She was also in Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Manchurian Candidate, and Gaslight (yes, that Gaslight).

Oh, yes, her character in Manchurian Candidate was chilling; one of my favourite movie villains ever.

My only memories of Murder, She Wrote was the fact that as soon as that show came on, it reminded me to double check my homework to see if it was ready to turn in the next day in school, since it was on a Sunday night. In fact, me trying to finish up last minute homework was probably why I don't remember anything that happened on the show. This was especially prevalent during football season, when I'd watch a Cowboys or 49ers game on CBS and Pat Summerall would announce towards the end of the game that up next after the game would be 60 Minutes, followed by Murder, She Wrote.

Speaking of that, Pat Summerall was known for leaving a noticable pause between "Murder" and "She" when announcing the CBS TV schedule following the game.

'Murder, She Wrote' came about at a time when I was old enough to stay up for that timeslot. It was especially notable for me because of Ms. Lansbury herself. There were a lot of other crime solving shows around in the time like 'Miami Vice', 'Hunter', and reruns of 'Spenser For Hire' and 'Kojak'; all with tough, grizzled, manly men. So having a series starring a sweet, compassionate woman of senior age, who solved murder mysteries and got the criminals without using weapons was a real breath of fresh air.

Damn, this one really hits hard. Conroy IS Batman to me, and many others who grew up watching that show. R.I.P… ?

We can debate all day about his live action actors (I'll die on the Christian Bale hill, for example), but Conroy was the undisputed voice of Bruce Wayne/Batman. He was even brought in to voice the character in the Arkham video game trilogy.

I actually watched Power Rangers for 2 reasons;

1) Tommy
2) I had a crush on the original Pink Ranger

When the OG Pink Ranger left the show, I made the decision to stop watching the show. Blame my almost teenage hormones for letting my crush on Kimberly Hart/Amy Jo Johnson get the best of me in that moment. Tommy should have kept me watching the show in hindsight.
