Title: Doesn't hold up
Review: Sorry to be a spoiler here but I don't think this series stands the test of time. I too have fond memories of it but after viewing about half of this collection I've decided to put it away. I remember enjoying Angela Lansbury very much but there always was something that seemed forced with her portrayals & after revisiting these shows I've come to the conclusion that I spend more time "wanting to like her" than actually involving myself in the plots. "Mystery," for some reason has never been a forte of Hollywood. I've a feeling it isn't the creative abilities of the writers as much as the nervousness of producers worrying about catering to a greater than 13 year old mentality that keeps plots so predictable and much of the acting and dialog so brainless.OK, I'll admit that I'm coming back to these shows after having been brainwashed by Inspector Morse and Midsommer Murders but hey, I'm sure the Murder She Wrote budget trumped both of these series.
