Five Guest Star-Packed Episodes of “Murder, She Wrote” You Need to Watch
If you love classic TV like I do, you are probably familiar with Murder, She Wrote (MSW). It starred Dame Angela Lansbury as a mystery writing and mystery solving former school teacher. Alongside many recurring characters, her character of Jessica (J.B.) Fletcher never failed to come to the rescue when local police in the fictional town of Cabot Cove or other locales she visited couldn’t.
The regulars on this show were amazing, but so were the guest stars. It seems like every episode was full of them, but some were fuller than others. The early seasons in particular had some episodes that were practically brimming over with guest stars. Some were already famous at the time. Others have become more famous since. Here are five Murder, She Wrote episodes packed with amazing guest stars, from classic sitcom stars to two different Batmen, and more.
Special Note: These episodes are sometimes listed out of order on streaming apps. I have no idea why. Any episode numbers I list below are based on the DVD set, which also appear to line up with the numbers listed by the popular TV and movie website IMDB. If you go on a streaming app to look for a certain episode and don’t see it under the right number, check the three or four episodes around it on the list. It’s usually not far off.
