          • Trivia
            The name of the Detective, Manacek, seems to be a combination of Mannix (1967) , who is a private investigator, and Banacek (1972) . But, the entire episode is a spoof of the series Banacek (1972) which was about an independent insurance investigator who is wealthy and a suave ladies man that solves intricate cases of stolen items.

            They pronounce "Joan" (Miró) like the name "Juan". In this case the letter jay is pronounced like English speakers pronounces it.

            Manacek: Sorry, I can only solve impossible crimes if I'm seducing an amazing woman. It's my process.

          Fun send-up of seventies detective shows

          This is probably my favorite episode of what has been a weak season. Sure, old detective shows might not be the most relevant thing to parody, but I applaud the writers for trying something different. The genre jokes are amusing from the leisurely opening credits gag to Banacek's constantly misogynistic, but surprisingly witty come-on jokes. In fact, the jokes all around are pretty funny here.
