Have always been quite fond of 'Murder She Wrote'. It is a fun and relaxing watch that makes you think as you try to unwind in the evening. If one wants more complex, twisty mysteries with lots of tension and suspense 'Murder She Wrote' may not be for you, but if you want something light-hearted and entertaining but still provide good mysteries 'Murder She Wrote' fits the bill just fine.
"Fire Burn, Cauldron Bubble" is an episode that's both creepy and fun and it is more than welcome to see the picturesque Cabot Cove and its close community. The mystery is an interesting and compelling one, if not the most twisty or truly special ones apart from the atmosphere. The ending is very surprising however, wasn't expecting it.
It's particularly worth seeing for the cast. Not just an always terrific Angela Lansbury, a charmingly curmudgeonly and humorous William Windom and a likable more-than-your-bumbling-sheriff cliché Ron Masak (whose Mort did become more interesting later but he's settling well).
But also a very good guest supporting cast. Particularly Roddy McDowell, Brad Dourif and Dee Wallace, Julianna Donald is solid too.
Production values as ever are slick and stylish. The music has energy and has presence but also not making the mistake of over-scoring, while it is hard to forget or resist the theme tune.
The writing is thought-provoking, light-hearted and amiable.
In summary, creepy, intriguing and fun episode with good acting. 9/10 Bethany Cox
