After watching this I'm wondering how this series got a second season.

This storyline is about the smalltown author of a gossipy tell-all being involved in murder. Was she the intended victim?

The plot is extremely far-fetched and full of holes. The story plods along and is neatly wrapped up in the last two minutes.

Matlock explains to the author that his job isn't to prove who committed murder, only to cast doubt in the minds of jurors as to the guilt of the defenant.

That is how the criminal justice system is gamed by attorneys and, as such, leaves viewers frustrated.

It's good to see such a fine job by the late Stanley Kamel. Andy Griffith phones it in, again.
