[QUOTE="AndyB2008, post: 326085, member: 26097"] The Edward Woodward original almost got a fifth, as Keith Szarabajika had to pull out of Midnight Caller to reprise his Mickey role. CBS changed their minds at the last minute though, after getting into a spat with Universal Television over renewing Murder She Wrote. I believe Angela Lansbury's contract on MSW was up for renewal by the time of The Equalizer's fourth season. MSW and the original Equalizer were made by Universal Television. CBS and Universal did create another vehicle for Woodward later called Over My Dead Body, about a crime writer in San Francisco solving murder mysteries (looks familiar), which was less successful and pulled off air quickly, with episodes burnt off later. (It suffered from Murder She Wrote comparisons, not helped by Jessica Lundy's casting which gave the cynics more scoffing, not to mention timeslot - it was against Perfect Strangers, and briefly caused a timeslot move for Dallas, which was struggling anyway, to accommodate it) [/QUOTE]
