[edit] Longest running murder mystery series
In the Origin section, it says MSW is the longest, while in Episodes, it claims "for several years the longest-running". To muddy things even further, according to List of longest running TV shows by category, that accolade goes to Alfred Hitchcock Presents, which had 4 more episodes, but in fewer years (1955-62) and before MSW. Can somebody clear up this mystery? Jessica? Clarityfiend 16:51, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Regular v. recurring cast?
What is being used as criteria for regular/recurring cast? All but one of the actors listed under 'regular cast' was actually recurring -- only Angela Lansbury was on contract the entire twelve years. William Windom, Ron Masak, etc ... they were guest stars (recurring) only. Mostly curious. D'Amico 07:55, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
- Well, it would be rather odd-looking to have only one person in the regular cast section. Also, when I watched the show, I wasn't surprised to see the other "regulars". They were clearly a level above characters like Grady. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:13, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Influences
No references, I note, to influences on the series. I assume the following are true, but have no references to back my thoughts up.
- The title is modelled on Murder, She Said.
- Fletcher is modelled on Miss Marple; both are nosy, unmarried women who stumble upon many murders and always outwit the police.
Can anyone confirm whether these are true, and insert these points, with suitable references? — Paul G (talk) 11:30, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Length per episode
Like I wrote some time ago in the German Wikipedia, the length of the episodes is not fitting. On TV the duration of an episode is only about 45 minutes. Furthermore, the duration of the DV version of every season at amazon's is also about 45*episodes. Someone with more background knowledge than me corrected this mistake in the German Wiki. I don't know, if I haven't made any logical mistakes, so I don't want to edit the articel (maybe there where cuts etc). But it would be fine, if someone with more background infos could do. (Why the hell this mistake, if it is one, is also in the ImDB?!) --82.218.61.23 (talk) 19:38, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
