本剧是1987~1992年香港亚洲电视公司根据正史与民间野史编写的剧集,动员了亚洲电视台的大部份艺员参与拍摄。该剧不但在香港造成了收视热潮,也在香港以外的地区受到相当程度的欢迎。剧名《满清十三皇朝》,源自民国八年(1919年)由“燕北老人”所著《满清十三皇朝秘史》。二者描写的俱为努尔哈赤建立的后金国与清朝共十二位皇帝。(包含十一代,同治帝和光绪帝为堂兄弟)。燕北老人因为皇太极(清太宗)将国号由“金”改“清”,年号亦由天聪改为崇德,算两个皇朝。故称之为“满清十三皇朝”。

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.
