Tread Perilously -- Murder, She Wrote: We're Off To Kill The Wizard

Tread Perilously's Patreon request month continues with an episode of Murder, She Wrote called "We're Off to Kill the Wizard." Jessica Fletcher's quick trip to Chicago is disrupted when a local amusement park impresario invites her and her relatives to a preview of a new horror-infused theme park. But his real objective is to convince her to license her work out for a new venture. When he turns up dead, though, plenty of the people around him look good for the crime and Jessica's quick visit turns into a whole investigation as she attempts to figure out how the park owner was murdered in a locked room no one could enter or exit. Both Erik and Justin are glad to be in the cozy confines of Jessica's world. The pair are also surprised by the nature of a first season Murder, She Wrote. Sprouted potatoes become a new adversary. Justin admits he is mainlining Columbo during the week. A discussion of Blake's 7 breaks out. Justin guesses why this week's Patron chose this particular episode; it might have something to do with a certain child guest star. Erik can't unsee Burbank playing Chicago throughout the episode. Geography Corner leads to Joe Mantenga's pizza place. Guest actor George DiCenzo gets his flowers, as does Kim Darby. Fast food burger rankings are made and a wild Les Nessman appears.
