Sometimes there needs to be adequate build-up to a murder in Murder, She Wrote.
But Something Foul in Flappieville seemed to spend a bit too long for the murder to spice up the story, and I felt the first half of Something Foul in Flappieville was spent too many technicalities. Kind of like the crawler for Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace which pondered the tax system of the empire and so on.
This episode could have been satirical and even dark, like Anthony Hopkins' movie Magic. Talking about dark roles, here we see Bryan Cranston (12 years before being transformed into high school chemistry teacher turned anti-hero Walter White) as an executive involved in greenlighting puppet shows.
