After a week of stupid news, I FINALLY have something positive to report! As you may have noticed, basically every show that ever ended is getting rebooted because TV execs are lazy af.
Need a new family dramedy? Let’s just bring back The Gilmore Girls. Want a new suspenseful drama? Let’s bring back Prison Break. Need a new sassy gay show? See what the cast of Will and Grace is up to. Kevin James’ new sitcom sucks? Kill off the chick playing his wife and bring back the chick who played his wife on King of Queens. You get the idea.
While I see absolutely no need for any of the above reboots, other than the fact that bitches need to get paid, the world of tv has finally brought up rebooting something I actually WOULD watch: Murder, She Wrote.
And before you ask: Yes. Angela Lansbury is still alive and would 100% come back to play Jessica Fletcher.
Lansbury is 91 and ready to get back to solving (or committing, depending what fan theories you believe) murders all across Cabot Cove!
Before I get you all worked up thinking that Angela Lansbury is going to crank out another 12 seasons of Murder, She Wrote, I should note that this isn’t so much a tv show reboot as a discussion about doing one final Murder, She Wrote tv movie, which I am more than fine with!
I don’t need to risk getting attached to a new season of Murder, She Wrote only to have it turn into Jessica Fletcher, She Dead. A movie is a much smaller commitment in terms of Angela Lansbury staying alive, so here’s hoping this really happens! Up next in Krysta’s tv fantasy world: A Buffy reboot!
Side note: I forgot to mention the reboots of The X-Files and Twin Peaks. Dammit, these tv jerks are lazy.

I used to drive by Angela Lansbury’s house on my way to work in Hollywood…she’d be working around her front yard flowers, she’d wave when I’d honk…
