Murder Mystery Monday takes us back to the most famous mystery writer of Cabot Cove. “Tough Guys Don’t Die” introduced hardboiled private detective Harry McGraw (Jerry Orbach) as the partner of the PI Jessica Fletcher (Angela Lansbury) hired to look into an unsolved case. Although the pair don’t initially hit it off (with Harry unnecessarily breaking into her house and, like so many others, offering Jessica advice to stay out of a real criminal investigations), eventually McGraw accepts Jessica’s help and would become a recurring character on the show and even earn his own (short-lived) spin-off.

Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of The Muppet Show, the half-hour special brings the Muppets back to the Muppet Theater for sketches, musical numbers, and classic backstage antics. Special guest Sabrina Carpenter is on hand both on and off the stage as the Muppets raise the curtain, light the lights, and play the music.

The worst kept secret in Hollywood is that Chevy Chase is an asshole. No stranger to documenting complicated men, director Marina Zenovich never shies away from the topic while also struggling to show a softer side to the comedian turned actor.
