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

Great TV Series and venue for talents of Dick Van Dyke. Plots are interesting and not boiler plate, just enough humor to enhance the plot. I plan to buy each season as it becomes available.

I have never seen Dick Van Dyke in a bad role. Some are better than others, but he always plays the role perfectly. In Diagnosis Murder, he plays a doctor who helps solve crimes. Van Dyke's real-life son, Barry, plays his television son, who is a policeman. This is a fun series and the cast is very nearly perfect. In the third season, Jack is gone and Jessie shows up, but both are likeable and so you don't mind. This is a good crime story for people who aren't into (or just want a break from) ... Read More

This Series was awesome. I enjoyed every minute of it. Dick Van Dyke aka "Dr. Mark Sloane is just too cool.
