September 20th- TV review- Murder She Wrote

Murder She wrote was fantastic today! It was set in a big old house on an island in a thunder storm. My favourite! A Blake Carrington type had called his family together to tell them he'd changed his will and (since they were the typical greedy, ungrateful families that are always waiting for their old rich relatives to die in films and TV) play a trick on them.

Of course the lights went out- not an entirely bad thing with some of the crusty, solid boufants in the house- because of the storm (or was it something more sinister?). Blake got shot and they all argued about the will. In the morning the screaming maid (CLASSIC murder mystery body discoverer, I love it!) found another body. Jessica went looking for the Seth- substitue doctor (not in Cabot Cove today) and found Blake who wasn't really dead- it was all a trick to see which of his relatives was worthy of inheriting when he really DID die! But this test only succeeded in alienating his only faithful relative, his granddaughter. But then it turned out that it was her who did the other murder anyway. Them's the breaks......
