Murder She Wrote-The Complete Second Season
I have only watched the first 8 episodes and they were fantastic.. I can't wait to finish the rest of the season.. I know they will be just as good as the first 8 episodes and the first season.. I am also looking forward to the complete third season..

A devoted Murder She Wrote fan but DVD quality is not good
I came here to Amazon recently intending to buy this DVD boxed set as I love Murder She Wrote and would like to be able to stop missing episodes when they are aired on television. After reading all of the comments about the poor DVD quality I decided instead to check this second season out from my local library before purchasing it. Aaargh!
My all-time favorite episode is "Keep the Home Fries Burning" and I couldn't even watch the entire show before the DVD froze up. I tried wiping the disc off several times with a flannel cloth but that did no good whatsoever. I also tried fast-forwarding past the glitch but I couldn't. Then I tried selecting the scene after the problem place but the disc froze there, too, and I could not move from the scene selection page.
Here's something strange! My son belongs to a well known DVD-by-mail rental company and he ordered one of the MSW discs for me as a surprise. It came yesterday ( the company only allows you so many DVD discs out at a time depending on your rental plan) Well, the disc they sent is one of SIX, not three as in the box set and it is not a double-sided DVD! I'm wondering if maybe Universal made these one-sided discs especially for this company. Everything else on the DVDs looks the same, only they are not two-sided.
The disc my son rented for me was from the first season and it played beautifully. I guess I'll just keep renting these discs from this company without purchasing the boxed sets. I don't understand why the one-sided discs aren't being sold in the boxed sets.
Murder She Wrote is a wonderful and delightful program and one I always enjoy watching. I hope this DVD quality problem is fixed soon as I would still love to own these sets.
Good series, awful dvd
I bought this for my mom who enjoyed the series and I found that I actually enjoyed it also. The one problem, and a big one, is that the dvds are defective. I tried playing them on three different players and the results were the same. The pixels were messed up on several of the shows and, in two cases, stopped playing altogether. A couple of the shows could not be watched to the end because they would start and stop and then eventually stop completely. Returning the item is too much of a headache so we decided to let it go. I also purchased seasons 1 and 3 for her and have no such problems. One I believe I purchased through Amazon and the other elsewhere. We just decided we will be purchasing no more boxed sets in this series.

There are two audiences for this DVD compilation of the first season of the enormously popular TV series Murder, She Wrote. The first enjoys the classic pleasures of the pre-forensics "whodunit," stories in which murder was not so much a crime as a logic puzzle; the joy here lay in how skillfully a writer could misdirect you. Murder, She Wrote--in which mystery writer Jessica Fletcher constantly stumbles across dead bodies in every setting imaginable, from a San Francisco drag show to a football field--doesn't have the elegance of an Agatha Christie or Rex Stout mystery, but the show was efficient at laying out its clues and cunningly used the audience's familiarity with television itself (the relative star power of the guests, the need for a dramatic high point before every...

The baffling crimes and mysteries continue with season four of "Murder, She Wrote". Angela Lansbury returns for a fourth season as famed mystery novelist and crime solver Jessica Fletcher, as she continues to find out "whodunit" when murders keep popping up around her. Just like with seasons one, two, and three, season four is a winner again. Intriguing mysteries, plus a delightful sense of humor, add up to another terrific season. And let's not forget about another great acting job by Lansbury in each episode. Jessica Fletcher was a role tailor-made just for her.
As usual, many well-known actors from the big screen to the small screen turn up in guest spots on "Murder, She Wrote". They include: Eileen Brennan ("Private Benjamin"), Nancy Dussault ("Too Close for Comfort"),... More Info about this DVD DVD Release Date: Released the 17 October 2006 Usually ships in 24 hours

Created by Sidney Sheldon (I Dream of Jeannie), Hart to Hart was a Thin Man for the 1980s. Self-made millionaire Jonathan (Robert Wagner, It Takes a Thief) and part-time journalist Jennifer Hart (Stefanie Powers, The Girl from U.N.C.L.E.) even had their own Asta-like pooch, Freeway. Unlike Nick and Nora Charles, however, children weren't part of their globe trotting, crime solving plan. Fortunately, they had trusty butler/Bentley driver Max (Golden Globe winner Lionel Stander) to keep them company.
Mr. And Mrs. H., as Max referred to them, were introduced by 1979's two-part pilot ("Hart to Hart"), which features Roddy McDowall and Stella Stevens as devious doctors and Wagner's future wife, Jill St. John (Diamonds are Forever), as a wealthy...

For Steele's sophomore year, Murphy and Bernice are out and Mildred Krebs (Emmy-magnet Doris Roberts) is in. She gets pulled into the orbit of private investigators Laura Holt (Stephanie Zimbalist) and Remington Steele (Pierce Brosnan) when she audits their agency in the two-part season opener ("Steele Away With Me"). Krebs follows the duo to Acapulco, where she helps with a case, and ends up abandoning the IRS for the more glamorous world of detective work. Other changes include a revamped title sequence and a new loft for Holt when a failed assassination attempt results in the destruction of her home ("Red Holt Steele").
While Krebs represents a welcome addition, wily quick change artist Major Descoine (Guy Boyd), who is introduced a few episodes later ("Steele Framed"), is... More Info about this DVD Actor(s): Stephanie Zimbalist DVD Release Date: Released the 08 November 2005 Usually ships in 24 hours
