As part of becoming a curmudgeon, I had to invest a lot of time in watching Matlocks and Murder She Wrotes.
The latter, set in Maine had endless appeal - the California coast never looked so good.
One would never expect a take-to-the-grave clever moment to appear, but it did. Sheriff Amos Tupper (the famous Tom Bosley attempting a Maine accent) was trying to solve a murder on his own and Dr. Seth Haslett (William Windom - who had the accent nailed, and was a model curmudgeon) observed "Amos, you're going to break an ankle jumping to conclusions."
When Hollywood is good, it is very, very good.
