Lurch (zombie faced Kris Marshal) goes to interview a guy and starts playing with his toy cannon and shoots a plug around the house breaking an ornament on their Christmas tree.
Later, the Chief Detective is goofing around more at another person's house and breaks some other decoration. That is what passes for cute on this show.
His wife is obsessed with having foster children because she is fallow, and spends half the episode with a big grin on her face as she chases around her foster kid who wants nothing to do with her.
Kelby is by far the most annoying character I have seen on any TV show in at least twenty years. He is like mini-me of Kris Marshall. He is always nervous, cannot speak in sentences like any normal person.
Kelby has the hots for the Superintendant, who is about 50 years old. He is around 22. Whenever she talks to him, he stammers, lisps, shakes, etc. As he tries to respond.
This is like something from the 1940s Abbott and Costello movies. Kelby stammering to talk like he is Lou Costello. Just so cheesy! She thinks he is a pathetic joke, and laughs about him with her friend from the Church.
The mystery is interesting enough, during the ten minutes of the show where anyone is working on it. Like often happens, the missing Virgin Mary and the fake ghost are tied together by the son in law who wants the house sold becuase he is deeply in debt. Everybody goofs into solving the crimes, and another happy ending for all.
