Has Murder, She Wrote as a show aged terribly
The show usually has Jessica Fletcher visit a family wedding, invited to an event due to her success as a writer etc, and someone gets killed. The police usually arrest the wrong person and is usually Jessica's relative or close friend.
She manages to weasel her way to help the detective (and a phone from the police commissioner or congressman) solves the case.
Jessica however, can’t seem to accept that the police have arrested the wrong person, even though the evidence suggests that they might have, after all, they have to follow up all evidence. She also reads files, questions suspects, and convinces police to follow her lead.
She basically orders the police to simple police procedures. And, no matter where she goes, someone dies.
