*

......made a killing selling books.

YYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Apparently many years ago in West Cork a body had washed up onto a small beach which the people walking their dogs, joggers etc saw and rang the authorities.

It took no time at all for the locals to gather round and being nosey. As some might know Angela Lansbury is very fond of West Cork, stays there a lot and this particular morning she came down to the beach to see what was going on.

The guy who was telling this tale on the radio said that Angela barged into the middle of the crowd asking people did they know who the corpse was and were the guards on the way.

The guy said that some of the locals were in absolute fits of laughter at having none other than Jessica Fletcher on the case!!!


Urban legend or truth, you decide but the guy on the radio seemed to be telling the truth!! This must be going back ten years since I heard it on the wireless!

jessica never seemed to have a bf as such in any of the episodes, just that she was friends with everyone. you'd have though they would have created a love insterest for her considering they mention that her husband died some years ago when the first few episodes started

TheBunk1

She definitely killed someone at some stage. Schnake!

The thing that annoyed me was that stupid f**king still image at the end of her smiling or laughing at some retarded comment someone has just made.

I couldn't bear that utter shyte.

Am I right in remembering an episode, possibly something to do with Louisiana, one where the person who dies is tripping of their balls driving down the road, and sees a ghostly head thing? And crashes?

And then later on in the episode, the Bold Jessica is driving down the same road, sees the same ghostly head, and crashes herself?
