The Internet contains a wealth of other excellent websites about Murder, She Wrote, and no good site would be complete without offering a list of some of them to explore for yourself. These are our top picks:
AndyWorld - Unofficial Angela Lansbury Fan Club
A must-see. Andy's Unoffical Angela Lansbury Fan Club is an excellent, comprehensive website dedicated to Angela Lansbury and Murder, She Wrote. Among the highlights: a way to send fan mail to Angela!
Forever Angela: A Tribute to Angela Lansbury
This awesome site is dedicated not just to MSW but to the whole of Angela Lansbiry's career - a monumental undertaking to say the least! Among the offerings are a photo gallery, links to specific works of Ms. Lansbury such as The Manchurian Candidate and Sweeney Todd, reviews of Ms. Lansbury's movies, and a very interesting collection of fan fictions. For those of you who have always thought, "gee, I'd love to write a fanfic but I don't know where to start," there is also a very thoughtful page dedicated to writing: how to jump start your imagination, where to get ideas, and perhaps most importantly, encouragement not to give up.
Donald Bain, author of the long running Murder, She Wrote series of tie-in books, has his own website where he fields questions from readers and gives sneak peaks at what's coming next. He's written a lot of other stuff including his autobiography, which is also available for review on this site.

The page of the Yahoo! MSW club's head founder, this website offers a number of interesting links well worth visiting.

This site has a good selection of photos of both Angela and her regular supporting cast. It also boasts a good episode guide with air dates.

An unusual Internet find, this page is taken from a larger online work describing what it was like for one extra to work on the MSW set.

The B&B inn used as the stand-in for Jessica's home in Cabot Cove is featured here in its own webpage. Included are some interesting facts about the filming of the series in Mendocino, California.
epguide.com presents: Murder, She Wrote
Jeff DeVouge's MSW Epguide is exactly that - an extremely comprehensive guide to every episode of the series, complete with production numbers, air dates, guest casts, and synopses. The site also provides links to sites with more info about most of the cast and guest stars listed. An excellent resource for those devoted to detail.
This site has more fan fiction - and not just about Murder, She Wrote, but about pretty much every other book, movie, game, comic book, or television series you can think of. I love this site's tagline: "Unleash your imagination and free your soul."
Near as I can tell, this site is sort of a Wikipedia for various television series past and present, a place where people fill in the details and contribute reviews themselves. So far this group effort appears to be just getting off the ground so there isn't a whole lot of content yet, but with time it should fill out an prove interesting. There is something appealing about the community approach to this site.
Looking for the first season Murder, She Wrote DVD? Look no further. Amazon's got it here, complete with reviews from customers who've already bought the DVD themselves.
On this site presented by Universal Studios, you have the opportunity to click on a button to sign up for e-mail notification when the release date for the next season of MSW on DVD is announced. Neat idea!
The Internet Movie Database: Awards for MSW
Okay, so Angela Lansbury didn't win any Emmy awards for her work on MSW. At least the series itself won a statue or two! This comprehensive website lists them all, nominations and wins alike.
CBS.com: MSW: The Celtic Riddle
I stumbled across this artifact of days of yore, when CBS was still in the era of the MSW post-season movies. It's their offical webpage for the fourth and last MSW movie The Celtic Riddle, which aired back in 2003. Aside from the obviously outdated stuff (like when the movie was scheduled to air), it has some clips from the episode, a short bio of Angela, a trivia quiz (pretty easy), and a poll. I don't know how long this page will remain in existance, but as long as it lasts, it's worth looking at - if only for the nostalgia factor.
Just One More Thing ... Peter Falk as Columbo
If you love MSW, then you should acquaint yourself with Columbo, another outstanding brainchild of the Levinson/Link creative team. This site is a great overview of the classic Peter Falk series, with episode guides, a list of villains, links to other sites, and more.
