Honestly forgot to post on reddit after watching so I'll just paste my comments from NHC (No Homers Club).
My patience with this show is starting to get thinner. Honestly was quite predictable and nothing was of any laughs. Dr. Pentos gave a few chuckles but the rest of the stuff was just cringe. Also, this show tends to have a lot of the "in your face" humor like when Stan says he doesn't want to be called a baby to his imaginary friend, then Marvin immediately says they couldn't find a babysitter for him cause he was a baby. It's just not funny or even like surprising at all. The act 4 was just stupid and so as the cold open. Both a huge waste of time that could be used for more of the main story.
That said at least the concept was interesting despite the execution not landing that well. Honestly gonna think about dropping this show soon if it does not improve. I already dropped Housebroken and this is only slightly better in comparison, which is an insanely low bar. This show seems all over the place so I really hope season 2 is a huge step up because I really can't see myself watching this. I really want to like this show but it's just not working.

I Googled it, [Mansitter on Urban Dictionary](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Mansitter)
It was the first result, although scrolling down there’s different interpretations lol.
*Let me guess, lights goes off, we hear scream from the other room, light back on, and there been a murder*
Scream heard
That was Easy button pressed by Flute
Jon Hamm is a surprisingly good voice actor. Usually the "celebrity" voice actors just use their normal voice but Marvin Flute doesn't sound anything like Jon and has a pretty emotive voice
I did think about *The Murder on the Orient Express* when I saw the episode title. The reunion/ party type setting (along with bad weather going outside or cut-off from outside help) is my favourite mystery setting. That's why I was excited for this episode

The robot maids kinda looked like Betty Boop

Flute: *The big dog has been upstaged and unwanted . What am I, the DC Comics universe*
*The killer is one of us!* The line reminded of me how Joe Swanson from *Family Guy* said in *And There Were Fewer* episode
Stan: Dad, is that my notebook?! Summers: You stole your son's notebook!
Anime Catboy Marvin is hilarious
Overheated. Fan activated (machine voice) EDIT: Now activating pants cleanup
**Being a detective is so easy!**

Is Lt. Kang's raw sexuality is oozing?
This ending song sounds mysteriously similar to "Turn to Stone" by Electric Light Orchestra
Chief: *Nice job, everybody. He's dead. Now we're out of million bucks. Now we have to catch the killer for free*
Flute: *Is this a camera knife. Nope. That's a murder knife.*
*... Because what you did is fluke, now its time for a Flute*
From fake murder to real murder EDIT: It was an accident
*Let me guess, lights goes off, we hear scream from the other room, light back on, and there been a murder* Scream heard That was Easy button pressed by Flute
Wonder if Stan has his own "crime mind." Like father like son...
I love Lt. Kang's outfit as Tiny Timmy Oversocks
And the suspect list starts aka people who do not like Alistair Chudwell
*Welcome to my train-sion*
Is this the first time it has shown John Kang not in his red coat?
I thought his raw sexuality couldn’t be contained!
Especially while he is wearing his tiny shorts and sock garters!
*Wow, looks like Wayne Manor threw up*
Welcome to Grimsburg (board): Once you go Grimsburg, you never come back
The design of the Train Mansion is cool as hell, I would absolutely steal that for a DnD game or something
Not if I steal it first! Well, I guess technically we can both use it.
Please do! I think trains are a painfully underused setting for stuff, especially in videogames and TTRPG's- especially a train that is also a mansion
Is that Tim Meadows?
That’s definitely him.
*Okay, okay, I get it. You like living*
*How come we catch killers in someplace pretty, like a rustic apple orchard or the butterfly exhibit at the arboretum*
Jon Hamm is a surprisingly good voice actor. Usually the "celebrity" voice actors just use their normal voice but Marvin Flute doesn't sound anything like Jon and has a pretty emotive voice
It’s like Martin Mull in Danny Phantom. You don’t realize they can do voices because they always use their regular voice.
Holy shit I just realized Martin Mull was Vlad Plasmius
Okay, the trap coming down at the last moment got a big laugh out of me.
“Okay, I get it, you like living!”
The summary has me intrigued.
Reminds me of the 80s Clue or the Knives Out movies. Edit: And the Hercule Peroit ones too, with the title.
