For star performances and classic whodunit suspense the right prescription is DIAGNOSIS MURDER.System Requirements:Running Time 885 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating: NR UPC: 097360788945 Manufacturer No: 078894 Amazon.com: One of America's most beloved TV actors, Dick Van Dyke, proved his longevity and acting chops in Diagnosis Murder, as Dr. Mark Sloan, chief of staff at L.A.'s Community General Hospital, as well as a consultant for the police department on confounding murders. The show was originally conceived as a Murder, She Wrote-with-boys, to tap into the late '80s and early '90s wave of spunky-senior shows (Golden Girls, Matlock et al.). But Van Dyke's versatility and charisma drew fans of all ages, and the first season shows his breadth as an actor. The mysteries range from the fairly typical (a beautiful patient surrounded by intrigue has amnesia--or does she?) to the gritty and offbeat (Sloan's son, played by Van Dyke's real son, Barry, gets too close to a gang of corrupt cops, with near-disastrous results). Through it all, Van Dyke's Sloan is avuncular, thoughtful, warm, and serious, but conveys enough wry humor and cheekiness to take considerable advantage of Van Dyke's comic timing. One episode in this season, "Inheritance of Death," features Van Dyke playing multiple roles--young, old, men, women--in a conniving family grasping for the inheritance of an ancient family member, and it's laugh-out-loud funny. Another standout in the cast is Scott Baio as Sloan's earnest sidekick, Dr. Jack Stewart. The boxed set features all 19 episodes of the first season, plus the episode of Jake and the Fatman which introduced the character of Dr. Mark Sloan. --A.T. Hurley Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Diagnosis Murder- The Complete 1st SeasonI love mysteries and this was good. I am planning on getting the 2nd and 3rd seasons also. Rating:  - Diagnosis Murder: Season OneDiagnosis Murder: Season One Good show, great actors (Dick Van Dyke), stories could be better written. Good thing, no really "bloody" scenes or anything entirely shocking. Just main character, Dr. Sloan, solving murders or other mysteries involving patients. Also like the interaction between Van Dyke and real-life son in show. Rating: - Diagnosis Murder - The Complete 1st SeasonThis was just wahaThis was just what I expectd. The video was great. The shipping was great and the series was the best Rating: - my reviewI purchased Diagnosis murder because my husband and I used to watch it on tv. I thought our kids might like to see it. It was a hit. Rating: - Awaiting MoreI really like Diagnosis murder, and I'm waiting for more! I personally prefer the style and content of the later seasons because everyone seems more at ease, but this is a great selection too! |
