The 7th Season rejoins Golden Globe winner Angela Lansbury as writer/detective Jessica Fletcher in the season that earned a Golden Globe nomination and two Primetime Emmy Award nominations! With her at the scene of the crime is an impressive lineup of guest stars, including Patricia Neal and the iconic Jerry Orbach. Whether Jessica is partnered with insurance investigator Dennis Stanton (Keith Michell), making her case in Nashville or even working to clear her own name, it's no mystery why the acclaimed series earned 41 - Primetime Emmy Award nominations and 16 - Golden Globe nominations during its many years of broadcast.

As Murder, She Wrote saunters through its sixth (of an eventual 12) season, star Angela Lansbury maintains her eternally buoyant and inquisitive air as Jessica Fletcher, professional writer and amateur sleuth. Though Jessica continued to investigate murders in her home town of Cabot Cove and elsewhere (in the worlds of high finance, opera, and voodoo, among other settings), this season began the practice of guest detective episodes, introduced by Jessica as either a story she wrote or a tale told by a friend, but starring a variety of quirky investigators: An ex-football player (Ken Howard, The White Shadow) paired with a clever poodle; a television crime-show producer who solved crime in real life (Diana Canova, Soap); a stout Irish detective (longtime character actor Pat Hingle); an abrasive homicide cop (Barry Newman, Vanishing Point); as well as recurring Murder, She Wrote characters like former jewel thief Dennis Stanton (Keith Michell) and British secret agent Michael Haggerty (Len Cariou). The producers were obviously hoping to use Murder, She Wrote's popularity to spin-off new series, but nothing from this season took off and viewer resistance soon brought the practice to an end. Executives must have been surprised to discover that, though murder mysteries are plot-driven, this show's success depends heavily on the undeniable charm of star Lansbury. Still, these one-off episodes are of a consistent quality with Lansbury's, and viewers open to variety will enjoy them just as much. The rest of the season features the usual astonishing array of guests, including movie stars old (Donald O'Connor, Singin' in the Rain) and recent (Elliott Gould, The Long Goodbye), television stalwarts (Shirley Jones, The Partridge Family; Jerry Stiller, The King of Queens; Doris Roberts, Everyone Loves Raymond; Kevin Tighe, Battlestar Galactica; and Gavin McLeod, The Love Boat), and D-list celebrities to die for (Dack Rambo, Morgan Brittany, Susan Anton, and more).

DC品牌的线上频道「DCUniverse/DC宇宙」过去预定了13集的新剧《末日巡逻队DoomPatrol》，该剧由GregBerlanti负责﹑JeremyCarver执笔剧本，剧中讲述一群被世人遗弃的超级英雄-机甲人﹑底片人﹑橡皮少女﹑疯狂简，以及领导他们的怪才「首席」NilesCaulder博士。本剧定于美国时间2月15日上线，以下是正式短预告。《末日巡逻队》过去已在《泰坦Titans》第四集率先出场，这支团队的超级英雄虽然有不同的能力，但同时亦因能力而身心受创，他们在钢骨/Cyborg的号召﹑首席/TheChief的领导下调查奇怪现象并保护地球。TimothyDalton饰演NilesCaulder博士，被称为「首席/TheChief」的他是位下肢瘫痪的天才，聪明﹑受争议的Niles环游世界找寻需要奇迹才能治好的病患，他会毫不犹豫帮助他们，期间他还组建了英雄团队「末日巡逻队/TheDoomPatrol」。（顺带一提，在《泰坦》出场的首席是BrunoBichir饰演的。）JoivanWade饰演VictorStone，亦即是DC著名英雄钢骨/Cyborg，他是个具魅力﹑爱吐糟的半人半机械身英雄，纵使他能控制世界上每一台电脑，但他还是希望能维持与「人类」的联系。BrendanFraser及RileyShanahan饰演机甲人/Robotman，身体是生物机械，该角色设定他还是人类CliffSteele时，因为赛车事故几近死亡，因此他的大脑被转移到机械身上。BrendanFraser负责机甲人的配音及饰演闪回中的CliffSteele，而RileyShanahan则是负责机甲人的表演部份。MattBomer及MatthewZuk饰演底片人/NegativeMan，拥有放射性。MattBomer负责配音及饰演底片人闪回中，还是人类时的LarryTrainor，MatthewZuk则是穿上全身装束负责表演。AprilBowlby饰演RitaFarr，亦即橡皮少女/ElastiGirl，可伸缩肢体﹑DianeGuerrero饰演疯狂简/CrazyJane，这个英雄可谓不太靠谱，因为她患有世界上最多人格的人格分裂症，不过伴随着这64个人格的是64种超能力，所以疯狂简是末日巡逻队中最强大的战力……但亦是最不稳定的。

Every year, 310 killings in France go unsolved, leaving the victims' crushed families in a state of endless grief. The French judicial system is implacable: there's no money to continue investigating cases that lead nowhere. Hunting down murderers to help bereaved families get justice is more than just a job, it's a duty for Thomas Bareski, a retired, hotshot police detective. ...
