女作家与谋杀案第七季

　　各位女士、先生，请欢迎美国总统葛兰艾伦华肯！
　　他是众议院院长也是个死硬的保守派，当巴特勒总统为了女儿被绑架的事件忙得焦头烂额时，华肯暂代总统职位，白宫的幕僚人员则夹在新旧总统间左右为难。绑架危机的化解及巴特勒重回总统宝座，是【白宫风云】第五季两条引人入胜的故事主轴。饰演白宫发言人的艾莉詹尼，也因她在第五季的精湛表现而荣获艾美奖最佳女主角奖。第五季可说是情节高潮迭起，也包括副总统出人意料之外的阵前换将，最高法院的大法官任命风波，及多位幕僚前往迦萨走廊的一趟致命之旅。

 Season 5 finds Murder, She Wrote's intrepid Jessica Fletcher in fine sleuthing form, and venturing farther afield from Cabot Cove--a good thing, since at the rate the murders have been happening, that town would be nearly cleaned out. Some of the best episodes take place in more exotic locales like New York (dead man on the street, wearing just one shoe), Montana (a publishing convention gone horribly wrong) and West Virginia (two whistle-blowers at a coal company found gruesomely murdered). Angela Lansbury sparkles with determination and bonhomie, hitting her stride and then some. Jessica's own life backstory is even filled out tantalizingly, especially in the episode "The Last Flight of the Dixie Damsel," in which an investigation is launched into a mysterious cargo plane that is linked, she learns to her horror, to her late husband. The series' other delight is watching for cameos by stars of a certain age, and this season doesn't disappoint, with appearances by Roddy McDowall, Shelley Fabares, and Dinah Shore--but also some up-and-comers like Megan Mullally (proof positive that the Will & Grace whine was a put-on) and future satirist Bill Maher.

　　《希区柯克悬疑短篇故事集:第四季》(Alfred Hitchcock Presents:Season Four) 是著名悬疑大师希区柯克的电视节目。这节目是单元剧，每集一个故事，在故事播放前后，希区柯克也会展示他一贯的英式幽默。紧张大师希区柯克的成就并不只有电影，他对美国的电视业也同样大有贡献，由他本人担任主持的希区柯克剧场每周推出一部短片，风格融合了恐怖、剧情、悬疑、幽默等元素，好看程度毫不输给他的那些长片。第四季总共收录了36个故事，适合心理镇定人士在深夜入睡前观看，平常爱做噩梦的免碰为妙。
