@@Attmay I always thought it was rather clever, in a deconstructed kind of way... I couldn't tell you the name of most episodes of shows I like because the name and the plot didn't really strongly connect (for example "Not Another Monday" being the Golden Girls episode about elderly suicide which I remember only because I just watched it the other day) But with Friends? The name was VERY specific. The Phoebe wedding episode? The One With Phoebe's Wedding. The one with Ross being whiny about getting a male nanny for his kid? The One With The Male Nanny. The names were designed in a way that they would basically let you know what the main storyline was (because many episodes would have an A B and even C and D plot) without giving enough away that people who hadn't seen it yet would be ruined by hearing the name, alone. Was it lazy? In a sense. But it was brilliant, because it allowed people to look at the episode title and, more or less, remember what the plot of the episode revolved around.
The show was in the same timeslot as Friends and even Fox’s teen dramas. The irony is that after murder she wrote was cancelled, my public tv station syndicated the series with their other mysteries with the MSW’s original timeslot.
@Attmay Friends is so overrated, people online won’t stop talking about how much they love that show and their reunions! Barely anyone in Hollywood talks about MSW, they worship Friends!
@@Markimark151 That's because they are ageist and racist, and that's why Hollywood is losing its grip on the audiences.

We're going through the seasons recently (we're on season 12). I can't believe she never got an award for that damn show. It was amazing. In almost 12 years there are very few episodes that don't hold up and aren't well done mysteries. It's awesome. Friends can't say the same, at all.
Wait Murder she wrote didn't end in the early 90's? That means I probably watched random episodes in the 90's thinking they were reruns not realising the show was still running in the US.
Can I just say that you single-handedly gave birth to my new obsession with Murder, She Wrote! Thank goodness Peacock has it or else I'd have to find & buy the DVD set. I love your channel PushingUpRoses!!!
For Murder, She Wrote episodes: - Murder Takes a Bus since Rue McClanahan is in it - Jessica Behind Bars, a personal favorite - Keep The Home Fries Burning
It's disturbingly realistic, unlike some poorly applied wound make-up you see on movies and television. You don't doubt for a second that Rikki is thoroughly dead.
roses, television has never been my forte. keeping up with old serialized shows never interested me. but your love for them and detailed videos about specific episodes is just endearing. I love these videos.
I would love to see you review the 1978 version of Death on the Nile, with Peter Ustinov as Poirot and Angela Lansbury as Salome Otterbourne--she plays a hilarious drunk version of Jessica (and Olivia Hussey from Romeo and Juliet (the 1968 version) plays her daughter)...
Yeah, later seasons of Murder She Wrote are notorious for having the murders in the middle of the episode, thus building up a lot and leaving less time for actual murderer finding, all each resulting in messy and rushed writing for the second half. Maybe if they extended these episodes longer, to say, feature length, like Columbo, it would've worked better? But I can't help but feel more charm out of these later eps because of all the 90s looks and tech 😅
From season 8 through the rest of the series' run, Angela was an Executive Producer. And there was a TV guide article about how she had a lot of control (even if she didn't even necessarily want it). You would have thought that would have made some of the later episodes some of the best ones.
I'm looking for a certain episode where Jess is teaching criminal investigation and some guy in the class says basically "I'm a cop, you're a writer. What could you possibly teach me about this?" She says "Perhaps as much as you've taught me" and then proceeds to rattle off several details about his personal life that she's deduced simply from a passing encounter with him (ex-smoker, newlywed, ate bacon and eggs that morning, etc.) Does anybody know what episode this was? It might have even been one of the movies.
It's an early "New York" episode in season eight, called "Night Fears." The plot revolves around Jessica showing up the NYPD, dealing with university politics, and dodging a creepy fan. It's one I look forward to seeing Roses' take on.
I’ll be there for you, when the bodies hit the floor I’ll be there for you, to clean up the gore I’ll be there for you, because you’ll be there for me too... to testify in my defense
The actor in the the beginning that says "No Bud..d..d, B U D." Is Hank Azaria. He's also a voice actor on The Simpsons. He voices Moe the bartender, Chief Wiggum and many other characters.
"The Szechuan Dragon" where Metzger is so incompetent as a cop, he asks Jessica (who has been in England the ENTIRE episode) who to arrest. Seriously. I also really like "Who Killed J.B. Fletcher?" because of the group of older ladies.
Yes! Oh and Grady and preg Donna house sit and Grady is honestly more worried about Donna not moving around or being atartled than the fact that his aunt's house has been broken into several timea
As a huge Murder She Wrote fan, I love your recaps. I don't know how you made one of my least favorite episodes enjoyable, but you manage it. lol. Just a bit of trivia, the ginger girl in this episode is Allison Smith, who served as the longest running Annie in Broadway's Annie. She was also in Kate & Allie and The West Wing.
It's weird to think how, comparatively, darker the first season of M,SW was (Jessica being in actual peril [like getting roughed up in alleys and thrown down stairs] and the filming style) and where it ended up near the end is so quirky. Also, the PI looks like a Property Brother to me.
I know in an interview she said she knew right away it wasn't a Thursday night show. She did admit she probably would have ended it either that season or the next anyway but she felt moving it to Thursdays was a clear sign that we're trying to murder murder she wrote. And they did.
I don't know what I liked more, your singing or the sound effects you added. Hilarious as always. Plus I agree that it's so weird to think of this show still existing at the same time as FRIENDS
It was #8 in the Nielsen ratings for season 11. So even with changing tastes, MSW was still a major hit after 11 years. CBS killed it deliberately - it hadn’t worn out its welcome at all.
@@dianamitchell7128 It was still beating THE SIMPSONS on Sundays, which was also a far, far superior show to F(R)IENDS even at its absolute nadir which is pretty bad.
Totally agree with you, Jessica takes a backseat on her own show, for me this always felt like it was cobbled together partly from (at the time) rumors and partly from spite, but huzzah for Now and Then reference!
The actor that played Timmy was in Twin Peaks and also in one of the best Columbo episodes 'Columbo goes to college' which you should definitely cover!
8:07 I was waiting for you to do a “Bedknobs and Broomsticks” reference in one of these Murder She Wrote episode reviews. Not the reference I’d pick but it’s still nice.
I would have picked a scene with Nazis getting punched. With F(r)IENDS' enablers being the Nazis and empty armor being normal people sick of their stupid, reactionary shit. Normal people don't find that show funny, just stupid, tedious, and offensive. It was just WHO'S THE BOSS of the 1990s, and that would have been the worst show of that decade had it not been for FULL HOUSE (which was mostly the 1990s). Normal people do not want to be subjected to every detail of Jennifer homewrecker Aniston's sordid degenerate lifestyle.
Bad shows deserve to be hated. And the same studio that made that crappy fucking show is the same one that deprived Angie of her birthright: the movie version of MAME.
Whenever I see Gary Hershberger in anything, I always think “Oh hey, it’s the other tall, blonde Mike Nelson that was on TV in the ‘90s!” because I’m a huge nerd for Twin Peaks and classic Mystery Science Theater 3000.
My favorite is “Reflections of the Mind” which is semi-based on Angela’s first movie role, “Gaslight” Best opening sequence for the show, next to the one for the TV movie pilot.
You should advertise these in the community tab if you're going to do a "premiere" episode(s). It would have been nice to have seen a Coming Soon! Just something I've seen other creators doing lately. Congrats on over 200k as well.
I quite enjoy them, and the chat seemed to love interacting as well! You don't have to join in, the video releases right after it premieres (so the length of my video, which is about 10 minutes.) I'm sure you have that kind of patience in ya. ;)
Speaking of Gene - they establish early on that he is one of the people on this set whom Jessica knows - he was her student. And he tries a trick with a switched script. It never ceases to amaze me how people with long histories as Jessica's friend or student think they can put something over on her.
I love the way you walk through all the tongue and cheek references to Friends. Would love it if you could do a vid on Season 5, Episode 6 "Wearing of the Green" when Jessica Fletcher meets and outsmarts NYC Detectives Chadwick and Stacey (Obviously cutie-pie, precious Murder She Wrote versions of Cagney and Lacey--Lucy Arnaz is totz over the top and adorbz with exaggerated quips like "The Tara Tiara; what kind of name is that?" & "Nobody gets in to see that lady; she's a hoymit!") this brings together two of those shows we probably used to watch with our parents and grandparents back in the day. The episode also has a pretty good storyline and some famous TV stars from the time.
This is the first one of your MSW videos where I feel like I don't need to watch the MSW episode. Yeah, you go through the whole story, but the ones up until now I would happily watch the episodes proper to experience for myself. But this one, you can feel the weakness and half-asshood through your commentary. Really disappointing episode (of MSW) but I'm always here for yours, Roses! Have a great one and thank you for this
Great Wayne's World reference. You are my honorary Bud, if that's cool. Great content as always. Ever think of covering Columbo? Recently have been addicted to the series. It's a way better who dunnit. Best to you!
I've been having a really crap couple of days mentally. That "ping" sound effect you added to the photo folder hitting the chair (at 3:47) was hilarious. Found it so amusing, I had to rewind that part about four or five times. Thank you for cheering me up a bit. ^w^
That time Murder, She Wrote went Psycho. I love the episode where Jessica gets to visit the house from Psycho. I think it’d make for a great video. Your MSW series is amazing. I love it so much 😃
Animaniacs also took a swing at "Friends" with an episode segment called "Acquaintances," also mocking the song, and in their case, Yakko, Wakko, and Dot actually invading the set of the show and heckling the cast face-to-face. I loved it. "Friends" was like "Barney the Dinosaur": it was something you loved to hate.
Watching this upload for a second time in about two month's. My late mum who past away on the 11th of June loved Jessica that she literally got me hooked on the show. Thank you for these uploads 😘😘
So funny! Interesting to hear about the time slot clashing with Friends. In the UK Murder She Wrote was broadcast on Sunday afternoons ON ITV. Or at least it was in the late 1980s. Hard to follow back then and the repeats are still hard to follow. The actor who played Timmy in this episode played one of the murderers in "Columbo Goes To College". All because of a few bad grades!
@@sabrinafrni64 I'm really sorry to have upset you by insulting the formulaic white privilege sitcom Friends. Would you like to complain to my manager?
Yaaaay!! This is the episode I requested!! I’m sure it wasn’t for me, but I’m going to pretend lol. This is just what I needed to perk up a slow work day!! Thank you!! ;-)
It’s weird to think that _Murder, She Wrote_ and _Friends_ were on at the same time.
I totally agree with this one! ☺
This was my immediate thought.
I know, I forget how friends was early 90s because its on TV everywhere all the time.
I know I never thought about it
Yep.
I'm a little disappointed they didn't title the episode "The One with Friends" or "The One She Wrote."
Zach Gamemaster *The One With Buds
"The one she wrote" would even be relevant to the plot.
The One With the Murder
Because they're not lazy hacks like the F(R)IENDS writers. My God, even the worst of FAMILY GUY isn't nearly as bad.

Just started watching Murder, She Wrote recently. As a Castle fan, this really filled the void of comedy-drama whodunnit show.
The make-up on Rikki's face, with the bruising around the eye, forehead, and temple, are very well done.

Attmay Exactly! It isn’t ALL bad.
avocados are a millennial thing
@@gregorymelissinos337 Unless you're mexican, that thing is like ketchup to us
@@gregorymelissinos337 Welcome to the joke
I've been having a really crap couple of days mentally. That "ping" sound effect you added to the photo folder hitting the chair (at 3:47) was hilarious. Found it so amusing, I had to rewind that part about four or five times. Thank you for cheering me up a bit. ^w^
Watching the reviews of these episodes is often more fun than watching the episodes themselves :)
I've started watching the whole series because of your reviews. It's literally life changing. I love MSW and your channel.
This is great and poor Angela that broke me when she said that it does matter we love you
5:35 When you start spilling your drama onto strangers or near-strangers, call a therapist
RIP Matthew Perry
Home sick from work, but I see a new PushingUpRoses video and suddenly I feel much better 😊
I like to think Rikki is Velma after her Mystery Inc. Days
And she gets murdered. What a twist.
@@willlastnameguy8329 yep did not see that coming
Mathieu Leader
“Like, Velma had her head bashed in, man!”
“Rhead rashed rin?! Roh rno!”

2:42 "...having learned nothing from Billy Joel..." 😂
Murder She Wrote taking a shot at Friends makes me love the show even more.
Yeah same for me 🥰🤩
These recaps are a trip, for sure. thanks for the videos!
I've been dying waiting on another Murder She Wrote vid.... Btw, thanks for the amazing content Roses🌹
That time Murder, She Wrote went Psycho. I love the episode where Jessica gets to visit the house from Psycho. I think it’d make for a great video. Your MSW series is amazing. I love it so much 😃
Timmy was on Twin Peaks too!
Thanks for reviewing these episodes, so nice to find other Murder she wrote fans.
There’s an episode I remember about a murdered Nun (I think) and a trap door (secret passage) in a convent.
Old Habits Die Hard, with Jane Powell and Eileen Brennan?
I love that you managed to incorporate a clip from Now & Then - it’s one of my favourite movies!!!
The coffee shop is called "Kafka's".
Thank you for this, I love your Murder She Wrote videos xx
Animaniacs also took a swing at "Friends" with an episode segment called "Acquaintances," also mocking the song, and in their case, Yakko, Wakko, and Dot actually invading the set of the show and heckling the cast face-to-face. I loved it. "Friends" was like "Barney the Dinosaur": it was something you loved to hate.
Thank you for having that small clip of Bud from Now & Then. Gosh, I love that movie.
We could all learn something from Billy Joel
And I still want to see "No Laughing Matter" the first full episode I saw
Watching this upload for a second time in about two month's. My late mum who past away on the 11th of June loved Jessica that she literally got me hooked on the show. Thank you for these uploads 😘😘
" And then we cut to patty cake, as you do."
Idk why I find this so hilarious
I recently discovered your channel while typing in MSW. I enjoy your personality so much. Thanks so much for sharing!
That time Jessica took a swing at her friends. They weren't happy about it.
Sporetrix That time Jessica was swinging with friends.
@@daerdevvyl4314 O.O
i morbidly want to watch.
So funny! Interesting to hear about the time slot clashing with Friends. In the UK Murder She Wrote was broadcast on Sunday afternoons ON ITV. Or at least it was in the late 1980s. Hard to follow back then and the repeats are still hard to follow.
The actor who played Timmy in this episode played one of the murderers in "Columbo Goes To College". All because of a few bad grades!
Anybody else get giddy when PushingUpRoses started singing ♥️
I'd like to point out that watching your Murder She Wrote videos led me to binge watch it. Thank you so much.
Having seen no full episodes of Murder, She Wrote and many full episodes of Friends, let me just say Murder, She Wrote is the better show.
Todd Crabtree: Having seen full episodes of both I agree.
Look how special I am for thinking Friends is bad in 2019! Murder She Wrote is better than Friends? Calm down ...
Millions of grandmas and their cats agree. 🐈🐈🐈🐈🧓🐈🐈🐈
@@sabrinafrni64 I'm really sorry to have upset you by insulting the formulaic white privilege sitcom Friends. Would you like to complain to my manager?
@@lhfirex yes cause Murder She Wrote isn't incredibly white
For some reason your delivery on "blah, blah, blah" cracked me up. Love these videos.
"Murder among friends"
*Investigation Discovery wants to know your location
EFFFF YASSSSS! Another upload! I’ve been binge watching your old vids while I waited. Hang tight, lemme get my snack ready. Thank you!!!!
This series made start watching Murder she wrote.
Yaaaay!! This is the episode I requested!! I’m sure it wasn’t for me, but I’m going to pretend lol. This is just what I needed to perk up a slow work day!! Thank you!! ;-)
"if she were an ice cream flavor; it would be pralines and dyyyiiick" Yup, I'm dead!
