That Time Murder, She Wrote Gave Us Naughty Captain Janeway 

Aren't stewardesses trained to keep their heads better than that?

@@alicewilloughby4318 Considering she precipitately asked to be on this plane to be close to her lover and may or may not (not sure when this is in the narrative) have learned that said lover is seeing at least another stewardess, she might already be on edge...

They also told everyone to fasten seat belts right before that scream. Literally nobody unfastened a seat belt, they all just jumped up.

if only Fletcher was onboard that plane in Stephen King's langoliers

Angela Lansbury opposite Dean Stockwell. Wow, that'd be something to see.

you still can.

@@ActuallyHoudini but probably not the knitting needles.

Between all the craziness, drug trips, and general criminality of "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," perhaps the craziest thing in the entire movie is when Hunter S. Thompson drives onto the tarmac of the Las Vegas airport to let his lawyer, a Cuban national, get directly in line and onto the departing plane. And no one bats an eye or even questions him.

A dog? There was a man with bag of cocaine on board 😂 Last time a had a flight, they checked my friend for drugs just because she forgot to take her watch off and kept going through the metal detector 😂

@@NatBKyiv I worked at the airport- TSA is a product of 9/11 and is quite terrible at catching people at the checkpoint.

I don't get it, you said it was silly.

Isawa De La Pradera - Aren’t “Silly” and “Amazing” really just two sides of the same coin?

DELETE THE WIFE

Apparently Kate Mulgrew is in couple of other episodes as well, so maybe Janeway has a few Murder, she wrote themed holodeck programs.

@@aliceinwonderland8314 Tom Paris has Captain Proton, Janeway has Murder, She Wrote,

LOL

oh yes :)

Well let's face it, it's hard to believe her as a normal person. She has to be an actress, an overbearing captain with a Napoleon complex, queen of the fairies, queen of the robots, or a conniving cat.

@@KairuHakubi ...please tell me that Conniving Cat is an actual example I can go hunt down somewhere

I have seen this one and the one where she is the soap opera actress. What was the third one?

​@@darkelf63 I think she was an office assistant or something like that in "The Dying Game." (1994)

Wasn't the soap opera actress one where she pretends to dislike her costar, but actually is in cahoots with him to kill her husband with a make-shift gun trigger in her side of the closet?

The Dom

Why do you keep showing up every where I go

You also have a smooth British accent.

I love seeing youtubers commenting on eachovers videos

I have never watched the show but second this motion.

This is the most thumbs-up I've ever gotten on any comment on youtube. Think that proves it's a turn-on, PUR.

Me too❤️👍🏼

Murder board, murder board!

Confirmed. With 12 seasons at over 20 eps apiece, Roses will have content for years.

That one is soo funny!!! When she's on stage singing about that little bird is adorable

That sounds amazing tbh

Oh my goodness yes!!!

Hyoyeonbae yessssss! I hope she covers that episode!!

Yeees!

Same. Same.

We could always go for the dating Catwoman angle.

Arrowdodger Eh, Jessica is not short of gentleman lovers in this show. Jerry Orbach pops up every once in a while as a PI with a gambling problem & a penchant for getting in over his head. Len Cariou plays a British secret agent who seems to show up just to hijack Jessica for one of his international cases. And then there’s the art thief turned insurance inspector who gets a few of his own episodes.

ztslovebird not lovers, merely suitors. Jess don’t give it up that easily.

@BreeinMaryland Jesseth or Sethica?

The Law and Harry McGraw was a regular spin off. The bookend episodes weren't introduced until season 6 when Angela Lansbury demanded a lighter workload for her to continue with the series.

@@lissiz3432 Really? Because I'm slowly going through the series and I found a bookend episode in season 3, episode 14 "Murder in a Minor Key.

Omnicrom yeah that was the 1 exception, again to grant Angela Lansbury time off that week. The next bookend episodes are not until season 6.

I think one had Bill Maher in it.

This would explain what the heck the episode Jack and Bill was that I watched the other day.

Neat! :=)

That is both a fun fact, and you saved me a trip to IMDB, I caught a brief glimpse of him examining the necklace and was like "haaaaannnnnngggg on....."

His name was James SHIGETA, NOT SIGETA. He also starred in Rodgers & Hammerstein's FLOWER DRUM SONG.

@@elaineteeter9485 typo. My bad. He was also in: The Crimson Kimono (which got him a Golden Globe), Walk Like a Dragon, Bridge to the Sun, and Midway... And several other movies shows and productions.

I think it might be "Nobody tosses me aside" - but you're right - the play on "nobody" makes for a great line - almost like a country song hook.

"Close shave" is a pun actually in the episode.

I agree, I always think of this series as my personal soap opera. Melodramatic plots, impressive over-acting, theatrical dialogue, and at least one corpse...what more could you ask for?

@@maggiekoch9348 It has some sit-com-y elements, especially in the episodes set in Cabot Cove, but keeps continuity better than a sit-com.

Speaking of puns, you might say that Angela Lansbury...kills it...in this role.

@@maggiekoch9348 Detective shows tend to put the main detective's own flaws and back-story, with trauma, front and center. This show is an exception. Jessica has hardly any flaws, and comes into and out of any situation pretty unruffled.

I can see why you say "soap opera" but it didn't have a lot of drama happen in Jessica's own life, which is actually a refreshing change, as many mysteries / crime shows do.

KNITTING NEEDLES.

9/11 man, 9/11

fun fact: at least, domestically in the US, knitting needles are still allowed on flights by TSA! (caveat: the individual TSA agent does have final say, so always be polite and carry a self addressed envelope large enough to carry your knitting.)

Puppies!

@@box5evey I assume this is under the theory that if we ever reach the point where old ladies are hijacking planes with knitting needles, we've already lost to the terrorists anyway.

I absolutely loved this line, too!

I need a T-shirt with this line printed on it.

Loved the "I'm up in the air" and "close shave" lines for sure. All the better since they're delivered in a very normal, non-joking tone.

Has anyone seen the "Hot in Cleveland" episode where Alex Trebek plays a park ranger and rescues women "in jeopardy"? He delivers the line in a way that just throws the inside joke / pun in your face. Puns are really better when they're delivered like this actor did - as if they weren't deliberate.

I didn't think of it at first (I am starting to talk like Jessica Fletcher) but even if Errol had been a legit inspector, that request to Jessica was basically, "I want you to help me solve the case (and since this is Jessica Fletcher there's a fine line between that and "solve the case for me") so I can take credit and get a promotion."

seconded, that episode is all kinds of wild

Not one of my favs, but it is a good one, especially because it has the guy who voiced The Lobe, on Freakazoid.

Exquisite Splendor David Warner is the actor you’re referring to.

@@Jackie-McCann Thank you. For the life of me I could not remember his name. I've seen him The Omen, The Man With 2 Brains, and Scream 2. Plus, he did another episode, the title of which I can't recall, but it took place in China, or Hong Kong.

he was also in necronomicon:the second segment the cold.

"It gets lonely at the top." -- Queen Arachnia at her most smouldery

She was only in her early thirties when she shot this. I guess the deep round tones of Captain Janeway didn't happen until her 40s.

And a few million cigarettes later😁

Unfortunately destroys the theory that is in fact a secret Borg or something. **Sigh** what could have been.

I stopped the video and immediately went into the comments section for this.

I cackled! I thought it was 'feel the burn in me' though...

I remember that episode. Not on of my favs, but is does have Greg Brady.

FACT CHECK, this is a Season 3 episode, Michael did appear in Season 3 BUT his first appearance was in the first episode of Season 2. Sorry, I'm a wiki page of useless knowledge.

@@shortangel333 Oh whoops, I actually thought this episode was a Season 2 episode, my fault entirely :) Michael Hagarty generally showed up once a season, I love all of his episodes!

And played by Len Cariou, the og Sweeney Todd!

When Roses says Jessica's admirers are thieves, weirdos, etc, she probably means David from Lovers and Other Killers; Errol here, and of course, Preston Giles. Maybe Dennis Stanton, although it's kind of suggested he reforms because of Jessica. And maybe Elliot Robinson from "Menace, Anyone" (who seems to be flirting with Jessica early on, then turns out to be complicit with the killer.) But Jessica has LOTS more male friends, many of whom seem to be flirting or to like her as more than a friend: Colonel Goddard, who was part of Frank's squadron in the Air Force and appears in two episodes in season 5; a very Irish fellow professor in season 8; a very ethical district attorney candidate in "The Family Jewels" and a friend from the British Home Office in "Tinker, Tailor." And there are some others whose estates she visits after meeting them at conference, such as in "Powder Keg." It's not always clear whether they're dating, or they want to date her, etc, but they're often going with her to parties or the theater. And sometimes it seems like there could be more to her and Seth, behind the scene. The strange thing is, Seth can be...hugely old-fashioned, to put it politely, when it comes to attitudes he expresses about male-female relationships. She calls him out on it, but she's close with him anyway.

*been gone for like, though I think that probably is easy to get from the context

Same. Big time. My grandma wouldn’t let anything get in the way of her watching Jessica Fletcher solve some murders. My grandma passed about 18 years ago, so these videos are like time machines (without the possibility of obtaining winning Lotto numbers...)

They were not slugs, they were strange weasel-like mammals

Pepperidge Farms remembers. Also, Movie Nights. She did a review on that one.

This was definitively too strange to forget.

@@TheGerkuman no they where Salamander like creatures

Can we just... not talk about Threshold? I like Voyager, too; that's why I try to _forget_ Threshold.

And it be a charm if she covered the Fairhaven episode, the one where The Doctor meets his creator (my personal favorite episode), or that two-parter with the time-traveling space Nazi things.

"Oh, it really was V8! EUGH"

I was looking to see if anyone else noticed this. Two Star Trek characters in one episode! That's Robert Walker who was in two MSW eps. He passed away late 2019.

I thought he looked familiar. Thank you. ☺️

@@MechaKluh He was a certifiable *SNACC* as Charlie as well as an underrated performer. What a guy.

Oh wow, I wanna see what PUR thinks about Ab Fab...

Your dad is a treasure!

And gay!

PixelSlayers You make her sound like a hot sauce.

@@c28baby Well Kate's a hot, saucy lady! 😉

No you're not. Pat Harrington was on 2 other episodes of the show.

You're not the only one. 😊

Old? Are you calling me old?

Holy cow; it IS!!

@@toddnolastname4485 Old ENOUGH. Old ENOUGH. I, for one, am solidly middling in age.

I went to uni near Stoke so I have a fondness for the accent, but you're right 😆

And if Stoke doesn't change your mind, Birmingham definitely will.

This show used the sit-com technique of introducing characters who are old friends of the main character, or live in the small town, yet are...only seen in that one episode.

​@@jessicalillianweinberg4401 Growing Pains actually played with this by introducing Matthew Perry as a boyfriend for a few episodes and *then* killing him off. Whether that was the original plan or not, I don't know, but it was way better than, say, Family Ties introducing Alex's "best friend" as a guy who's already died of suicide.

Neil Patrick Harris was a Murder Suspect in one Episode as well

Eamonn Deane I remember calling him Doogie, because he also was doing Doogie Howser the same year.

A young Courtney Cox appeared as Jessica's niece in a two-parter.

She was The Cat on Infinity Train!

@@DigiRangerScott oh neat! i wasn't aware of that. Did I also hear Keith David on that show? i never watched, just caught bits and pieces.

She was also in a spin off from Columbo called Mrs Columbo (then it was renamed Kate the Detective) but was cancelled after one series (season).

What was really funny is, with the bows and everything, you'd immediately think "girl dog" but with the name Burt, obviously a boy.

Yes! As soon as I saw him I knew it was Charlie X! I think he did a great job in that episode, as campy as it may be. He really captured the frustrated teen angst, nothing happens fast enough mentality.

While it's kind of surprise to see how few women there are high up in business or some media field on this show (compared to today) I have been pleased to realize that the ones there are don't all turn out to be murderers or victims. In fact, I feel like the heiress / trophy wife types are more likely to turn out to be murderers...many women who have a business or are working in, say a media field where there are few women are sympathetic characters whom Jessica sticks up for or protects. (And Jessica herself does a few business ventures.) The writer in "Unauthorized Obituary" is sleazy, but that's due to the particular types of books she writes, not just being a woman successful and writing books. And Jessica even finds out about the good side of her.

John de Lancie was on “Murder, She Wrote”?! Oh, I gotta look up that episode! 😁

If the frame fits... ah John de lance gracing my fav shows.... Eugene to Arleen sorkin's Calliope on days, q on many treks, and he was even in MacGyver

@@notyouraveragenflgoated7362 so that explains both Legend and his recurring role in SG-1

Me too. I'll probably be in my 70s

Growing up with Voyager, Janeway was always my favourite Captain. I Googled Janeway Bun Scale and had a good cackle at it, as well as at the coffee memes that showed up in the same search.

@@BloodrealmX Glad you had a good laugh! Most of the Janeway memes are pretty funny.

I continue to be surprised at the number of episodes where dogs seem to play an important role.

you should watch ten little indians then.

Yes.
