Quite liked this episode

It was interesting seeing Marion Ross (Mrs Cunningham from Happy Days) doing a role.

Here she is a woman who is confusing fantasy with reality - as a lot of characters through their court has done in the past of course.

I'm very surprised this episode does not have any reviews. That's basically why I am doing this. Firstly the courtroom is being filmed for a broadcast. And then Mrs Daly - Ross - appears in the courtroom with a grenade, wanting to get her husband out off jail, except it's really a soap opera character!

The funniest part is Bull doing a rendition of Al Jolson's Mammy, it made me lol.

Did you know

Trivia
Mrs Daley mentions The Fonz as well as other TV characters. Mrs. Daley was played by Marion Ross who co-starred in Happy Days (1974).

Goofs
When the videotaped Harry is speaking to Mrs. Daley, it seems far-fetched that he would have been able to accurately anticipate her responses, the questions that she would ask and the exact length of each exchange.

Quotes
Judge Harry T. Stone: What'd you find out?
Mac Robinson: Well, we checked the prisons, and there's nobody by the name of Adam Daley.
Rosalind 'Roz' Russell: Not only that, but records show she was married to a Ben Daley in 1952.
Judge Harry T. Stone: Ben? Mrs. Daley?
Mrs. Daley: Yes?
Judge Harry T. Stone: The records seem to indicate that your husband's name is Ben.
Mrs. Daley: That's because he changed his name to Adam Logan when he went undercover with the Agency.
Mrs. Daley: The Agency? You mean like the C.I.A.?
Judge Harry T. Stone: Oh, my goodness, no! The World Security Agency!
Rosalind 'Roz' Russell: Wait a minute. Is this the same Adam Daley being framed by Tommy Johnson for the murder of Amy Delmonico?
Mrs. Daley: [ecstatic] *Yes*!
Judge Harry T. Stone: Roz, have you been keeping up with this case?
Rosalind 'Roz' Russell: Sure. Every day at two o'clock. "The Days of Passion" on Channel Five.
Mrs. Daley: And that little tramp, Jessica! She knows all about it and she won't say a word!
Rosalind 'Roz' Russell: Why should she? She's shacking up with Ronnie Delmonico, and she knows what side her bread is buttered on!
Judge Harry T. Stone: [aside to Mac] That's a soap opera!
Mac Robinson: I think somebody's lost their "vertical hold."
