Dick van Dyke - Diagnose Mord

Diagnosis murder is a brilliant tv show. Dick van dyke is at his best and just gets better with his son barry at his side this show just works. Dick van dyke plays mark sloan a doctor who also works for the police, his son is a police officer and they always end up helping each other it funny and good to watch. and jack glugman who played quincy has been in to episodes one of them was really great. The only thing is when they changed the camera work but the show is brilliant i suggest you give it a go and add your diagnosis of the show.

This is the first Diagnosis Murder TV movie, which spawned several TV sequels and a TV-series that lasted eight years. The plot consists of Detective Steve Sloan (Barry Van Dyke) believing that top manager Nick Osborn has killed trust-owner Russell Cord, in which hospital chief Dr. Mark Sloan (Dick Van Dyke) is convinced Osborn is innocent.

This movie has its fine moments with some good old fashion mystery suspense and detective fare. The opening scene was great and the music theme was haunting and catchy. The acting was pretty good - Cynthia Gibb, Stephen Caffrey and Brynn Thayer gave fine performances. Dick Van Dyke was his usual merry way and Barry Van Dyke was pretty stiff and stoic is this one.

It's a good intro to the other TV movies and TV-series, which consisted of many hits and misses in stories and acting.

Grade B

I'm totally not the target audience for these feature-length tv movies of the Diagnosis Murder series, but I watched them chronologically to celebrate Dick Van Dyke's week on Hot Toasty Rag. They're so cute! Now I can't wait to watch the full series.

Talk about a trustable doctor; I'd love to have Dick Van Dyke to fix my aches and pains. And watching these movies (or episodes) now in the 2020s knowing that he's still around and incredibly active, it's very cute. Hopefully he doesn't still roller skate to work, but we do know he still dances. In Diagnosis of Murder, he takes tap lessons from a patient in lieu of payment. In The House on Sycamore Street, he performs a rap song while teaching a class. What a doll.

I loved seeing Dick's mature, enthusiastic energy carry the supporting characters through the movie. The women's fashion and hair were also fun to see, like a time capsule from 1992. I couldn't stop thinking of Arthur Kennedy whenever William Atherton on the screen; I looked him up online to see if they were related. But speaking of related, how adorable is it that Dick and Barry Van Dyke play father and son on the show? I'm hooked now, and I'll watch as much Diagnosis Murder as I can in the future.

When I was little, probably 8 or so, this show was one of my favorites. Dick Van Dyke is funny, charming, and all around a good person to watch on the screen. This show was a bit suspenseful but with the cast it had, it made for a good prime time show.

I really liked cop shows when I was little, but this show was different in that it was just cops chasing after the bad guys. It was creative, non-traditional, and entertaining to watch. So, even though I'm sure their demographic was for the older generation, I must say that my family and I enjoyed watching it together.

My vote is that it was a great mystery show for people who don't want the gory, bloodiness of todays shows.

This is one of those shows which is only for the sort of person who takes great joy in watching a show where you can set your watch by the plot. If you loved Quincy, and went mad with joy when they repeated Dallas and the A-Team, then this is for you. Otherwise, it might be good for you to avoid this at all costs

Dick 'Yes, I can do a Cockney accent' Van Dyke plays a doctor (it's never actually made clear, at least in the episodes that I've watched, what he does whens he's a doctor). He seems to have been given his entire career off by a very caring boss who understands that its difficult to be a doctor and have a crime-fighting hobby at the same time.

Dick Van Dyke's moustache seems to play a separate character

The rest of the cast is basically constructed so that Dick can go about his caring-yet-stern crimefighting ways without it being too unbelievable. Mind you, with his 'son' in the program being the head of the LA homicide squad and his best friend being the county coroner, they really didn't put much effort into it

Like I said, if you like cheesy, over/underacted programs without much plotline, then this will be for you. Think of it as 'son of Quincy' and you'll have a pretty good idea

There's even an episode with Quincy in it, or so I'm told.......
