Tracey Gold stars as undercover agent Amy in this nested/backdoor pilot episode of Diagnosis Murder. Tracey gets lots of screen time in this episode, one which shows her character Amy as almost being Lethal Weaponish in her approach to taking down the bad guys. It's a shame this never led to a series, but who knows maybe it can one day. This episode was broadcast a week before the 1996 US presidential election.

Came here to confirm that this was a pilot for some proposed show and I was right. Sorry, but no one is ever going to believe that Tracey Gold is a cop. She's also, unfortunately, not much of an actress. Maybe it was from years of watching Will and Grace, but I also could not buy Eric McCormack as a terrorist leader. I kept expecting Jack to pop out of a closet and everyone to break into a song and dance number. The story wasn't so bad, although it got kind of tiresome, and Amy kept telling everyone on the police force what to do like she was Yoda. My favorite was the scene where she was escaping from the warehouse before it blew up; she ran like she had two wooden legs and rolled out the door like a sack of laundry. Acting was pathetic overall.
