Celebrating 40 Years of ‘Murder, She Wrote’ with the Blogathon; Cabot Cove-thon!

When I signed up for the It’s In The Name of The Title Blogathon, one of the movies I chose to review was Harry & Son starring Robby Benson. When I think of Robby, I think of how he voiced Beast in the 1991 animated film, Beauty and the Beast. Remembering how Angela Lansbury also starred in that film, I always thought it was a missed opportunity for Murder, She Wrote to not promote the 1991 movie, especially since the show was still a popular program at the time. This led me to realize Angela and Robby have another thing in common; they both starred in a project released in 1984. In Angela’s case, that program was Murder, She Wrote! In honor of the show’s 40th anniversary, I’m hosting Cabot Cove-thon! Because Murder, She Wrote is a multifaceted program, there are many ideas for blogathon participants to choose from. Here is a list of possible subjects:

  • Characters, locations, or stories from the show
  • Actors, Actresses, behind-the-scenes team members, etc. who worked on Murder, She Wrote
  • Murder, She Wrote made-for-TV movies

  • The Murder, She Wrote theme park attraction at Universal Studios Florida
  • Movies, tv shows/tv show episodes, or books taking place in a location featured on Murder, She Wrote (example: a movie set in Maine)
  • Movies, tv shows/tv show episodes, or books released between 1984 to 1996
  • Programs Angela Lansbury starred in (example: 1991’s Beauty and the Beast)
