Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Watching Diagnosis Murder I often wondered did Barry Van Dyke ever solve any crimes without the help of his father? Worse than that was Dr. Sloan's solvability ratio better than that of his son the homicide detective?Despite that Diagnosis Murder was a pleasant hour spent on television during the 90s. Whatever kind of karma was in the air it put Dick Van Dyke noted surgeon at Community General Hospital in proximity of a whole lot of murders. Sometimes it took a trained medical professional to recognize them as murders. Van Dyke just gets dragged into these things sometimes just with mere curiosity.Van Dyke is aided and abetted by fellow medical professionals Victoria Rowell and Scott Baio. Baio left after a couple of seasons and was replaced by another young doctor Charlie Schlatter. But the formula remained the same, the doctors distracted by homicide solving one case a week and showing up the cops even his own son Barry.One guy I always liked who seemed in a permanent state of constipation was Michael Tucci, hospital administrator. He was forever on their cases about neglecting their day jobs as doctors, but was always around however uncomfortably when credit was given the staff of Community General for helping the cause of law and order. After all they were Michael Tucci's staff.This was a fun show and Tucci provided a lot of the fun.

Take all police-crime series you've ever seen, and pick one out in which you were able to laugh and be baffled at the same time. You will only find one, and it is Diagnosis Murder.The difference between Diagnosis Murder and CSI or NCIS, is that every case is solved in a fun and friendly sphere. The tight friendships between Mark, Amanda and Jack (Or Jesse) or absolutely heart-warming. Every episode also contains a personal touch of one of the characters, as well as a different murder case every time.Although usually I'm quite good at guessing who did it, in Diagnosis Murder it just isn't always possible.Now you either love or hate Dick van Dyke, but personally I think every role he has ever played is highly entertaining and iconic.My final statement is that Diagnosis Murder, unlike many other series is one of the last few family friendly- innocent TV series left.

Old People Show???? I'm 15 and have been watching the show since I was 12, recoding it onto my Sky+ box everyday from Hallmark and BBC 1. I really wish they hadn't cancelled it, they didn't even get a proper farewell. But what an adventure, all those episodes, I think I've seen them all, and not one comes to mind that I didn't like and enjoy.Its a shame the BBC keep swapping between Diagnoses Murder and 'Murder She Wrote'- Never watched it and don't intend to. Anyways, he characters in Diagnoses Murder are so in-depth, and the chemistry between the actors is amazing. It really was a sad day when they cancelled this show........

I'm a writer working at home and Diagnosis Murder is my lunchtime break companion - good, clean fun, good humour and nostalgia for the days of the Dick van Dyke show. How innocent we all were (and how innocent is Diagnosis Murder). I particularly enjoyed the episodes with other nostalgia figures like Joe Mannix. The bad guys always get caught, the good guys carry on. The stars clearly enjoy themselves and are having a ball without taking themselves too seriously.One beef: why were so many of the villains women or at least bitches? Amanda was too dizzy. Its hard to imagine her really carrying out anything as gruesome as an autopsy.I hope we haven't seen the last of Dick Van Dyke and family on our screens, esp. at lunchtimes!!
