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。

在阻止了 1963 年的世界末日之后，伞学院回到了现在，确信他们阻止了最初的世界末日，并彻底修复了这条遗忘的时间线。然而在短暂的庆祝之后，他们意识到自己（彻底）失算了。聪明、时尚而冰冷的麻雀学院和伞学院在一场激烈的对峙中发生冲突，然而这远非伞学院最大的麻烦。伞学院将直面挑战、损失和惊喜，并着手处理一个在宇宙中大搞破坏的不明实体（而这可能是他们自己一手造成的）。现在他们需要做的就是说服爸爸的新（也可能更优秀的）家庭，来帮助纠正因他们的到来所导致的错误。他们能否找到回到世界末日前的方法？或者这个新世界不只
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.
