Murder 101: If Wishes Were Horses

I really like Dick Van Dyke and enjoyed watching him in the many roles I've seen him in over the years. He and his son Barry in Diagnosis Murder were very good and are joined with Barry's son/Dick's grandson/s again for regular appearances for this later series.

I saw this was on TV and thought I'd give it a try, assuming it would be similar to D. M. However, although it did seem to be I just could not concentrate on the storyline enough to keep track of what was going on because of the weird, constant background music. It is completely at odds with what is going on, on screen, most of the time and soon becomes really irritating. Such a shame because I think I would have otherwise have really liked watching this.

Update; having now watched a few of these as they're on regularly at time of reviewing, the music is still quite annoying and distracting but I have managed to enjoy them more after a few tries so upped by a star.
