So the murder this week was...Lt. Kang?! And he's an immortal. He wasn't a ghost, he just drank some potions. I liked the plot of Marvin getting younger. 

I can't believe they saved Kid Flute bonding with Stan until the last ten minutes.

I'm not sure how many people are watching this show, but I've really been enjoying it this season. I think it's my favorite Sunday night non-"Simpsons" animated show in a while. It seems to be pitched more solidly at adults, and I like how surprisingly violent it gets at times too. 

The humor for some reason reminds me of the old show "Sledge Hammer!", where you have a lead character who is sometimes good at his job but also often a morally disreputable character.  And I like how they've incorporated all these bizarre elements to a show that's ostensibly taking place in the "real" world- the cyborg police officer, the woman who was raised by bears, the lawyer who time-traveled somehow from the 1980s, and now the stuff in this episode with the immortality and the growing-younger potion.

Also, I think it's hilarious that there's a character voiced by Rosie Perez who they've designed to look exactly like her.
