I enjoy watching reruns of "Murder, She Wrote", so the fact that I gave this a 1 is not because I dislike the show. It's just that this particular episode is just very atypical...and significantly different than the usual faire.
In this episode, Jessica has gone to New Orleans for a funeral for a beloved man. However, throughout the entire she, the dead man's son sulks, whine and acts nasty. It's so bad that instead of seeming like a real person, he seems like a caricature....and a poorly written one. Additionally, the style of the show is very different, as the murder in the show happened two decades ago...and as a result, there's far less action and far more talking...and sulking by the son.
Overall, a very, very disappointing show, as it really didn't seem like "Murder, She Wrote" and was incredibly slow, dull and different...very, very different.
