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.

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.

Personally I love mysteries based on studio sets, so I enjoyed this for its hammy acting, humorous lines, and diva actors. Its also an amusing and interest inside look of TV film world.
