An autopsy technician doing double duty as a disc jockey, an elevator that opens in the old west, a gangster that thinks he's in a Three Stooges film before flying over an embankment, and a joke telling Frank Drebbin. It's the end of the line for at least six years for this character, cancel after only six short episodes, even with critical acclaim. The series getting multiple Emmy nominations shows historically the bad decision of the network to get rid of it so quickly.
The talented Claudette Nevins plays a female mobster who has no qualms in poisoning her enemies, and is unintriguing villainous from the get-go. One of the funniest moments ( and certainly his series highlight) has police lab technician Al Williams showing a little girl what happens when he puts her doll in the trash compactor. In the continuing gag of famous people playing themselves seeing William Duell, city shoe shine boy and police informant, Dick Clark reveals to the world his anti-aging secrets, one of the best moments in the series. The stage is set for the biggest laugh when Nielsen breaks into "A Lot of Livin to Do" from "Bye Bye Birdie", a metaphor for saying au weidesein to the series.
