Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

Parker Lewis Diagnosis Murder never takes itself too seriously much to its delight, although it does deal with serious issues at time. I don't know if it's a case of Murder, She Wrote vs. Diagnosis Murder, but strangely I find it difficult being drawn into MSW even though it has a legion of fans. Anyway, whilst some episodes of Diagnosis Murder short circuit the plot line to get to the end and wrap things up before the end credits, it is fun and engaging to watch.The only thing...Diagnosis Murder was broadcast during the Bill Clinton Presidency, and you would have thought the Community General Hospital staff would be more reflective of society. Okay, okay, the actor playing Dr Sloan was of Dutch descent, Dr Bentley's a female African-American, and Dr Stewart is Italian. But I never saw any Indian or East Asian doctors at the Hospital, even though really they constitute a significant proportion of medical staff. Maybe if Diagnosis Murder was to have an episode dealing with murder and mayhem at a Spelling Bee or something like that, then maybe.

Davina Kelly-Moore Diagnosis Murder is one of the only programs i watch regularly on TV now. The way all of the main characters have something to do in each of the episodes makes it so unlike today's shows where they concentrate on 1 or 2 people per episode and everyone else is shoved to the side. The way mark's brain works is also so obscure that you never really know what he is thinking, and if you think you do, you are wrong.Diagnosis Murder has tackled a diverse range of topics, not just in the cases but in each of the characters personal lives. Everything from racism and adoption, to terrorists and technology.As for it being for old people? I am 24!! I don't think i can be classed as old yet.I just want to know when they will be releasing all 8 seasons on DVD (not NTSC) so that i can watch them all in order. They seem to be doing it with lots of other programs from the same era so can they hurry it up a bit!

walshyisthegreatest i know that the target audience is for the seniors, but i find diagnosis murder really engaging. as it is shown everyday on BBC 1 on British TV, i watch it as much as i can. an how old am i? I'm 16. that may be a surprise for some of you, but Dick Van Dyke and the whole cast bring the story to life in my own front room. the way that he an the rest of the crew show the murders and through the eyes of the murderer lets you see what they see, and makes you think what they think, which really helps the story flow from scene to scene. i didn't think that Dick Van Dyke had a future after "Mary Poppins" because i didn't hear about much of his work, but he has made a career in just this TV series. i hope it will come out on DVD, bring it out!!!

richteabiscuit Thankfully as a student I have been able to watch "Diagnosis Murder" for a number of years now. It is basically about a doctor who solves murders with the help of his LAPD son, a young doctor and a pathologist. DM provided 8 seasons of exceptional entertainment. What made it different from the many other cop shows and worth watching many times over was its cast and quality of writing. The main cast gave good performances and Dick Van Dyke's entertainer roots shone through with the use of magic, dance and humor. The best aspects of DM was the fast pace, witty scripts and of course the toe tapping score. Sadly it has been unfairly compared to "Murder, She Wrote". DM is far superior boasting more difficult mysteries to solve and more variety. Now it is gone TV is a worse place. Gone are the days of feelgood, family friendly cop shows. Now there is just depressing 'gritty' ones.
