John Larroquette, who delivered MANY funny lines in Night Court, gets to play the role of a criminal attorney in this movie (and series) and gets quite a few clever lines. Nothing was quite laugh out loud, but many were "look at each other and smile".
Here he starts out on a jury and decides the defendant is not guilty, or at least he's not sure she's guilty. In a departure from most mysteries of the type, the victim isn't dead! Just in a coma, with his young wife on trial for attempted murder, not murder.
In a classic Perry Mason or Agatha Christie style plot, there are suspects aplenty, and McBride has to wade through them all with an unusual device of having him "present" during earlier scenes that are being described to him.
Quite entertaining. We saw SOME of these years ago, but not all. So I was happy to see them all shown in a row earlier this week on Hallmark Mysteries.
