ReRushed Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 (edited) A Friend in Deed was on MeTV last night. It's an immensely entertaining episode. I don't think Columbo's tactics would hold up in the real world, but, boy oh boy, they sure make for entertaining television. Columbo is one of the great all-time good guys. Love, love. love this show.I love the ending of that one. It's probably in my top 5 "gotcha" moments.Yes. It's one of the most satisfying "gotcha" moments in the entire series. I like how he was looking out for the burglar. "Hey, this isn't even my apartment!" What a great show. Again, Columbo, one of the greatest good guys ever.

The Cat 3 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I just saw "Troubled Wayers" with Robert Vaughn. It takes place on a cruise ship. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat 3 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 My sleep schedule is all mixed up and I'm up all night and Columbo comes on ME channel at 3 o'clock every morning, so I've caught quite a few lately. Such a great show. I noticed that another of my favourite shows, "Mink", patterned itself beautiful after it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Your_Lion Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 After watching Prescription: Murder a few weeks back, I decided to just keep going, watching them in order. Since then, I've watched Ransom for a Dead Man, Murder By the Book, Death Lends a Hand, Dead Weight, Suitable for Framing and Lady in Waiting. Just getting set to watch Short Fuse and Blueprint for Murder, back to back 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just getting set to watch Short Fuse and Blueprint for Murder, back to back Death Lends A Hand is underrated. One of the best of the early crop for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 A Deadly State of Mind (1975) George Hamilton is easy to hate as the murderous psychiatrist. And the trap Columbo sets at the end is priceless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 "An Exercise in Fatality" on tap this evening. Robert Wagner plays a gym owner trying to get away with murder. What he fails to realize is that his short-shorts are the real crime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the funniest scenes in Columbo for me. Then when he tells her he's a Cop, she figures he must be "undercover" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Suitable for Framing was on MeTV last night. Another fun episode where the plausibility of the plot is rescued by great acting and a wonderful twist. Falk always pulls it off. Damn, I love this show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 The Lad is really into Columbo these days. As a result, we've been on a marathon that has included these episodes: "By Dawn's Early Light" - A cannon ("Big Thunder") mysteriously explodes, killing a visiting dignitary, all because a cadet left an oily rag in the barrel. Or did he...? "Forgotten Lady" - With his wife's career fading, an aged actresses' husband commits suicide. Or was it murder...? "Identity Crisis" - A CIA agent kills his confederate and covers it up perfectly. Well...almost! So fun watching these with my son! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great episode! Huge fan. I just watched Any Old Port IN a Storm for the 345,199th time. Nimoy was an excellent bad guy!

Your_Lion Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 I just watched Any Old Port IN a Storm for the 345,199th time. I just watch Any Old Port in a Storm, too :cheers: According to Peter Falk, this was his favourite Columbo, mainly because he had such a good time working with Donald Pleasence. I can't help wondering if Columbo and the killer being so friendly in this one was inspired by how well the actors were getting on in real life. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
