With the beloved series finished, audiences only had a couple of more opportunities to watch the cast of Diagnosis Murder reunited. Town Without Pity was a little dark, and ironically didn't take place in a hospital, but Without Warning was exactly what you'd expect. It's another medical emergency, a mystery, and at the end of the day it's business as usual. There aren't any tearful goodbyes, so it makes you wonder if more tv features were planned but never green-lighted.
Fans of Barry Van Dyke's character will love this tv flick, since he's given a cute relationship with journalist Kimberly Quinn. The main plot is, of course, a serious medical problem, but a good chunk of the movie is romance. While Barry tries to keep Kimberly from reporting on the hospital's issues, his father Dick has to figure out what the medical issue is and exactly how contagious it is. A group of migrant workers have come down with an unusual skin condition, and since the problem has spread from Mexico to the United States, can Dr. Sloane and his team cure it or stop it from spreading around the world? All in all, this last Diagnosis Murder movie is very entertaining, since it features everything. Mystery, time-sensitive problems, romance, long-standing friendship, and family loyalty. It's no wonder fans kept watching the movies after the series ended.
