You know what's really annoying? There's 12 seasons or something like that, but right around season 6 or so, Jessica disappears. She starts to only do these 2 minute introductions, and the whole show becomes random murder mysteries, only rarely involving one of the regulars, but most often it's just another random mystery show with MSW's title on it. She isn't even involved and her only appearance is the brief narration in the beginning explaining how busy she is writing another book, and opening a letter or listening to a tape from Dennis, which "gives her an idea" which then becomes the show.
It lost all it's charm.
It also lost it's charm when Tom Bosley left the show and a new, brusk sheriff takes over unfamiliar with the ways of a sleepy town.
The regulars are gone and fade away, and the charm is gone. Yet this has managed to make 12 seasons.
Does she ever come back? Or are the final 6 seasons the same, with her doing nothing more than narrating an opening?

When she took a back seat for that 2 season "experiment" and then became one of the series executive producers, that still didn't change her participation with regards to her on-screen appearance time though, did it? It would be more acceptable if she at least appeared in maybe 2 or 3 out of 5 episodes. I can certainly understand her wanting to cut back. I am just surprised they were able to make this last 12 seasons without Mrs. Fletcher at the helm.

Kind of like Dukes of Hazzard surviving with Coy and Vance replacing Bo and Luke.
