I've been watching Murder She Wrote and each episode has a "this time on Murder She Wrote" at the beginning that is kind of a convoluted spoiler for the episode. I don't know who would want that, especially on a mystery show.
Murder She Wrote was made with old people as the target demographic and old people have terrible memories. I imagine this greatly cuts down on the "Who is that person?" "Where is she driving to?" "When are they going to catch the killer?" type questions one generally hears when watching an episode of anything for the first time with their elderly parents.
I hate those too. Especially on Murder She Wrote. I skipped every one of them.
Columbo spoils all the action scenes at the start of the episode for no reason
I love those, gives you a feel for the type of episode you are about to watch
I don't feel like there is a big variety in vibes from episode to episode on Murder She Wrote. But if they make you happy, I'm glad they are there for you.
Not so much in the first seasons but there are several episodes in the later seasons where Jessica Fletcher doesn't show up at all
