You\'re right about these episodes written by Elspeth Eric.. some of them are quite enjoyable and deeply psychological, like the one about the Red Frisbee. However I just listened to \"The Deadly Hour\" and I confess that I simply do not understand the ending. 

A Very Old Man
Three Women
The Deadly Hour
The Phantom Lullaby
The Secret Doctrine
Mind Over Matthew
The Black Room
Death is So Trivial
The Stuff of Dreams
The Man Must Die

...and that\'s just a sampling of Elspeth Eric scripts from the first 250 episodes. Are folks really saying they don\'t like any of those? These have been some of my favorite episodes. The more I listen to the show, the more I look forward to E.G. announcing her name in the beginning. You know you\'re getting something unique, just like you know you\'re getting some classic crime-drama writing from Sam Dann.
