MURDER SHE WROTE SEASON 6

s06e01 - Appointment in Athens
I'm just not a big fan of spy stories. Athens looks gorgeous, though. [MEH]

s06e02 - Seal of the Confessional
Pretty good and compelling story. I loved the wheelchair clue and that we get to see so much of the beach. [GREAT]

s06e03 - The Grand Old Lady
Skipped. "Bookend episode".

s06e04 - The Error of Her Ways
Cool and interesting storytelling, stands out through the weird beginning of Jessica solving a murder right away. [GOOD]

s06e05 - Jack and Bill
Skipped, cause it's another bookend episode. Murder She Wrote without Angela Lansbury, what were they thinking?

s06e06 - Dead Letter
I found the comedy to be a bit too goofy in this one, but otherwise a good story. No idea what the point of that insurance lady was. [DECENT]

s06e07 - Night of the Tarantula
A bit of an oddity that I quite like (the zombie ending is just fantastic, in a silly kind of way). The quite obvious racism of the victim is a bit stunning, one feels relieved when he's done in. [GOOD]

s06e08 - When the Fat Lady Sings
Quite a good story (as usual I had no idea who did it), but I didn't really "feel" the opera in this one, and didn't really care for the characters that much. [DECENT]

s06e09 - Test of Wills
Adore this one. The whole setting with the remote island, everyone staying in the house and the thunderstorm, that is great stuff. Maybe the murder resolution is not top-notch, but the episode as a whole is just super fun. [WORLD CLASS]

s06e10 - Class Act
Skipped, bookend episode. 

s06e11 - Town Father
God, I love the Beauty Parlor episodes. This one does the comedy reasonably well, much better than "Dead Letter" earlier this season. The mystery falls a bit short even, as we are so focused on the Cabot Covers and their interaction. [GOOD]

s06e12 - Good-Bye Charlie
Bookend episode which I have not seen, but even just reading the tagline sounds painful.

s06e13 - If the Shoe Fits
Nice little episode with a bit of overacting along the way. More than the mystery itself it made me think about people that work hard but still struggle to make a living with their salary. What a world we live in. [GOOD]

s06e14 - How to Make a Killing Without Really Trying
I like it more than I thought I would, as that "80s stock broker" world is a bit tiresome usually. But here, Brenda makes a good character (I hate her macho boyfriend though). She knows her stuff. HDTV did become big, just like she predicted. [GOOD]

s06e15 - The Fixer-Upper
Chad Everett's hair. Having said that, good episode, but not outstanding in any way. Howard and Victoria are a tad annoying, apart from that the cast is great though. And Chad Everett's hair. [GOOD]

s06e16 - The Big Show of 1956
I really like this one, mostly for the acting - Connie Stevens reigns in this episode and makes for a very intense ending. [GREAT]

s06e17 - Murder: According to Maggie
Skipped, bookend episode.

s06e18 - O'Malley's Luck
Skipped, bookend episode. (Sounds dreadful though)

s06e19 - Always a Thief
I find Stanton less insufferable than other characters trusted to carry an episode, but nowhere near enough to actually watch it - skipped, bookend episode.

s06e20 - Shear Madness
Robert Walker Jr is positively spooky in this interesting "dark-turned-light" episode, where the first murder solution is more interesting than the second (Rosemary Taylor was just too suspicious from the get-go). [GOOD]

s06e21 - The Szechuan Dragon
In the end I skipped this one. An episode of full Grady and Donna and Jessica just phoning in some lines - eh, no.

e06e22 - The Sicilian Encounter
Skipped - Bookend.
