Since I posted my comments that we never had a chance to figure
out WKLP, I've seen a couple of responses from people more observant
than I, pointing out various clues that it  was Leland.  And yet, I
still feel my original point holds. In retrospect, of course, there were
some clues. Yet there were just as many clues pointing, say, to Harry S.
Truman as to Pa Palmer. In the very best mystery stories, when you find
out who the killer is, you think, "Of course! I should have known it all
along." Maybe it's just me, but I really didn't have that reaction.
Someone has pointed out that, when people voted on who they
thought killed Laura, Leland was the clear winner. It seems to me this
is more because that would fit in more with the atmosphere of the show
than because there were clear clues to his existance.
This really isn't meant as a criticism of the show; I thought it
was, on the whole, unutterably brilliant. (Although it really fizzled
out, lately.) What I am saying is that its brilliance was not as a
mystery. 
Of course, this could just be sour grapes, since I had a few
cases of doughnuts riding on the Sheriff.
