Critic Reviews

Robert P. Laurence

Jul 28, 2014

Season 1 Review: The opener is a dandy little puzzler, opening with what appears to be a certain suicide in view of a crowd. [30 Nov 1987, p.D-9]

Clifford Terry

Jul 28, 2014

Season 1 Review: Bosley, usually competent, is wasted in the kind of chubby, cozy Irish-American role that Frank McHugh played in the '30s. [30 Nov 1987, p.6]
