@jack-dodds.......... watching an episode of Columbo can be like enjoying a particularly well prepared meal ....one in which no element has been overlooked

I do think they jumped the shark a bit when they tried to lose the hound in favor of a large brown cat (Columbo and the Unarmed Man).....not quite as jarring as Mr Monk loosing Bitty Schram 😒 .......but unsettling nonetheless

@john-barry Well the casting change to mountain lion is obviously disarming to Columbo and studio extra David White (aka Larry Tate).  The drivers are unmoved by it ....they have seen it all before.

Same same.....Doctor Bombay, Agnes M. and Uncle Maurice too.  Boy oh boy...old Agarn just went from strength to strength in show biz didn't he?  Chimp to soldier....versatility personified.

I`ll try to nail down an answer tomorrow.....in the meantime we should ask Frank if his look of consternation has anything to do with the outsized FG

Lt. Frank, being a city slicker and Young Frankenstein movie fan, is trying to figure out if you pronounce Bossy's breed as Holsteen or Holstine.  Meanwhile Wimpy is busy figuring out how many burger patties she would yield.

@geoff-jowett ......the slimier the the perp acted,early on in the episode,the more you were tempted to pop some corn,and take the phone off the hook Face  

Peter Falk as Lt Columbo

Ain't it da truth; ain't it da truth!! We have the entire Columbo series and special movies on DVD and watch them, at least, once a year. He ALWAYS got the perp, slimy or not. Well, except one time and one time only, the killer was allowed to skate.

Would that be Nancy Kerrigan or Tonya Harding ? 

Umm, oh wait neither one of them was a killer they just wielded a baseball bat...

@perrone1 ......Thanks Tony....S05 Ep01 

....it`s a shame they couldn`t have written a few lines for the Rigby girl,but the premise sounds interesting.....I can envision the glint in Frank`s eye as he has to justify his decision......it`s on-tap for this evening`s view-a-thon

lucky

JB,

How long did it take you to think about putting that sentence or phrase in the glint in his eye now which it would it be the real one or the glass one come on now you should know better than that grow up LOL 

Steve

My talk-to-text feature is not working very well I apologize but I think you get my drift... Okay just one more thing....

Tonya should have forgot about the bat and focused on her triple axel.  The chick had no class.....should have gone straight to full contact roller derby as a teen.
