In similar terms, this is why I prefer original CSI (with Grissom) to Miami, NY or the new CSI when Gil has left...<br /><br />That said, Diagnosis Murder... blurgh...<br /><br />Getting back to this, it was season 10 - aired in the US on the date shown in the article, which should narrow it down for you.<br /><br />Stop by later today, I have something fun going on...Taliesin_ttlghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10105263634442191232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23449634.post-25924100081622008052009-12-30T13:30:41.814-08:002009-12-30T13:30:41.814-08:00I had to stop by the blog today because I never, e...I had to stop by the blog today because I never, ever thought I'd see a review of Murder She Wrote on here! Wow, I was a regular Murder She Wrote watcher back in the day, and I missed this episode. I'll have to look at the date on this one, as the later eps tended to 'jump the shark' in terms of plots.<br /><br />Murder She Wrote started off as a cozy mystery, and I think that was largely its appeal. Kinda like Rosemary and Thyme but without Rosemary ;)<br /><br />Thanks for the review, Taliesin (it really is true that one learns something new everyday) and have a Happy New Year!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
