Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe premise of the show that is central to this episode, a Doctor that solves crime, is very similar to the basis of 'Diagnosis Murder' which began in 1993.
- GoofsInstead of confronting the producer herself for stealing the plot from her book, Jessica should have just sued for copyright infringement since her book would have copyright protection. Jessica should have no reason to personally confront him yet alone kill him since she could simply hurt him with a civil suit.

Kate Hollander: Forget the mini. I've a much better idea.
Jessica Fletcher: Oh?
Kate Hollander: A weekly series. The Jessica Fletcher Mystery Hour.
Jessica Fletcher: What?
Kate Hollander: The real-life adventures of a crime-busting mystery writer.
Jessica Fletcher: No, no, no, no.
Kate Hollander: Oh, yes, yes. It'll be sensational. New, different, original, but familiar.
Jessica Fletcher: [sighs] Miss Hollander, I don't write gunfights, car chases or bedroom scenes, so who would watch? I'm sorry, but that is absolutely the worst idea I have ever heard.

Sometimes on this series, they will mix some old pros with some young actors who are good-looking, but a little under-powered in terms of acting ability. No such issue here! All of the cast are very accomplished.
The story has a strong sense of fun, which has always been one of the best aspects of the series. This is an episode that will have you smiling. As for the plot: the deceased had many potential enemies, a plus. The unmasking of the killer wasn't the most exciting or startling ever, but in one episode, you can't have everything. This is a thoroughly enjoyable outing,
