紧急呼救第九季

这部4集剧讲述John Darwin伪造自己的死亡，以骗取人寿保险并避免破产。他和妻子Anne Darwin串谋，说服保险公司John Darwin独自去乘皮划艇时失踪，并得到超过25万英镑保险金。当时债台高筑的Darwin家已经有抵押贷款，还刷爆了13张信用卡，共欠下6.4万债务，当时Anne想申请破产，但最终被丈夫说服实行这看似荒谬的计划；但这计划成功实行长达5年，甚至骗过了两名儿子，得到保险金的John及Anne后来搬到巴拿马去，直至07年John Darwin在伦敦现身才被揭发。

　　分别讲述纽约市警察局局曼哈顿区第27警署警探破案和曼哈顿检察官起诉罪犯的故事。跟别的探案剧不同的是，法律与秩序很少有枪战追击火爆场面，也很少有高科技，更没有超人的英雄。警探们靠排查摸底一条街一条街的跑查案，检察官们靠在法庭内外一次一次的辩论谈判将坏人绳之于法。

 As Murder, She Wrote saunters through its sixth (of an eventual 12) season, star Angela Lansbury maintains her eternally buoyant and inquisitive air as Jessica Fletcher, professional writer and amateur sleuth. Though Jessica continued to investigate murders in her home town of Cabot Cove and elsewhere (in the worlds of high finance, opera, and voodoo, among other settings), this season began the practice of guest detective episodes, introduced by Jessica as either a story she wrote or a tale told by a friend, but starring a variety of quirky investigators: An ex-football player (Ken Howard, The White Shadow) paired with a clever poodle; a television crime-show producer who solved crime in real life (Diana Canova, Soap); a stout Irish detective (longtime character actor Pat Hingle); an abrasive homicide cop (Barry Newman, Vanishing Point); as well as recurring Murder, She Wrote characters like former jewel thief Dennis Stanton (Keith Michell) and British secret agent Michael Haggerty (Len Cariou). The producers were obviously hoping to use Murder, She Wrote's popularity to spin-off new series, but nothing from this season took off and viewer resistance soon brought the practice to an end. Executives must have been surprised to discover that, though murder mysteries are plot-driven, this show's success depends heavily on the undeniable charm of star Lansbury. Still, these one-off episodes are of a consistent quality with Lansbury's, and viewers open to variety will enjoy them just as much. The rest of the season features the usual astonishing array of guests, including movie stars old (Donald O'Connor, Singin' in the Rain) and recent (Elliott Gould, The Long Goodbye), television stalwarts (Shirley Jones, The Partridge Family; Jerry Stiller, The King of Queens; Doris Roberts, Everyone Loves Raymond; Kevin Tighe, Battlestar Galactica; and Gavin McLeod, The Love Boat), and D-list celebrities to die for (Dack Rambo, Morgan Brittany, Susan Anton, and more).

 《深空九号》的设想萌发于1991年，就在吉恩·罗登伯里逝世之前不久。《深空九号》的故事发生在一座太空站深空九号上（前卡达西人采矿站“Terok Nor”），由星际联邦和贝久政府共同管理，而贝久星不久前才刚从卡达西人的殖民统治中解放。根据作者之一的伯曼介绍，他和皮勒本来设想的是以一个殖民地行星为故事背景，但是他们认为一个太空站可以吸引更多的观众，并节省更多用于外景和星球表面上拍摄的资金；与此同时，他们也十分不希望这个新电视剧是发生在星舰上的，因为当时《下一代》仍然在播放中。用伯曼的话说，就是“同时有两部电视剧——两组角色——都在朝着前人所未至的领域进军，看起来真有些荒谬可笑。”
