It was one of my usual mash-up sketches where the title simply presented itself to me. I was a fan of the show and I was very into Sherlock Holmes stories at the time. I think I blended the two worlds very well, although DeFazio does stand around a lot without anything to say. And it was back in the days where my sketches were long, wringing every last drop out of the premise. It's very 70s oriented, with references to Plato's Retreat and such. It's one of the few times I used a cuss word in a sketch, just because the actual expression had to be used for the joke to work. Anyway...
RIP, Penny Marshall.
