Best of Patrick McGoohan in Columbo Part 2 | Compilation | Columbo

[@Alienmojo]

I just love that McGoohan says "In that case, I'll be seeing you." That had to be a reference to his PRISONER character. 'Be seeing you,' was his catchphrase.

[@rf159a]

I like that McGoohan didn't want to be James Bond. He didn't like the womanizing and having to carry a gun. He didn't like those clichés. Just like Columbo said in a couple of episodes, "I hate guns."

[@SimBir08]

Columbo taught me one important lesson in life. If you have somebody over a barrel and you're going to expose them "don't f'in tell them" You'll live longer.

[@donarthiazi2443]

McGoohan and Culp were the absolute best Columbo villains. With an honorable mention to Jack Cassidy of course

[@psi10001]

Donald Pleasance

[@MrMferg240]

the ROBERT CONRAD episode with him playing ''MILO JANUS'; in the episode titled ''an exercise in fatality'' was a great role for CONRAD as the villan. also GEORGE HAMILTON had some excellent villain roles.

[@donaldsaigh8785]

Conrad was great as Milo.

[@mikebasil4832]

Ever since they started with special guest stars like Jack Cassidy, Gene Barry and Lee Grant, the show was assured some most worthy talent alongside Peter Falk. Patrick McGoohan and Leslie Nielsen were two of the first that I got to see in Columbo.

[@mikehill584]

Robert Vaughn, don't forget him!!!

[@Romulan2469]

I just hope Hollywood doesn't make a new prequel or sequel or reboot of Columbo as a movie or tv show. Shows that are timeless classics like this can never be duplicated and should never be duplicated.

[@shannonchavez3420]

I agree

[@anthonyince8220]

@@Romulan2469 it would never happen no one can play Columbo like Peter Falk that's like saying you're going to do a Friday movie for 2025 without pop just would never work

[@Romulan2469]

@@anthonyince8220 It hasn't stopped Hollywood before. I agree that it would be a complete flop but sometimes greedy execs will milk a cash cow for all its worth. I wouldn't even put it past them to do a stand in for Falk and some CGI of Falk's face over the stand in with a voiceover.

[@Romulan2469]

@@anthonyince8220 To be honest I think many other actors could have played Columbo but obviously bringing their own creativity to the character but yes once an established actor has been in the role for such a long time then the actor becomes synonymous with the character. Other actors would only have worked if Falk had not played the character so often. A good example of what I am talking about is the James Bond character. It works well when they refresh the actors playing him but if they had stuck with the same actor over a prolonged time it becomes harder for the audience to accept a change of actor even if he or she is a good one.

[@witzelasper2821]

Any kind of a prequel, remake or anything for that matter would be blasphemy

[@RyanSpargo]

One of my favorite lines from the mortician episode is when they're sharing those barbs of competition, and Columbo has walked past the lobby. McGoohan throws that last line of, "Ashes! Ashes!" and then says "Have you gone??"

[@dwmadroxxide5090]

Columbo got me into other Macgoohan shows like the Prisoner and Danger Man. The man was a legend

[@queenandi5834]

Peter Falk, Patrick McGoohan and Leslie Nielsen. Three golden boys together with golden girl Rue McClanahan. McGoohan with that characteristic voice and his recognizable timbre. Beautiful ul to listen to.

[@universalassociates6857]

Columbo episodes are like that pot roast dinner with all the fixings that your Mom prepared back in the day. You knew it was going to be delicious; you just needed to wait patiently as all the ingredients were cooking.

[@RADIUMGLASS]

I remember watching Ashes to Ashes the night it aired. I believe it was October 1998. As far as the piece of shrapnel in the urn, I once worked in a crematorium and there would be things that would get left behind from other cremations. You would think it was swept out good when it wasn't. When the pulverized bone was swept out of the crematorium retort AKA chamber it would go into a metal box and we would run a magnet through it looking for any type of metal and then it would go into the processor. The processor had a blade in it which resembled a mini lawn mower blade. The whole purpose of running a magnet through the box was to catch any metal because any shrapnel could make the blade dull. This one may not have held up in court.

[@logicalchaos9008]

My boss was on me about a poorly loaded trailer that I took over halfway. He gave me a work write. My response? " Pardon my language, but this is poppycock." It was worth the infraction just to use "poppycock" properly in a sentence.

[@silvereagle2061]

She was on an episode of "The Prisoner" but we only saw her from behind.

[@BedsitBob]

Pagers don't "handshake" with the transmitter, so you wouldn't know if it had stopped working.

[@matt9c1]

Partially true. Motorola made a Talkabout pager. It was a two way pager. It had a short lifespan and not many were sold. Most pagers were truly one way. The device noted in Columbia was actually a very early model iDEN phone. Nextel was the primary provider of iDEN back in the day. If you sent a "page"/text to the phone, you could see the status of it on the Nextel website. So, yes, the IDEN device in the Columbo episode did handshake with the network.

[@BedsitBob]

Cremation doesn't produce such fine ash. After the cremation, the remains have to go through a device similar to a cement mixer, with a large steel ball in it, to grind them down to the fine ash you receive in the urn.

[@RADIUMGLASS]

It's a blade which resembles a lawn mower blade that's what chops it all up. You leave it on for a minute even less and it'll put it into a fine powder. I worked in a crematorium.

McGoohan and Falk, two treasures of film and television. Not many could portray roles as great as they did. McGoohan's 60's cult masterpiece "The Prisoner" as well has his appearances in Columbo are some of may favorite classic television.

Too bad you edited the end scene in Ashes to Ashes. How Columbo aquired the tongs was funny. Also, when Columbo shook the urn (twice) to hear the metal "clink" in the urn. It added to the tension of the moment and you wondered "what is Columbo doing"?

[@Columbo]

Ah that scene, it was fantastic, no doubt. Had all the right elements-tension, drama. But, uh, it just didn’t have the impact needed to make the cut for the video. Still, it was a good one, just not quite pivotal enough.

[@josephclark4186]

@@Columbo Sorry, I don't mean to belabor the point. The scene was quite pivitol, in my humble opinion. Our dear Lieutenant would not have just opened the urn expecting to find the piece of shrapnel now, would he? Aside from building suspense and tension, the act of shaking the urn demonstrates that Columbo already knows what he's looking for. The "clink" is audible evidence, apparent to everyone present, especially McGoohan. In fact, it makes the proof more tangible and immediate than just Columbo opening the urn. It was a careful step- by- step reveal that showcased Columbo's deliberate nature of his work. It made for a more dramatic and memorable "gotcha".

the first lady and Patrick.... Sure, not exactly like how it happened irl. But this does remind me of another Journalist/Reporter who died under suspicious circumstances. Does anyone recall Dorothy Kilgallan? She had something to talk about. Unfortunately we will never know for sure what she was going to talk about. This episode makes me think of her. Just like the one where Hollywood does Houston. Although it did read Holly on the tape. Or was it Holy? I thought it was Holly. But somehow i remember also having read Hollywood does Houston.
