 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).

　　NHK大河ドラマ第23作。近現代三部作第二部。
　　"近代大河"の第二弾は時代を少しさかのぼり、日本の女優第一号・川上貞奴を中心とする明治から大正にかけての群像劇だ。貞奴に関わる主要人物として登場するは、新演劇の旗手・川上音二郎、実業界に名を馳せた福沢桃介、その妻で福沢諭吉の次女・房子。彼らが織り成すドラマはそれまでの大河が描いてきた英雄伝としての歴史ではなく、文化や世相の面から時代をとらえた意欲作である。ただ、そのためか日清・日露の動乱をはさむ時代を背景にしながらも、視聴者にはいささか地味な作品と映ったようだ。後半には、名取裕子演じる松井須磨子を貞奴のライバル役としてクローズアップし、視聴率回復のてこ入れを図るも効果はなく、一時は視聴率が一ケタ台まで落ち込むという苦い記録を作る。
