累计发行量突破1160万部,在文学史上散发着孤高光辉的北方谦三的历史大河小说《水浒传》,全19卷将在WOWOW完全映像化。故事发生在北宋末期(12世纪初)的中国,志同道合的汉人们聚集在“梁山泊”,为了纠正腐败的社会而勇敢地站起来。在本作品中担任主演的是至今为止引领日本电影、电视剧界的织田裕二,他饰演梁山泊的头领宋江。
Season 5 finds Murder, She Wrote's intrepid Jessica Fletcher in fine sleuthing form, and venturing farther afield from Cabot Cove--a good thing, since at the rate the murders have been happening, that town would be nearly cleaned out. Some of the best episodes take place in more exotic locales like New York (dead man on the street, wearing just one shoe), Montana (a publishing convention gone horribly wrong) and West Virginia (two whistle-blowers at a coal company found gruesomely murdered). Angela Lansbury sparkles with determination and bonhomie, hitting her stride and then some. Jessica's own life backstory is even filled out tantalizingly, especially in the episode "The Last Flight of the Dixie Damsel," in which an investigation is launched into a mysterious cargo plane that is linked, she learns to her horror, to her late husband. The series' other delight is watching for cameos by stars of a certain age, and this season doesn't disappoint, with appearances by Roddy McDowall, Shelley Fabares, and Dinah Shore--but also some up-and-comers like Megan Mullally (proof positive that the Will & Grace whine was a put-on) and future satirist Bill Maher.
