I've already thought Season Seven will never be released. Now, having sent my pre-order, I'm relieved. This too is a great season, I like the improvement in the character of Sherif Metzger a lot. I also like the Dennis Stanton parts, there is a fine humor and a kind of elegance there, but to be honest, it could have been a different series. Because evry sequel without Jessica/dear Ms Lansbury is a waste, isn't it.

There is actually little on TV these days that I consider worth spending time to watch; just too much gore per square inch. But I never get tired of watching the older mysteries-- Poirot, Perry Mason, and especially Murder, She Wrote. These mysteries have just the right amount of suspense, action, and even humor-- nice comic relief. I highly recommend these to anyone who wants a good story without having nightmares!
