It's not unusual for the medical community to encounter law enforcement over a hospital bed, but there's something about the Los Angeles Community Hospital and its Chief of Internal Medicine Dr. Mark Sloan (Dick Van Dyke) that seem to attract suspicious cases. Far from a "treat them and street them" attitude, Dr. Mark Sloan is a compassionate and understanding doctor whose probing questions and natural curiosity repeatedly uncover mysterious circumstances and details that he invariably feels compelled to investigate. Of course the proper authorities (in the form of his son, police officer Steve Sloan, played by Van Dyke's real-life son Barry Van Dyke) are notified, but, like any good doctor, Dr. Sloan relies on the expertise of his own staff. Thus fellow Doctor Jack Stewart (Scott Baio), hospital pathologist Amanda Bentley (Victoria Rowell), and Dr. Sloan's secretary Delores (Delores Hall) are often embroiled in investigative work that results in an understaffed hospital and a distraught hospital administrator (Michael Tucci). From maternity hospitals selling babies on the black market to dishonest tax lawyers, murderous hospital inspectors, egocentric surgery patients, and dating services whose dates are the absolute end-all, Dr. Sloan and his crew can be counted upon to pursue and solve an abundance of mysteries--and maybe even see a patient or two in the process. Guest stars include Betty White and Bo Jackson. While not one of Van Dyke's best television series, Diagnosis Murder will appeal to Dick Van Dyke aficionados and murder mystery fans alike. --Tami Horiuchi

GREAT SHOW
This is one of the best doctor-murder shows of all time. In this season watch Dr. Sloane, go through car troubles and getting his rental car blown up, watch Amanda lose all of her money and Jack trying to get it back for her (and actually does!!!!), Dr. Sloane get accused of murder, and also get locked in a Emergency Room with happy gas, and arrest a girl for muurder, going to court TWICE, without double jepordy. This show is a down heart, good show.Although it is mainly about murders and the sick, Dick Van Dykes character will make you laugh. The show stars Dick Van Dyke (Dr. Mark Sloane), Barry Van Dyke (Lt. Steve Sloane), Scott Baio (Dr. Jack Stewart) and Victoria Rowell (Amanda Bentley) Hope this review was helpfull!!!!

DM Second Season
It was fun to see the episodes in their entirety and see the missing scenes that aren't shown on reruns. Some stories even make more sense. I hope they continue releasing seasons three thru eight and the movies as well, I'll buy them all!!!
