Food Fight

Silly, and if not the worst episode in the series, it's close.

This episode is almost a complete reunion for Garry Marshall's television productions. Actors from Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, and Mork & Mindy all appear. The tone of the episode matches the tones found in those shows. It's campy and silly, and thus if that's your thing, quite fun! I love all of the early episodes of Diagnosis: Murder, but I find the tone shifts greatly by the third season into something much darker. Dick Van Dyke wasn't a fan of this shift and worked for a change in the show. There are a few bright spots in it this dark period however, including this episode! It's one we find ourselves often coming back to when we feel like watching something light.

Some other great, light, episodes of Diagnosis: Murder include:

• Comedy is Murder
• Sleeping Murder
• A Mime is a Terrible Thing to Waste
• Discards
• A Resting Place

The television films that came out before the tv show began are also quite good :)
