I find it hysterical that the robot runs on 8 tracks.

[@guitarttimman]

Well, it's not that far fetched. I was a computer programmer in the 1980's, and the company I worked for had an 8 inch floppy disk drive. lol

Hey still got 8 track player love it❤❤

Columbo's dog lived for about 25 years.

[@kenw.1112]

Long live the hound!!!

The kid, Lee Montgomery, is now a real estate agent.

[@LearnerChess]

A real achievement if it's Manhattan. Not so much if it's New Orleans.

[@rafdjen3301]

Let me laugh cause l'm Stefan Arngrim and Montgomery because of Samantha my mother

[@stockbridgeworks]

You'd have to be a MAJOR genius to build a mini robot at 5 years old...

[@Majorhappysaccount]

The most unbelievable thing about him building a Mickey Mouse robot... Disney didn't sue him.

[@darthgoku90]

This is like Columbo meets Dexter's Lab. All this boy genius is missing is big round glasses, red hair and a German/Russian accent and he'd pass for a live-action Dexter.

[@MrKevinpscott]

when Morpheus was conjuring up monsters from the iD the last thing he would be expecting was columbo to come knockin at the door, not even Robbie the robot could keep him out

[@MrKevinpscott]

its ok Vane I have a sense of humour that can be hard to fathom , if you haven't seen the film "forbidden Planet " I too wouldn't understand

[@rickmays8868]

Morbius

[@BuddyNovinski]

What this boy genius meant is that if he took a test of intelligence for the police and scored too high, the bureaucrats would not have left him in. It actually happened later to one Robert Johnston in New London CT! He sued, but the court declared he wasn't dumb enough to be a cop! Educational discrimination Is another aspect which I've endured for 35 years.

[@matturban9103]

I can believe it. I graduated from high school in 1982 in Hot Springs,Arkansas. A year or so later we moved to China Grove,North Carolina. I applied for a job at the Concord,North Carolina employment office. I think I took a little written test and dexterity test,putting pegs into washers and a board. A few minutes after the test someone told me," I'm sorry,you're overqualified." I laughed and said," Thank you! I have a high school diploma."

Cool fact: The boy genius character’s name was Steve Spielberg.

they certainly got their money's worth with that robot prop . How many times has it been 'rented' out to various shows ?

No way!, its a real life robot isnt it?.... it had to audition like all the other robots just they must have missed out on this role

[@alienlife7754]

So if Robbie the robot and the robot from the original Lost In Space had a fight who would win?

[@Azzameen99AZ]

Going by his cameo in Lost in Space, Robby wins.

[@thetruthneverhurts8420]

You mean shake clamps

[@Ulysse21Y]

Cops and Robots ... in team work this is a good idea.

[@HC-cb4yp]

A rare misstep for the early Columbo episodes. I'm surprised Falk agreed to it. Robots and a child-genius scientist? Ugh...

[@bettyeugene1463]

Why, Mark, the robot and little Steve who programmed it showed how the wicked Dr, Cahill was able to leave his post at the Institute and kill the elderly gentleman,! Steve was taken to the movies by the mechanic, and it was the robot at the controls instead! That was Cahill's alibi, but he didn't fool Lt. Columbo!!! LOLOL!!!

[@HC-cb4yp]

Exactly!

[@HC-cb4yp]

So what we recognize as weak will be accepted as genius by later generations?

[@TheJabbate1]

That is Robbie the Robot! The first movie prop to reach celebrity stardom. Even with replaced parts, that thing oozes retro-futuristic charisma.

[@nelsonx5326]

Yes, very ugh. What would that be called... corny, hokey, kitschy, campy? Did Falk have a choice? It was a good episode though.

Compared to modern day humanoid robots like Sophia this 1970's robot version seems a bit primitive....

Well, *everything* from the 70s looks "a bit" primitive with our modern tech. And so will our modern tech in the 2070s :P

Scott The Artist I like your avatar. Did you draw it? Neat cubist effect.

[@rickrick5041]

Columbus in the 50’s was never more than 10 minutes partly because of programming. There’s hardware and software. The 50’s TVs were mostly hardware and too small so they couldn’t hold longer shows inside them. Nowadays the software programming and larger memory with teamwork allows you to watch all sizes due to the chips and LEDs and Motorola involvement. The circuitry and transistors with programming makes the difference to make an overall racism free product. The primary transistor is the BJT and FET is the modern version of transistor. The types of BJT are NPN and PNP transistors. The FET is a unipolar device, which means that it is made using either p-type or n-type material as main substrate. The proof is in the pudding.

[@rsrt6910]

???

[@rickrick5041]

Yes, of course, ??? is a an undercover peaceful Indian artist expression akin to Dylan Mulvaney, musician, and peace activist, best known for its association with the Clolud 99 Nickelodeon's of feather daster fame. Old TV shows like Columbus are very good even with interpreting for beer commercials Bud Lyte. The artistic work of ??? aka Dylan Mulvaney spans a variety of media, including music, performance art, Bud Light and Bud Lighter and visual art. Dylan Mulvaney and ??? gained recognition for avant-garde and experimental art in the 1960s into 2030's and in between for Dylan Mulvaney was associated with the Fluxus Brucktus movement, which emphasized artistic experimentation and a blurring of boundaries between different art forms of Dylan Mulvaney. ??? and trusted Bud Lighes sidekicker Dylan Mulvaney shared their artistic pursuits and advocacy for peace. They are heavily except but for Bud Lights visual art, and remained involved in social and environmental causes. However, ??? has been a polarizing figure, with opinions about her role in the breakup of Bud Lighte. Despite this, Dylan Mulvaney has continued to be an influential and recognized figure in the world of contemporary art and music and most especially and importantly, old TV sets and programs. @@rsrt6910

Hi

[@keelanmurphy9941]

This was.... Not a good episode lol.

[@dmitry123456789012]

genuine question: what exactly was not so good about this episode? It's consistent with majority of reviews, but somehow I didn't notice anything bad about this episode, just curious what is that people don't like about it

[@keelanmurphy9941]

@@dmitry123456789012 If you ask me, it's an absurd premise, an annoyingly twee execution and a ridiculous gimmick in the robot. And I say that as a massive Columbo fan with a high tolerance for absurdity, tweeness and gimmicks.

Almost 50 years and robots still don't look realistic or move any quicker than an old bod with hemerroids! Wota con!

[@Blueoriontiger]

Look at Boston Dynamic's robots. They may not look realistic, but they move pretty quickly. You'd be surprised.
