great episode

These old detective shows can really hit the spot and Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd had good chemistry. It is also interesting to see the eighties time capsule. Unfortunately this series proved to be hit or miss; however, this episode I liked a lot.

I liked this episode because there was less bickering. Who wants to watch people argue? It becomes so unpleasant. There is an especially good scene with Maddie interviewing an illusionist as part of the investigation. It just felt so wholesome.

I also appreciate the discussions that David and Maddie had regarding their religious beliefs and how they were respectful of their differences.
