Review of Murder, She Wrote

The population of Cabot Cove was 3,650 (mentioned in one script). Given that there were 22 episodes per season, it must have had the highest murder rate in the U. S. -- which is really saying something. I assume that this became such a wide spread joke that this is why Jessica began solving murders in New York, then moved on to other locations around the globe. Jessica's powers of observation were also amazing, like solving a murder because of a loose thread on the cuff of one murderer's jacket. Sheriff Amos Tupper was almost as inept as Barney Fife (but Barney's character was on a comedy). Jessica must have also come from a large family and had around 10 siblings. They in turn had families equally as large. That is how Jessica could travel for 12 years to visit a niece or nephew, and solve yet another murder while she was visiting. Jessica became so legendary that she also aided British Intelligence and even Interpol.
