Any day that has Angela Lansbury in it is immediately a better day 😊

I’m excited to enter this contest! I’m Reda Rountree and live in Los Angeles and am completely obsessed with murder mysteries. I discovered Murder, She Wrote when I was young and it was still airing here in the States on CBS. I’d watch it on Sunday nights with my family and it was the highlight of our week!

Btw, Jenny, I’ve been dying to tell you I discovered a brand new Vincent Price Museum here in L.A.!! I was so surprised to see it and discovered it completely by accident. It’s still under construction, but as soon as it opens I will visit and report back to you! (Kinda like the MSW restaurant, which was a real disappointment). But I have high hopes for this VP tribute!

REDA! A big fan of Only Murders In The Inbox here! I love that you watched Murder, She Wrote with your family on Sunday nights. How cosy is that?!

I had NOT heard about the Vincent Price Museum. Fascinating. This feels to me like the perfect excuse for a trip Stateside! Jx

An Angela Lansbury workout? What more could one ask for?

It is a life affirming hour in the company of the divine Angela. Easy, gentle stretching and some expressive dancing at the end (my favourite bit). Do join me! Jx

I’m Sam from Georgia. I started watching Murder, She Wrote as a little one, as my Gram loved the show. We would watch it together at her house or her quilt shop in the workroom while making quilts. My husband and I bought the whole series on DVD a few years ago to watch after our daughter goes to bed.

Oh Sam, I absolutely LOVE the idea of you and your Gram watching the show together in her quilt shop. That is a divine image and I'm going to think about that all day today! How far are you into the whole series? Jx

This go round we are somewhere in season 8. We have already watched the whole thing once through. I also have the show’s theme song as my ringtone and a typewriter as my text tone.

Brilliant! I cannot believe I have never thought of having the theme song as my ring tone! I am going to do that RIGHT NOW 🤣

I'm Amie from Colorado. I've been interested in mysteries since second grade when I started reading Encyclopedia Brown stories. My Mom started watching Murder, She Wrote when I was a teenager. And my husband bought me every episode and movie of the show on DVD a few years ago because I loved it so much.

I've been a fan of Angela Lansbury for years and sent a Bednobs and Broomsticks comic book to her a while back to sign for me. Which she graciously did. What a grand lady she was.

Oh Amie! How wonderful that Angela signed your comic book, I love that! In all the reading and research I have done, I have never heard a bad word said about Angela. She truly was a grand lady. I haven't heard of the Encyclopaedia Brown stories so I will look those up! Jx

I’m Mary-K (or MK) from Colorado. I’m not sure when I first watched MSW, as I don’t think any of my family watched, but I was aware of it as a child. I got into it by randomly reading one of the books a few years ago and then watching it on the Hallmark channel. I’ve always loved Angela Lansbury, from Bedknobs & Broomsticks to Beauty and the Beast to a random Christmas VHS we had with her voicing a character (I think). Now I watch either MSW or YouTube videos about the show every night!

Hi Mary-K - wowee you are a true fan if you are watching something Murder, She Wrote related every night - I salute you! Interesting that you came via one of the books and then to the TV show. I saw Angela in Death on the Nile for the first time ever this week. What an amazing performance. She was making me laugh SO MUCH! Thanks for taking time to drop me a line - Jenny x
