心灵之地第二季

 As Murder, She Wrote saunters through its sixth (of an eventual 12) season, star Angela Lansbury maintains her eternally buoyant and inquisitive air as Jessica Fletcher, professional writer and amateur sleuth. Though Jessica continued to investigate murders in her home town of Cabot Cove and elsewhere (in the worlds of high finance, opera, and voodoo, among other settings), this season began the practice of guest detective episodes, introduced by Jessica as either a story she wrote or a tale told by a friend, but starring a variety of quirky investigators: An ex-football player (Ken Howard, The White Shadow) paired with a clever poodle; a television crime-show producer who solved crime in real life (Diana Canova, Soap); a stout Irish detective (longtime character actor Pat Hingle); an abrasive homicide cop (Barry Newman, Vanishing Point); as well as recurring Murder, She Wrote characters like former jewel thief Dennis Stanton (Keith Michell) and British secret agent Michael Haggerty (Len Cariou). The producers were obviously hoping to use Murder, She Wrote's popularity to spin-off new series, but nothing from this season took off and viewer resistance soon brought the practice to an end. Executives must have been surprised to discover that, though murder mysteries are plot-driven, this show's success depends heavily on the undeniable charm of star Lansbury. Still, these one-off episodes are of a consistent quality with Lansbury's, and viewers open to variety will enjoy them just as much. The rest of the season features the usual astonishing array of guests, including movie stars old (Donald O'Connor, Singin' in the Rain) and recent (Elliott Gould, The Long Goodbye), television stalwarts (Shirley Jones, The Partridge Family; Jerry Stiller, The King of Queens; Doris Roberts, Everyone Loves Raymond; Kevin Tighe, Battlestar Galactica; and Gavin McLeod, The Love Boat), and D-list celebrities to die for (Dack Rambo, Morgan Brittany, Susan Anton, and more).

　　二十世纪四十年代中叶，中国历史上曾经有过一个极其短暂的特殊瞬间。 抗日战争胜利后，中国共产党和国民党在战争期间结成的抗日民族统一战线已不复存在。在美国的支持下，国民党军队大举进攻解放区，中国共产党领导下的军队和人民，坚决进行反对国民党军事进攻的自卫作战…… 面对中国全面内战即将爆发的严重局势，美国总统杜鲁门调整对华政策，派已经退休的前陆军参谋长马歇尔五星上将为总统特使，来华进行军事调停，成立了军事三人小组及其领导下的军事调处执行部。一时间，佩带蓝色三环标志的国，共，美三方人员活跃在各地，制止军事冲突，建立了和平民主。电视剧《蓝色三环》，反映了这一时期错综复杂的军事，政治和外交诸方面的尖锐斗争。

　　临近新年，海舟市老牌商场罗百百货突然发生沉降事故，致使13人被困地下。这场时间与生命的赛跑，带来的是人性、道德与信仰的重重考验…….

　　在失物招领处工作的巡查部长天树悠（东山纪之 饰）根本没有前往现场的机会，绝大多数时候都跟各种遗失物品打交道，偶尔接待一下前来参观的小学生还要被烦的不行。不过这并不代表他是个没有什么能力且无足轻重的小警察，他对细节的敏锐观察力和推断能力证明他那休眠许久的警魂仍未老去。某天，在协助临场警察解决了一起家庭主妇自杀案后，他被担任警视厅搜查一课12系系长的片冈正敏（吉田钢太郎 饰）召到自己麾下。虽然贵为搜查一课，但是12系仿佛一个不受人待见的边缘所在，有能力和抱负的刑警先后离开，如今这里仅有沙村康介（高岛政宏 饰）、山下巧（片冈爱之助 饰）、永泽圭太（铃木浩介 饰）、水田环（仓科加奈 饰）等个性十足又没什么干劲的刑警。
　　天树的到来，似乎终于改变了12系尴尬的局面……
