20- Can Molly Interest You In...Murder She Wrote?

September’s here, which means it’s time to get cozy! Break out your classiest brooch and join us as Molly Cohn interests us in the ‘80s/‘90s tv show, Murder She Wrote. We talk about the enduring appeal of the show that put cozy murder on the map, and, of course, its writer/detective heroine, Jessica Fletcher, aka JB Fletcher, aka Angela Lansbury, aka BABE.We learn about:The high fashion and campiness of MSW.JB’s embrace of technology (more than just typewriters!).Angela Lansbury as backdoor humanitarian. Her storied film career. Her diet book. Her photo shoot in a tub. What? Yes, you read that right.JB Fletcher’s one million nieces and nephews.All the silly men she encounters.MSW bingo parties.Comfort, grandmas, Space Dad.That there exists an action doll of JB Fletcher and it is en route to Molly’s house.How Jessica lives in her values, maintains boundaries, and speaks the truth, all while circumnavigating gender roles.Why she should be taller than all men!The murder rate of Cabot Cove, Maine, and why Jessica is always putting herself in danger.And finally, the excellent homework: The Murder She Wrote Drinking Game!
