OK, I think this episode was better than the other 1940's related one. It borrowed heavily from His Girl Friday at the very beginning (lots of snappy dialogue and 1940's slang) but as the episode progressed it got better. There was lots of music that made me homesick for Homefront, one being Ac-cent-u-ate the positive. Also, the main female character who was murdered was a brunette and had a rivalry with a blonde co-worker, it kind of reminded me of the Linda/Judy rivalry.
When they re-run it I think it's worth a look.
