    art mystery

    My favorite part about it was that the main mystery wasn't a murder; no one seems to realize that crimes don't require killing these days. other than that, it was your usual hallmark fare, except the cops weren't as stupid as they are usually made out to be.

    Jane Doe: Eye of the Beholder

    6/10 - not nearly as good as some of the other Jane Doe mysteries

    Actually one of the better episodes

    I had to chuckle at the previous review of this - obviously, the reviewer isn't familiar with this series and therefore can't possibly know that this is one of the better entries. Cathy Davis (Lea Thompson)(Jane Doe in her role as a CSA agent) is called by Darnell (Joe Penny) to help investigate the theft of a $150 million Vermeer painting at a Los Angeles museum, which previously belonged to a Jewish family and was taken by the Nazis. The daughter in the family, the only survivor and now quite elderly, has sold the painting to the museum. Discovering what happened to the original involves an insurance agent (Elaine Hendrix), an art collector (Phil Casnoff) and a waitress (Julianna McCarthy), a neo-Nazi (Mark Rolston) and a few others. The plot isn't bad, though elements of it can be figured out.

    The good thing about this episode is that there is very little of Cathy's banal family life - the fewer scenes at home, the better. If the series is to continue, let's hope that's a trend.

    Rip-off

    The majority of this storyline has been copied from a MGM movie.

    Please watch the remake of The Thomas Crown affair to understand just how lazy the writers have been in copying elements then substituting in poor dialogue.

    Disgraceful that writers get away with this!

    For the record I do not watch the show but it was left on between channel flicking when I started to notice mild references which caught my attention. They even mention Piece Brosnan.

    Truly cringe worthy, please watch TTCA to fully appreciate my annoyance.
