Yes, cast is a better word. Here is an episode Vicent Price might have fit in: The Legacy of Borbey House -

I clearly noted his birthday, and very clearly noted I had already done a schedule. -

I will not continue with this thread. This should belong to everyone and not be dominated by one person. Sorry! -

I have a comment to make, even if it is upsetting. I made a schedule for June 1 and Morgan Freeman's birthday. In a PM to TB, I mentioned it. My comment was either overlooked or ignored. So I didn't post it. This thread would be more enjoyable to me if we had choices besides those of one person. The rules seem pretty relaxed otherwise. Naturally, enjoy seeing Michael Rennie listed. The idea of an actual TV episode is cool and something we would not expect to happen on TCM. But this isn't supposed to follow TCM guidelines. I had fun doing my first schedule yesterday. Kind of like running with the big dogs. I lack the knowledge the two main contributors here have. I didn't have the energy to make a second schedule. I also am only fond of Andy on TV. -

I am not aware of Lorna's issue. You suggested it could be a mobile version problem. As I've mentioned, my tablet is my only computer for a while. I'm getting good at it. Most browsers on a smartphone or tablet are going to load the mobile version of websites. Against the wishes of Amazon, I have access to the Google Play Store. My tablet runs Amazon's enhanced Android. Okay TMI. I added the Opera browser from the Play Store. If Lorna uses an Apple device, I can't help. I also gave Lorna a link for Wikipedia. I've seen mobile sites act completely different from the desktop ones. I love how Opera can be set to word wrap adjust when I zoom. -

I was doing the same thing. My Opera browser is set to always load the desktop website, not the mobile version. -

I use the Opera browser on my Amazon tablet. I set it to default to desktop web pages. -

I avoid Amazon's IMDb whenever possible. This might be useful: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder,_She_Wrote#Recurring_cast -

For me it is both. A rewarding task (not chore). Fun, getting it done. I have a couple of theme ideas. Can put them here or PM you. -

Father Dowling Mysteries was a good show too. -

I used Wikipedia. I enjoyed doing my very first schedule. It took hours as I am using my tablet only. Not sure why, but it is so much fun. Maybe TopBilled with allow a mini challenge. I'm thinking a primetime schedule from either 8 PM to Midnight, or an extended 8 PM to 2 AM. Some people might be too busy for the heavier schedule. So much fun! -

TopBilled, I think Jessica started out by helping Sheriff Tupper solve a case. He got use to asking her for help. He frequently needed her assistance. -

That might be so. The show was based on current times. Guess things were pretty nasty in Sparta. Just like Murder, She Wrote, Sparta, Mississippi was not real. I like Matlock but never got into Perry Mason. -

Jerry Lewis gets my vote. Thanks for doing this. You are helping me recoup. When I can use my PC again, I will want to jump in. -
I'm going out on a limb here, but LawrenceA, based on a different thread, would probably consider The Sound Of Music 174 minutes too long. π

I Like how the movies flow from older to newer. Also enjoy the connection with Battle Circus/MASH. Um, what happens between 5 & 6 AM? -

I have a theme of my own in mind. Can't use it until next year. Randy Travis has a birthday on May 4. My theme has nothing to do with Randy. Instead, his song "1982." My schedule would be movies from 1982. TB, would you be interested in giving others poetic license? I can't do anything now. Still in post surgery mode. Only using my tablet. I am the slowest typist on the planet. I'm sure you understand why Arizona does not want the sun to shine for an extra hour. -

Funny, my favorite episode. David Ogden Stiers is a San Francisco classical music radio announcer who gets pushed out of the way for "new" music. Matlock only went nine seasons. That was enough. In The Heat Of The Night, just eight seasons. Too many seasons. For me, the violence was over the top. The four 2 hours movies for Murder, She Wrote are excellent. I think they are worth having on DVD. I believe they were all done in widescreen. "South By Southwest" goes the direction you would expect.
