Hey all, I decided to go ahead and edit out the wolf quip. It was just supposed to be a quick comment, but I was getting a little fatigued on it being explained to me over and over again. It was my bad. Regardless, I do appreciate your comments. ♥️

[@JanaeSmith]

*big hugs! (btw, this is probably out of your wheelhouse for this channel, but I was just thinking how I loved Angela Lansbury in Bedknobs and Broomsticks, and it made me wonder about an old thought I had when I was reassessing my lifelong obsessions (like Angela)... When Lily Tomlin came out... Sorry this is rambling, but the bottom line was me wondering if Miss Lansbury is also gay but has just never felt the need to explore that since she's so much older in generation gaps.) Wow, that was a long aside. Anyway, have always loved the channel and am so happy to see you up to 300k subscribers! ^_^ (I guess I could send this in Patreon, but I wanted to add to the algorithm here)

[@chaseohara4781]

The side story about the librarian actor and her insurance wasn't a one off, either. Apparently Angela Lansbury frequently had her friends and colleagues on the show, particularly the ones who had had long careers but were waning in popularity as they aged. She has a long history in Hollywood and Broadway, so she was acquainted with basically everyone. I really enjoy knowing that she made a point of ensuring that quality lifelong actors continued to get work whenever she could.

[@bnpartners]

This is true. It is known that she used the show to help out of work actors - so great. I love seeing all the people in the show.

My only issue with the “false wall” plot point is that no one points out that it smells. Like 18 months decomposing in a wall like that would make that house reek

[@thunderphoenix440]

[@LibraGamesUnlimited]

A lot of the ones I've seen (I haven't seen this one) say the body is covered with lime which I think dissolves the body and hides the smell.

[@haven9013]

A little prop fact. They actually used the correct lens tint on the supposed vampire's glasses. That is, to the best of my knowledge and vision, FL-41 tint, a color that is used in people with photophobia. It is known to also reduce the number of migraines for some people with chronic migraine.I am impressed they didn't use sunglasses which are much cheaper and easier to find

The *real* insanity is that no one found the grossly decaying body oozing through the drywall after maybe a week - people are made of meat! You don't just shove a body in a wall and expect it to remain a pristine mannequin for untold years! That guy being a vampire is the more believable part of this episode.... ;D

[@dragonwings36]

I know, right?! The smell would have been awful!

[@robertgronewold3326]

I was thinking the same thing. Even if you wrap the body in plastic the smell would reach you. Decay is the only scent that a human can smell at the same intensity as a dog, because we are made to avoid it.

[@onyxstewart9587]

Yes! A rat died in my wall once and the smell was horrific. I can only imagine how bad a decaying human body would smell

[@MrDj232]

18 months isn't long enough for the smell to fade either. Everyone who gets near that wall should know there's something dead in there during the episode.

The tragic tale of a reluctant vampire who grew tired of murder and lonely for society so he put himself to sleep until a time he hoped a cure could be found.

[@DawnOfTheOzz]

Just as an aside to Madlyn Rhue's part in this episode, she was suffering from multiple sclerosis at the time which left her confined to a wheelchair which explains why her character was also in a wheelchair. Aside from that sad little tid-bit, this episode really is bonkers. Like, the show tends to dabble in the supernatural and the occult from time to time but how insane would it have been if Jessica Fletcher had to face off against forces beyond her understanding and control? I mean, Diagnosis Murder had an episode involving a vampire and Walker, Texas Ranger featured episodes with skinwalkers, Satanic cult members, psychic children and mystical Buddhist monks.

[@lyinar]

I think it manages to get away with the hints of the supernatural in this one because of how completely tangential it is to the actual murder mystery. By making the question of whether or not the photophobic guy with the lost Crane brother as a minion is actually a vampire completely unimportant to the plot, they can give a nudge and wink toward the possibility that he actually is in a way that they couldn't if it *did* actually matter.

[@elaineteeter2904]

Madelyn Rhue, a very beautiful actress in her day had developed multiple sclerosis and was going to lose her medical coverage. Angela’ s act of friendship to her dear friend was pure kindness to this lovely actress in her time of need. I will always love Angela for this.

[@Cheezbuckets]

This may be a weird thing because it’s something I happened to look into for writing purposes, but which wood you need for staking a vampire is actually quite varied! Ash was common in the Baltic states and Russia, hawthorn in Serbia. Aspen was very popular because it’s believed that Christ’s cross was made from aspen, and similarly any thorny plant is associated with Christ’s crown of thorns and considered to have power over vampires. However, at the end of the day, any local wood was effective because what are you supposed to do if you’re living out in rural wherever where there aren’t any aspen trees around in pre-fast transportation eras, and you’re pretty sure your neighbour’s gonna rise from the grave and drain your town dry? Ya gonna wait for to get aspen from somewhere else? No! Get whatever wood you’ve got and stake that mf! In fact, while using wood may stem from a belief that, to kill the undead, you cannot use something that has never been alive, metal tools and blades have also been used as stakes in what we now consider “vampire burials”, so wooden stakes may not even be necessary depending on your vampire lore! Source: Wikipedia, I’m not an academic with access to all sorts of research papers and historical records, I just do this for fun

[@MrDj232]

I'm surprised they bothered with lore about requiring specific wood when they're just using whatever is local.

[@Cheezbuckets]

@@MrDj232 I assume it grew out from local traditions/superstitions/folklore, but I don’t know since the sources seem to be mostly non-English and/or behind academic pay walls. I intend to look into it more in the future since it’s a weird little thing I’ve become invested in, but idk whether I’ll ever find answers with the resources I have access to lol

In I Am Legend, Richard Mathison (sp) had his hero whittling stakes til he realized ANYTHING which prevents the vampire from regenerating to wholeness will stop him.

[@svipulvalke9913]

That scene in the graveyard with the teens was most definitely reminiscent of a Buffy cold open! I also giggled at the comment about the butler being like Frasier and Niles merged. So accurate

[@83croissant]

Vampires have been known to transform into wolves actually, and due to the amorphous nature of folklore, vampires and werewolves and ghouls are sometimes considered the same thing generally, depending on who you ask . A lot of Vampire lore is very modern

[@tsubakiofmelancholy6297]

He who is werewolf in life, shall become vampire in death. This was a belief because to be a werewolf in the olden days it involved black magic and devil worship. And those who practiced such things were not allowed to be buried on hallowed ground. Vampires were often believed to be caused because a body was not properly buried, like it wasn't buried on hallowed ground, it had no tombstone, it was never buried at all, that sort of thing. The belief werewolves become vampires in death actually would explain why vampires can turn into wolves.

There’s no canon . The main difference is that ghouls eat flesh and vampires eat blood. Bram Stoker brought transforming into bats and dogs into it , also he might have been drawing on his own Scottish folklore about fairies as well as Eastern European stories about vampires. Scottish fairies such as the baoban sith drink human blood , hypnotize people into their thralls, and shapeshift

[@nichellewhalen2413]

This was just so delightful. I love your take on this episode. If you do decide to review “Prediction, Murder” I think it’s important you do the episode right before it called “Last Flight of the Dixey Damsel” These two episodes are directly connected. Dixey Damsel ends then Prediction Murder picks up exactly where Damsel ends. It’s the only time this ever happens in Murder She Wrote and I always thought it was such an interesting idea. You are a truly excellent writer and I appreciate the time you take on your videos. 🙂

There is a party and a psychic shows up, and let's just say...things get fiery. Also the actor who plays Lawrence Baker plays the psychic and if you thought he was smooth here well buckle up because it's about to get smoother!

[@matthewkoch6937]

A great, creepy, and memorable episode. Jess being menaced by Charles with that hammer is one of the most frightening narrow escapes of the series, in my opinion. Some other episodes I'd love to see you cover are "Reflections of the Mind", "Broadway Malady", "We're Off to Kill the Wizard", "Murder on the Thirtieth Floor" and "Threshold of Fear." Thanks for your great content. Would you ever consider reviewing "the Mirror Crack'd" with Angela Lansbury as Miss Marple?

[@cameronjim2983]

To my knowledge, the wolf symbol makes some sense as vampires in the old days were interpreted as undead shapeshifters; mist, a bat, a rat, and the real kicker, a wolf. Eventually down the line they split into two separate entities like divorced parents w/ both halves taking certain elements of the other. SIlver weakness being kept for the wolf.

I’m kind of a fan of finding otherwise real-world shows ending with an “maybe they are realllll” coda. I recently caught an old Mission Impossible episode called “Dubrovnik’s Ghost” where they pretty much state that a ghost helped the team out. I think both Quantum Leap and Voyagers had “real” ghosts too.

[@MrDj232]

Quantum Leap always had an element of the supernatural though. God was attributed as the reason he couldn't leap back to his own time without fixing the past. And there was a recurring antagonist hologram that was heavily implied, if not outright stated, to be a demon. Voyager on the other hand was just plain weird.

[@literaterose6731]

I've got a LAUNDRY LIST of episodes that I'd love to hear your take on, and I mean an honest-to-God list: -"The Murder of Sherlock Holmes", 1x01/02. Might as well review the two-parter where it all began, eh? -"Hit, Run and Homicide", 1x03. Full-size RC cars, over a decade before MythBusters. -"Death Casts a Spell", 1x11. Hypnosis and murder, oh my! -"Widow, Weep for Me", 2x01. Jess hams it up in-character as a wealthy widow in an island resort to help solve a murder. -"Jessica Behind Bars", 2x09. Jess helps defuse a riot in a women's prison and also solves two deaths along the way. Thrill-a-minute. -"Trial by Error", 2x13. Basically, what if "Twelve Angry Men" had Jess, Thelma "Mama" Harper and Sisko's dad among the jury? IMO the finest episode of the series, and a MAGNIFICENT tour-de-force for Lansbury as Jess basically hemming in eleven other people. -"Keep the Home Fries Burning", 2x14. Murder. A smarmy health inspector. Greasy-spoon diners. This one has it all. -"Christopher Bundy: Died on Sunday", 2x19. Featuring Bert Convy in his second and final appearance on the show (his first was in 1x01-02, "The Murder of Sherlock Holmes"), this time as a jackass publisher who gets offed. -"The Days Dwindle Down", 3x22. The episode is positioned as a retconning sequel to an old, obscure noir film, "Strange Bargain", down to getting the actors back to reprise their roles. Really interesting outline. -"Showdown in Sasketchewan", 4x20 (blaze it!). How do you shake up a cowboy-themed murder plot? Set it in Canada, at Totally Not the Calgary Stampede! -"Deadpan", 4x21. A really good caper involving a high-profile stage play and the murder of a critic. -"J.B As In 'Jailbird' ", 5x01. Jess is framed for a politically-motivated murder...for her own good! A Michael Hagarty episode. -"The Wearing of the Green", 5x06. Three words: White-Dwarf Starlet. Prepare for ham. And no, that's not a comment on anyone's height, skin or ethnicity. -"Prediction: Murder", 5x08. A psychic's predictions come true to the letter, leading to murder. -"Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall", 5x21/22. Two-parter that sees a rival mystery writer raise unholy hell for Jess...and poor old Hazlitt gets caught up. -"The Szechuan Dragon", 6x21. What happens when you mix campy martial-arts farce with Jess's mysteries? This. -"The Return of Preston Giles", 7x07. A very important character from the very first episode of the show returns, with consequences for Jess and himself. -"Thicker than Water", 8x04. A sad episode involving Metzger's brother Wayne, the family's black sheep. -"Incident in Lot #7", 8x13. Somebody gets murdered in the "Psycho" house at Universal Studios. -"To the Last, I Will Grapple With Thee", 8x17. All I'mma say here is that it's hella Irish and breaks the formula. -"The Mole", 9x03. Perhaps one of Jess's finest bluff jobs, busting a murderer in the process. -"Final Curtain", 9x11. An acting troupe comes to Cabot Cove, murder happens...and perhaps the saddest conclusion to any MSW episode I've seen. -"Killer Radio", 9x14. Jess has a stopover in a small town, and has to deal with an asshole shock-jock and murder in a radio station. -"Murder at a Discount", 10x09. "Misblamed" doesn't even cover the half of this one. Jess gets sued because of unfortunate coincidence. -"To Kill a Legend", 11x03. Another "Cabot Cove comes to grips with dirt on its town hero" episode, but this one's got a really good twist. -"The Scent of Murder", 11x12. It's a botany murder! Perhaps the only non-Cabot Cove episode where Hazlitt joins Jess. -"The Dream Team", 11x18. We've got a one-two-three-four punch of Jess, Grady, Metzger AND Hazlitt all taking active roles in this one. I haven't seen ALL of the series as of yet, but the entire run, movies and all, getting added to the Roku Channel for free streaming sure makes this easier than buying the DVD set. (EDIT 3/25/22: List revised. One entry removed, SEVERAL entries added as I've seen the majority of the series now)

@@gaywizard2000 Including the edit time, roughly an hour, all-in. I was paging through the series on the Roku Channel to remind myself of episodes I'd suggest to Roses.

[@obscerberus3674]

One comment = one reminder that KZbin copyright strikes are ridiculous. Keep making great stuff!

[@qwertimus]

This is your best Murder She Wrote video yet! Great episode, better commentary and editing; really love this series!

[@FiresideAngel]

Got home from work and got my notification for this video and it was just the cherry on top of an already great day! Thank you for everything you do, you bring so many happy vibes to us all! Blessed be!

[@caje41]

Actually happened to have watched this episode last night with the missus! Ngl I was really hoping that the show would take a turn and every episode from then on would feature a monster of some sort. Jessica Fletcher: Monster Hunter! Loved the video as usual. Those "why you always lyin" bits cracked me up. Keep up the good work!

[@loriegabidel]

I am working my way through this show because of you. I finally got to this episode and clapped because I've been waiting to watch this video of yours.

[@temporalwolf7054]

A note on the wolf imagery on the vampire stuff, wolves actually have a long history in regards to vampires, with vampires turning into wolves being a long standing power from what I gather. The rivalry with werewolves is a relatively recent (but still old) addition to the grater monster lore, as it were. Wolves were initially linked to vampires both because of a wolf's percieved nobility while also being a feared predator mirroring the stately and charismatic nature of vampires charming their victims into isolation where they strike. ...of course now I'm imagining Dracula in wolf form rolling over on his back looking for belly rubs as a part of his hunting routine.

[@timsloane]

Yay! Another Murder She Wrote review! Also, the title of this video tickled my brain about a Diagnosis Murder episode, and sure enough, vampires are also real according to a season 2 episode of Diagnosis Murder! Oddly enough, there's more info about the episode on the Female Villains wikia than the IMDB page... femalevillains.fandom.com/wiki/Moriah_Thomas_(Diagnosis_Murder)

[@NastyWoman1979]

Would LOVE to see some Diagnosis Murder recap.

[@pickering86]

I'm going to bet that (behind the scenes), they decided to update the sherriff office set, and changed the script to include this, so the new sherriff station didnt seemingly come out of nowhere. At least a third of this episode was put to mentioning the renovation of the sherriff office.

[@AdamOfIngolstadt]

the whole contracting thing is such a cute reference to one of the protagonists of Dracula, Jonathan Harker

[@ayhrielvisante1386]

I’m so glad this is back up!

[@TheJeannag]

"Well, judging from your behaviour, I'm not sure you are" is, perhaps, the greatest burn I have heard, ever.

[@pyratehyena1312]

objection! vampires, in particular Bram Stoker's Dracula, can transform into wolves. werewolves are jealous little puppies. unless we are talking about stalking glitter creeps, in that case, misrepresenting native american culture of a specific tribe the author displayed no actual interest in, should not be tolerated. end of rant mode. I'm sorry. good episode.

[@lazyhomebody1356]

Jacob isn't a werewolf, per se. The wolf is the totem of his tribe and they can shapeshift into wolves because of that

[@adityasanthanam1945]

This was a fun video and a very fascinating episode of Murder She Wrote. It is great to have another Murder She Wrote video, but it is sad that the episode was blocked. As always, I hope to see more interesting MSW episodes covered.

[@theplagueboybunny6794]

The “I’m beginning to get rather annoyed” sound bite is everything I’ve needed

[@suzyg10]

So good seeing another one of these! I'd love to see any Murder She Wrote episodes done! I'll hang out for another one.

[@UltramaticOrange]

2:33 "The angriest sanding ever." is a redundant statement.

[@danielrose8305]

I love these videos so much. I think this is the 5th time I've gone through the Murder She Wrotes. Thank you so much for your hard work!

[@tremenari4240]

I’m so glad I checked for a new video, because KZbin didn’t notify me. Great video as always.

[@evenstar54]

So glad this is watchable now, my sister and I were waiting for it!

[@DoctorSciencetime]

My boyfriend and i love watching these together. It's also gotten us into watching MSW and other cozy mystery shows!

[@badgerrambler]

I could watch you narrate every episode of Murder She Wrote… excellent commentary, as usual!

[@janetalksreel]

YAAAASSSS! It's been ages since a That Time on Murder She Wrote episode! Great work as always :) Please sometime cover A body to die for, season 7 episode 6, Cabot Cove episode where everyone is lusting after some dude including Eve Simpson and a dead guys body shows up in her bedroom and also Floyd is adorable in it. He always acts like he's putting on a school play, he's the best

[@just-say-when]

Yay! it's back. The Frasier/Niles thing made me laugh so hard and then when I went to share the video with friends, it was gone!

[@unbirthdaygirl]

Your fantastic videos have inspired me to do a full binge on all MSW episodes on Peacock, and I have a few suggestions of episodes you could cover. The Night of the Tarantula from season six (which features a zombie--sort of) and Fixer Upper, also season six. This one is one of the many in this season that Angela Lansbury doesn't really feature in very much, but there is a lot of Grady and she manages to solve the murder over the phone which is just so great. Side note, on a deeper dive of your channel the discovery that you had videos about classic Nickeloden shows, Kings Quest VI, and HomestarRunner sort of made me feel seen! I have met zero people in my life who have as many common interests of really random things from my childhood so thank you for existing and creating this space!

[@joshuagraham3854]

Same thing happened on an episode of Diagnosis Murder, though much more explicitly.

[@rebeccafulop942]

I love your videos! I wish you'd do an update to this one addressing the fact that Borbey does NOT mean "Baker" in Hungarian and isn't even remotely a Hungarian word. Also on the topic of ambiguous endings: I can't remember if you've done the season 1 episode "Lovers and Other Killers" where Jessica solves the murder but we're left with the suggestion that her creepy would-be secretary might be a killer after all.

[@fanfan-ni6cw]

Congratulations on 300k subscribers! Your content is a fun throwback.

[@LioBitachie]

What a culinary episode! We have a baker, garlic and steak and fittingly Metzger (which is the german word for butcher). Someone was deadly hungry while writing.

[@PrinzPassionsfrucht]

4:58 its references like these that, other than the awesome content, keep me subscribed to this amazing channel. thank you for providing tons of laughter, PushingUpRoses!

[@WiseDelilah]

The Fraiser jokes are killing me. I can't laugh aloud as everyone asleep, so it hurts more.

[@limlaith]

I just love hearing you exclaim: "Well, that's some bullshit" and then dismissing it on your next breath and carrying on! 🤣

[@gretacwink8659]

oh i am SOOOOOOO excited to watch this...since i'm out of the U.S. I can't watch MSW on Prime OR Netflix...and this tides me over bigtime. Plus your commentary is exemplary

[@inwalters]

Glad you're back! As Xterra said below we want "Jessica Behind Bars"! Please.

[@lockhak33]

Someone annoyed Jessica and then wound up dead... Yeah that's not a coincidence.

[@SuperPooped]

I bought the entire box set and me and my mum have been slowly making our way through it. It’s JOYOUS

[@adrianaheiler9794]

I didn't watch much MSW back in my day, which is surprising because my grandma ADORED this show and Jessica. She would have been 110 years old yesterday if she was still with us 😉 I don't know if I will check out the series as a whole again, since so much time has passed and things that used to be cool in my youth don't hold up to a rewatch decades later. So I'm really grateful for your summaries and, since I just started watching, still have several videos to check out. When I saw the butler in this episode I immediately thought of Frasier and you calling him 'Nasier' or 'Crane Square' greatly amused me 😂

[@nbnb382]

Just got some good news and celebrating with this!!! Great video, keep up the good work!

[@PD-mi3qj]

I live for these videos, Roses! Please do Death stalks the big top, its a 2 parter and completely over the top, off the rails, ridiculous. And the guess stars are amazing!

[@marciaaaa]

I love this series. Congrats on the 300k! ♥

[@pictureperfect3211]

I was sooooo confused! I knew we were overdue for another NSW entry! Would love more videos on the show as a whole.
