Plot hole: There were 3 gunshots. 1 from Magnum, 1 from the killer and 1 from the victim. Yet they arrest Magnum with checking the bullet striations. He would be declared innocent almost immediately. (00:17:00)

Trivia: The song Angela Lansbury sings, "Little Yellow Bird," when she plays musical hall performer Emma, is the same song she sang in the 1945 film The Picture of Dorian Gray, when she played music hall performer Sybil Vane.
Question: Why did later seasons have many of the episodes take place in New York?
Answer: The storyline was that Jessica was teaching classes in New York. However, after so many seasons and as ratings declined, it was probably to freshen up the series with a different locale, introduce new characters, and have a greater variety of situations in which Jessica could solve murders. It was already unbelievable that so many people could be murdered in the small town of Cabot Cove. Being in a large city like New York makes it a tiny bit more plausible.
