 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).

　　The mini-series follows the history of the Roman Empire, from approximately the death of Marcellus (24/23 BC) to Claudius' own death in 54 AD. As Claudius narrates his life, we witness Augustus' attempts to find an heir, often foiled by his wife Livia who wants her son Tiberius to become emperor. We also see the conspiracy of Sejanus, the infamous reign of Caligula, and Claudius' own troubled period of rule.

 Golden Globe® winner Angela Lansbury returns as mystery writer Jessica Fletcher, and with more 'Cabot Cove Syndrome' happening, more people are turning up dead wherever she ventures. Jessica (Lansbury) is the only one clever enough to read between the lines and see the clues nobody else knew were there. Along for the chase are amazing guest stars like Harvey Fierstein (Independence Day), Jon Polito (Miller's Crossing), David Soul (Starsky & Hutch), Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother), plus many others.

　　智慧、勇敢与正义化身的侦探角色总是能受到观众的喜欢，丧妻的退休探长乔治·詹特利（George Gently）就是极具个性和强烈正义感的好男人，人们一提到他的名字就提心吊胆，因为他拥有能够制服伦敦臭名昭著的黑帮的铁腕手段。他和他的搭档约翰·巴克斯（John Bacchcus）一次次深入险境，解开了各种案件的层层谜团。
　　这部BBC出品的传统英伦侦探剧改编自作家艾伦·亨特的《乔治侦探》系列，在上个世纪60年代的英国上演了一幕幕老少搭档侦破案件的精彩故事。《乔治·詹特利探案》在澳大利亚、挪威、德国、比利时、荷兰、加拿大、印度、日本、法国、爱沙尼亚等多个国家播出，取得了不俗的收视成绩。
　　扮演乔治的马丁·肖是英国最受欢迎的演员之一，在他的表演生涯中，成功诠释了一百多个电视剧角色。同时，马丁·肖在戏剧舞台上更加活跃，凭借百老汇经典剧目《理想的丈夫》中的戈林勋爵这一角色，他赢得了托尼奖提名和纽约喜剧委员会奖最佳演员。而乔治的年轻搭档约翰的扮演者李·恩格里比，观众对他应该并不陌生，他就是哈利波特电影第三部《哈利波特和阿兹卡班的囚徒》中骑士公交车的车长——史坦·桑派。
　　两位不同风格的主演将经典的英伦侦探剧模式中个性十足的侦探乔治和不太情愿跟在他身后的年轻警察演绎的淋漓尽致，剧中两人配合默契，不乏幽默互动，面对扑朔迷离案件，一点点抽丝剥茧，最后查明真凶，是侦探剧迷们不可错过的佳作。
