Season eight of Murder, She Wrote finds mystery novelist and amateur sleuth Jessica Fletcher accepting a position as criminology instructor at Manhattan University, obliging her to rent an apartment in New York City. She has not, however, forsaken her roots; every weekend, Jessica returns to her hometown of Cabot Cove, there to commiserate with friends and loved ones. But no matter if she's in the Big Apple or the small one, Jessica just can't seem to steer clear of baffling murder cases. As in previous seasons, the individual episodes are studded with prominent guest stars, having the time of their lives playing various victims, suspects, and culprits. Among the big names seen during Murder, She Wrote's eighth season are Julie Adams, Barbara Bain, Jessica Walter, Chad Everett, Theodore Bikel, Robert Vaughn, Kate Mulgrew, James Coburn, and Darren McGavin. ~ Rovi
