Christopher Bundy: [on phone] Uh-huh, right. No, I don't think so. Oh, yes, I do understand. I disagree. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Oh, yes. Yes. Well, let's not complicate a simple thing, Mr. Harrison. You owe me the money that you borrowed. It's Friday evening. If the money's not repaid by 8:00 p.m. Sunday, I own your publishing company. Good night.

The death of Christopher Bundy
Have always been quite fond of 'Murder She Wrote'. It is a fun and relaxing watch that makes you think as you try to unwind in the evening. If one wants more complex, twisty mysteries with lots of tension and suspense 'Murder She Wrote' may not be for you, but if you want something light-hearted and entertaining but still provide good mysteries 'Murder She Wrote' fits the bill just fine.
There are better episodes of Season 2 and of the show than "Christopher Bundy-Died on Sunday" admittedly, but it is hardly a misfire. Actually like it more than initially thought, it's more involving and things make sense more. It is hard not to mention an episode with Grady Fletcher without mentioning how much of a bland and annoying, as well as often useless, dead-weight character Grady is or of Michael Horton's acting being just as much.
"Christopher Bundy-Died On Sunday" doesn't have an awful lot wrong otherwise. Some of the pacing is a bit dull in the earlier scenes and the final solution is a bit of a complicated one that takes time to get your head round (once it just about clicks, which it does eventually, it's also a pretty clever one).
Production values are high in quality as to be expected, with slick photography and isn't the villa location cool or what. The music has energy and has presence but also not making the mistake of over-scoring, while it is hard to forget or resist the theme tune.
The writing is tight, thought-provoking and typically amiable and the characters and chemistry are good fun. The story is mostly engaging and keeps one guessing, the identity of the killer was a surprise.
Angela Lansbury doesn't disappoint as Jessica, and, other than Horton, the guest supporting turns from typically reliable actors is very well done.
In conclusion, decent episode if not one of my favourites. 7/10 Bethany Cox
