just a stilted rip off of the infinitely good murder and she write and it be absolutely amazing that this poorly write garbage last for a full eight year . i be sure most of the people who watch this unentertaining crap be in their sixty and seventy and just tune in because they have nothing well to do and or simply remember it star from the old dick van dyke show . van dyke and who only have a decent career in the 1960s and never be much of an actor at all ( by his own admission ) and he be already far too old to play a doctor when the series begin in 1993. he look absolutely ancient a a result of year of chain smoking and heavy drinking . his talentless real life son barry and a wooden actor who have rarely be in anything that do not involve his father and play his son in the series .
