***SPOILERS*** Those who have seen this episode will get the review title, right away. That part needs no explanation. The Publisher whose memorial was published in the paper was an expensive dirtbag, that's for sure. The other reviewer called it right about it being a comedy/drama, but, there were a couple of really hot babes, too. The dead snake's wife, and the snake killer's wife - both were babes. THAT is, in my opinion is one of the reasons for this show's existence. To sell whatever the sponsors are marketing by way of the seriously good looking girls. For the women who watch this program, there was Edd Byrnes (Kookie). As far as the killer went, I figured that he was just bent enough to do it, but making such a clean job of it? That's where I was fooled. See, I thought that a guy like that would just love to break the guy's neck; wrong-o. The old lady who set it up? I liked her. She had an excellent reason, and all she has to do is deny any involvement beyond telling blondie's knuckleheaded huz that she was sure she was fooling around on him. sad result, but, well tough toenails, you know??

The plot was tight, the action as well as the story moved quickly, babes, and a clean ending that was sweet justice; I'm giving this one a 9.

Is it a joke?
searchanddestroy-130 October 2015
A man receives a note that indicates that he is dead. So the first thing is to find what's really going on around him to explain such a joke. Well, from the start, this story doesn't sound like a crime flick but instead a sort of comedy drama. So you can without problem miss this if anything prevents to watch it. I would tell it's a cool tale, nothing more. Some mystery, nearly no action at all, with still a little noir elements. I admit although that the In Memoriam trick are rather amusing and inventive too.

Try not to fall asleep, as I nearly did.

Directed by Dick Sale, the maker of the pilot.
