Diagnosis Murder (TV Series) Baby Boom (1998) User Reviews

Father's Day

[safenoe · 7/10 · 2 December 2023]

Anne Lockhart from the famous Lockhart acting dynasty, guest stars as a nurse in Baby Boom, six years after she played a disco patron in Basic Instinct. Anyone here Sam McMurray plays Bob Bare, who holds several pregnant hostage because he's convinced one of them was artificially inseminated with his sperm. All credit to the writer who came up with this one. Anyway, I enjoy watching Diagnosis Murder because it really doesn't demand much and yet to can enjoy it for what it is unlike gritty Scandinavian detective dramas where you have to watch every subtitle or else you'll lose the plot all over again.

Craig Yahata gets a mention in this episode, and that's the name of an associate producer of this series.

Bob Bare is wired with dynamite, and holds 4 pregnant women hostage until he finds which one of them holds his artificially-inseminated baby. The solution to getting the women released is obvious. Get a judge to issue an order that after the births, all the babies DNA be compared to Bare's DNA. This is the only way to tell that the baby wasn't the husbands sperm even if Bare's sperm was there too. If Bare was given a copy of the judge's order, even he would see that this is the only way anyone can be sure that one of the baby's is his sperm. I think that even in a normal situation, a man would have the right to see if it is his baby
