Murder, She Wrote, which ran for 12 seasons, was cancelled after going up against '90s juggernaut Friends.
The Big Picture Television in the 1990s would be a decade that revolutionized sitcoms and dramas. The Simpsons spoofed a typical family comedy, while Twin Peaks descended a soap opera into dark surrealism. Never was that more clear than when a long-running mystery show confronted this new reality with an emerging sitcom. Murder, She Wrote ran from 1984 to 1996, and a major reason it ended was because of the growing popularity of Friends. The cozy mystery formula wasn’t enough anymore.
Explained during Friends: The Reunion, Aniston had requested to leave Muddling Through, to which the producer told her how little success Friends would bring her. As for ripping off Friends, this was done on purpose by the Murder, She Wrote show runners. They were venting frustrations on CBS, the channel Murder, She Wrote called home, which decided Season 12 should move from its regular Sunday night slot to Thursday night.
The sexiest episode of Murder, She Wrote, if it can be called that, included many extramarital affairs. In “If It’s Thursday, It Must Be Beverly,” Jessica realizes the older women around Cabot Cove have been sleeping with a local police officer, who is accused of his wife’s murder. “It was good clean sex once a week!” the titular “other woman” exclaims in her defense.
