Alles außer Mord (Everything but Murder) was a German crime television series which aired on the TV station ProSieben between 1993 and 1995. 14 episodes were produced. The series features various criminal cases of determined private investigator Uli Fichte (Dieter Landuris), who tells his clients: "I do everything - except murder". The series was an idea of Michael Baier.
The unstable p.i. lives in an old industrial building in the port of Hamburg and drives an old Mercedes-Benz. His social entourage is made up of psychologist Dr. Frieder Tamm, his wife Melanie, his two sons, and the journalist Horst Weinstein. In spite of his personal motto Fichte always ends up dealing with murder cases, even though at the beginning of each episode these cases appear innocent and straightforward.
Because the series' ratings were low during its original run, despite receiving positive reviews, ProSieben produced few episodes. Between 1993 and 1995 three seasons with a combined total of 14 episodes were made. The series was cancelled in 1996.
A DVD boxset with all 14 episodes on 7 DVD's was published in 2008.
