Great Leverage Homage to Jim/Ellery

I just caught a rerun of "Leverage" starring Jim Hutton's son, Timothy. It's "Leverage" episode "The 10 Li'l Grifters Job," season 4, ep. 2.

The episode features a masquerade mystery murder gala where each person dresses as a well-known detective.

Timothy's character, Nathan Ford, dresses up as Ellery Queen and tells his colleague, "the best detective who ever lived."

Great homage to a great tv detective by his real-life son.

It's the only episode of Leverage I've seen, and I enjoyed that part.

I liked the other costumes, too. The one woman was dressed as Irene Adler (from one of the best Sherlock Holmes stories ever written).

Two other characters came as Encyclopedia Brown and his sidekick Sally. Seeing them brought back fond memories of reading those books when I was a kid.
