Vicki Lawrence made two appearances in Cabot Cove — one alongside "Laugh-In‘s" Jo Anne Worley — and remembers two thing about the experiences:

Star Angela Lansbury “was a consummate professional,” and single-camera series really aren’t Lawrence’s thing. “It’s ‘Come on in, let’s show them the scene,’ they put the marks down, you go back and sit in your trailer for an hour-and-a-half while they do the lights,” she says, crossing her eyes.

“It’s just so boring to me… I hate doing it.”
