This show had limitless possibilities

Too bad they cancelled it so early. My favorite episode was when Detective Cosby had a lottery ticket and was sitting behind that bulletproof glass, and he was talking to the guy who wanted to kill him, and the guy who wanted to kill him thought he could shoot him, and then Det. Cos kept ragging him on, and then the guy tried to shoot him! but the glass was there. Then the cops came and nabbed him.

Another episode featured Detective Cosby eating some hoagies, but his wife told him not to because he had to watch hi s diet, so the Cos hid it underneath his sweatshirt and ate it in the bathroom. Excellent show!

This was a great show! Why was it taken off the air?

Mystery shows are always good. This show was one of the best. Just as Diagnosis Murder, and Murder She Wrote kept you guessing, so did this series. It had a great ensemble cast, with Bill Cosby in the lead. Cosby is good in anything he does, and this is no exception. I had heard when it went off the air, that someone had told Cosby that he should never have made a mystery series?!? Shame on them! Just like all the great crime/mystery dramas of the 70's, if they brought it back tomorrow, I'd definitely watch it, just as I had watched every episode back then. Bravo to all the cast on a great ensemble, and definitely an all-around great show!

A very good TV serial

A great movie with a series of murders, a subtle sense of humor and some great acting. It of course lacks great locations, any great cinematography or anything. But is is made up by a tight screen play and good acting. No wonder this came as a TV series because when you watch the movie you get a feeling of watching a TV serial.

But I would recommend it for any intelligent viewer who likes intelligent movies
