The "Murder She Wrote" blog entry

There comes a time in every blogger's life when a little "Murder She Wrote" will fall. In this case, i'm writing about MSW because my husband told me i have to ;).

We have come VERY close to cutting the cable, though we haven't yet done so. We have a couple of Roku boxes and something called a Seagate that is like a Roku but will access an internal hard drive and also YouTube. All of the machines get Netflix and the Rokus also get Hulu Plus and Amazon Prime streaming.

Netflix has MSW. And here's a little factoid about me: When i was a kid, my mom and i bonded while watching MSW and other similarly awful mysteries, such as Father Dowling, Matlock, and the oft-forgotten Diagnosis Murder. And, because i almost never forget anything unimportant, i remember many of the episodes of MSW. In enough detail that i can say who did it and/or what the major clue was. For example, the episode about the cosmetic sales convention in which Jessica's nephew Grady is accused of murder (as he usually is when he guests) is "all about the lipstick".

The other night, the hubs and i watched some "Jessica" as my mom called it. We watched the episode about the headless horseman, in which Greg Brady's Barry Williams has the wonderful line, "Ah ha ha!" as his horse spooks a car. Yeah, i wrote that correctly. He tries to spook a guy in a car while on horseback.

In this episode, nothing happens other than Barry getting his ass killed. None of it makes any sense. The main guest star (believe it or not, Greg Brady is not the main guest) speaks in the flowery language of the Gay 90's (the Gay 1890's, that is), and then some guy with a beard acts menacing. And at one point Jessica says, "This is the first thing that's made sense yet." Only it didn't. It was terrible!

And apparently i've decided to continue the tradition of not making any sense with this blog entry. Forgive me, por favor!
