Murder, She Wrote vs Matlock??


which is better?

reply

Murder She Wrote. I enjoy both shows despite annoying main characters. But this show has better atmosphere and mysteries. I remember that when I rewatched Matlock a few years back I often felt frustrated at how Matlock resolved a mystery. And like Perry Mason, it's so unrealistic it even has to come to a trial.

i always thought perry mason was a complex show. you really had to pay attention and even then you might not understand who the killer was.

I've only seen the 80s and 90s movies, so I can't really comment on that.

I prefered Matlock because Matlock was a more likable character while Jessica came across as very uppity.

Matlock I guess, mainly because the fake Maine accents on Murder, She Wrote are wicked annoying.

Columbo is way better than both of them.
