DVD Reviews of Diagnosis Murder - The Second Season
DVD Review: The best of its kind
Summary: 5 Stars
There are a lot of murder mystery series, made in the 1980's and 1990's, that essentially follow the same format: each week an "older", amateur detective solves a relatively bloodless murder, usually with the help of one or two younger assistants. I'm not criticizing these series, I have been a fan of shows such as "Murder She Wrote" and "Matlock" since they were first screened. Nevertheless, rewatching many of these shows on DVD, I now realize just how predictable and formulaic many of them are (not that that's a bad thing - there is something comforting about the predictability of these shows). Season two of "Diagnosis Murder" also follows this same formula, but it does so in such a way as to stand out from the other shows in this genre.
This season of "Diagnosis Murder" is funny, innovative and some of the murders are actually a challenge to solve (often I can solve a "Murder She Wrote" mystery before the crime has even been committed). Episodes in this season include "A Very Fatal Funeral" (in which all of the murder suspects keep dropping dead just as Mark Sloan and his friends become convinced that they're guilty), "The Busy Body" (in which a corpse keeps vanishing and reappearing), "The Bela Lugosi Blues" (featuring a murderess who may or may not be a vampire), "Death in the Daytime" (in which Amanda makes a guest appearance on "The Young and the Restless") and "My Baby is Out of the World" (in which one of Mark's patients insists that the father of her baby is an alien from another planet), among others. The highlights of this season, however, are "Many Happy Returns" and "Sea No Evil", which feature Holland Taylor as a very determined IRS agent. Taylor, who later went on to appear as Evelyn Harper in "Two and a Half Men", is, as always, a joy to watch and is the perfect foil for Mark Sloan. There is a good reason why the makers of this show asked her back for a second appearance.
If you are a fan of shows such as "Murder She Wrote" and "Matlock", then this DVD set is a must. Murder mystery series don't get much better than this.
Description of Diagnosis Murder - The Second Season
Emmy award winner Dick Van Dyke stars as Dr. Mark Sloan, a dedicated doctor who dabbles in detective work in Diagnosis Murder. Caring and compassionate, Dr. Sloan enlists the help of his police detective son, Steve (Barry Van Dyke) whenever he suspects one of his patients is the victim of foul play. And he won?t rest until the bad guys are put to bed - permanently! Working alongside Sloan is pathologist Amanda Bentley (Victoria Rowell). For star performances and classic "whodunit" suspense, the right prescription is Diagnosis Murder.Bestsellers in DVD
