In one early episode, Jessica's friend Ethan is playing a ''VideoGame/SpyHunter'' arcade game. When footage of the game is shown, it is perfectly accurate, complete with the player's hands making movements and the vehicle on screen matching them.

An [[EpilepticTrees amusing interpretation]], [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded in the show, no less]], is that there is no better explanation for [[MysteryMagnet the sheer number of murders the lead character encounters]] throughout the long run of the series than [[TheKillerInMe her involvement in all of them]]. Indeed, if Cabot Cove alone were really to have suffered that many murders, it would top the FBI national crime statistics by several orders of magnitude. Not only does this one town see more homicides in a year than the entire state of Maine sees in real life, but the town has an estimated murder rate '''eighty-six times''' higher than the most murderous city in the real world, Caracas, Venezuela.

* LotsaPeopleTryToDunIt: In "The Error of her Ways", the first VictimOfTheWeek was shot by his wife, who then fainted. The murderer -- having witnessed the shooting -- came in to help, and saw a BriefcaseFullOfMoney owned by the husband.
