《女作家与谋杀案》是一部非常著名且持续时间很久的美国经典侦探剧集。这部剧集共12季264集,从1984年开始在美国CBS电视台一直播放至1996年,之后又于1997年至2003年间陆续推出四部电视电影。Angela Lansbury扮演主角推理小说家兼业余侦探Jessica Flectcher,她在50岁左右失去了丈夫, 却成为了一名非常成功的推理小说作家,并且没有让成功冲昏头脑,拒绝了声望和金钱的诱惑,住在缅因州一个叫Cabot Cove的安逸的沿海小镇,和自己的老朋友们保持来往。在大部分剧集里,Jessica总能卷入一些离奇谋杀案的调查。警察们总是把表面上看来嫌疑很大的人抓走,而Jessica却觉得凶手另有其人。通过向每个嫌疑人询问一些其他人都想不到的问题,她总能找到真正的凶手,并在每集最后五分钟与之对峙,通过自己的推理指出对方的罪行。一部分凶手能够在Jessica的劝解下主动坦白罪行并向警方自首,也有一部分凶手会试图杀人灭口,而这时埋伏在暗处的警方人员便会及时赶到,将凶手当场逮捕。

这部昔日的CBS旗舰剧集已经失去了一个好汉(Charlie Sheen被开除,Charlie Harper也随之死亡),现在又将失去半个好汉——因为种种原因(如果你相信CBS官方所说的「他要读大学」那你就太天真了),Angus T. Jones不再是该剧的常规演员,他的名字也将从片头字幕中彻底抹除。
Mrs. Brown's Boys became a runaway success upon its initial broadcast. Every episode aired won its timeslot for RTÉ, with an average viewership of 753,500 in January, 2011. One episode's rating beat that of RTÉ's own ratings giant The Late Late Show, with 856,000 viewers tuning in to watch. However, critics disliked the show. "The whole thing is entirely predicated on viewers finding a man dressed as a foul-mouthed elderly woman intrinsically funny," noted Bernice Harrison in the Irish Times. "If you do, you’re away in a hack (and the viewing figures are astronomical), but if you don’t, and you think that died out with Les Dawson and Dick Emery, then it’s a long half-hour." The Irish Independent said that Mrs Brown's Boys was the type of TV programme that "that makes you vaguely embarrassed to be Irish". The Daily Telegraph's Sam Richards noted that show's comedy has a "rudimentary nature", consisting of "an old-fashioned blend of silly voices and slapstick, played out in front of a live studio audience who collapse into giggles at the mere mention of the word “willy”.
