[@stevenmanchester2104]

The great thing about the Columbo movies, since you already knew who the murderer was you could rewatch them over and over just to enjoy Columbo slowly drive the murderer nuts.

[@thinkforyourself2109]

Columbo seemed to instinctively latch onto the murderer early on in the investigation and circle around, pretending to be a bumbling fool, but in time revealing himself a genius able to piece together the crime and the cover-up. Yes, it drives the murderer crazy, first with annoyance, then with worry - until finally he (or she) is defeated.

Only in America could they produce a show that tells its audience who did it right at the beginning. And then expext us to watch as the killer lies all the way through until Columbo finds a piece of evidence two minutes before he solves the crime. Dire stuff.

[@MrCaptainA]

No matter how many cases Columbo successfully closes, everyone else never seems to learn not to underestimate him. They should all know by now he's ALWAYS the smartest guy in the room.

[@Tonytrekdax]

... I always felt the same way. I think they treated each of his episodes like mini movies, so to speak. So they were independent from one another. Because he busted some major bad guys. He busted the actual deputy chief of police (hiss boss), a US senator, famous chef, a famous art critic, famous symphony maestro and several other famous or well known people but it was never mentioned. You would think with all the famous people he had busted over the years he himself would have gotten some notoriety but it never happened. Not even the people in his own department gave him credit for being the best detective ever.

[@droceretik]

@@Tonytrekdax His colleagues in his department knew his reputation. His character was a detective first and foremost and had no interest in climbing up the administrative ladder. His captain had a great deal of respect for him and so did his team and they bent over backwards to obey his requests. In one episode his Captain is complicite in a charade to fool a suspect. This indicates a great deal of professional respect. The only officers who did not show respect was those from outside districts who didn't know him. In almost all the episodes the uniform branch of his command knew him and followed his orders explicitly. He did not give media interviews and left that for his Captain. He was humble and did not seek notoriety and more than likely his character attributed the successes to a team effort. I don't know how you conclude that his departmental colleagues did not credit his brilliance. The shows never showed the backroom conversations. I think the writers chose to keep his rank as lieutenant because that is the highest "coalface" role without significant administrative duties. I think his persona was deliberately developed to portray a brilliant detective who kept a low profile and bumbling manner so that he fooled the high profile criminals. The criminal characters may talk about him to fellow inmates and the word about Columbo may have got around in the underworld but these murderers were mostly well off, first offenders and so would have little association with the underworld for them to be wary of Columbo.

[@Tonytrekdax]

@@droceretik ... don't get me wrong... I LOVE COLUMBO... I've literally seen every episode more times that I can count; I just wish they gave him more "kudos" in the shows. For example, I appreciated in the episode when he was investigating the writer of the Mrs. Mellville Mysteries who killed his writer partner and Columbo mentioned that he always wanted to be a writer and gave the example of the Senator he busted for killing his campaign manager but didn't know how to put that experience on paper. And the other time he was in Mexico and the police inspector recognized Columbo's name as the detective who solved the murder on-board the cruise ship. What I mean to say is... there were just a couple of moments where his pervious cases were mentioned but he never became know as "the greatest detective on the force". Like I said before, he made some major busts in his career and I find it odd that they never built on that. I know he was humble but I think it would have added a layer of "slickness" if a criminal knew who he was and tried to outsmart him. I wouldn't want that for every episode but every once and a while would have been nice.

[@289cobra9]

But he acted like the dumbest one in the room till the "gotcha" moment.

[@NiceTryLaoChe]

@@289cobra9 After the episode where Columbo successfully entraps the POLICE COMMISSIONER-his boss' boss' boss-proving his guilt in a double homicide, one would imagine the word would be out about him as a man to be feared.

I read somewhere that it was very difficult to write an episode of Columbo because of the murderer reveal at the beginning off each show.

[@SallySallySallySally]

Ray Milland was an absolute top-drawer Oscar-winning actor who was always in demand. "Lost Weekend" and "Dial M for Murder" are just two of dozens of his movies. When TV started to become ubiquitous, he had "The Ray Milland Show' and started doing more TV work. In the previous season of "Columbo," he was in the episode "Death Lends a Hand." There's a waiting-room scene in that episode that really shows his acting chops in that it's full of body language and other subtleties that are never in a script or stage direction but he does just instinctively and effortlessly. It's always amazing to me to witness this. Myrna Loy displays another example of this improvisational genius in "The Best Years of Our Lives" -- her scene with Fredric March in their bedroom after March, her husband, has just returned from a multi-year deployment overseas during World War II.

@@lizardfirefighter110 Columbo is just a detective story and the way the plot of it is written is the third bullet was fired by the murderer at an intruder who broke into his greenhouse around a year before he murdered his nephew. The screenwriters needed that angle to get around the fact the murderer subsequently planted the gun on an innocent person. So when the gun was found in the possession of the innocent person, Columbo could prove it was the murderers gun, because the bullet he fired at the intruder around a year ago matched it.

Agreed, although its also noted sparsely few episodes/serials actually showed one or two murderers who caught onto him and his; "idiot act" though? Check any Columbo websites to find out which ones though in the trivia sections of those websites. "Strange Bedfellows" from the early 2000's is one i truly recall with George Wendt as the murderer, Columbo struggled to nail that guy cos he wasn't fooled by the idiot act i do recall. Columbo needed help from a local mob boss played by; 'Rod Steiger' i do remember. There are a few others but the names of the serials escape me though, again check any Columbo websites for the various details.

[@emberman535]

I have literally never watched this show in my life. Why am I here?

[@ericssmith2014]

Oh, no reason at all, sir, but Columbo wonders if you could help him out with just one thing that’s been bugging him.

[@johncutter1572]

Glad it wasnt just me. Iv been binging and I'm 5 seasons in and just assumed the machine heard me talking about it

[@MagicPaw9000]

It's Columbo. Do you really need more reasons?

[@davidmurphy8236]

Years ago I would watch this, Banacek, McCloud, etc. I’d love to see full episodes again 😊

[@marmary5555]

Please post the whole episodes 😭

[@jaymorris3468]

Superb series, we need him back

[@elih9700]

The changing size of his cigar is a marvel in itself.

[@franciscorafael7975]

SIMPLEMENTE LOS VOLVIA LOCOS.... EXCELENTE SERIE.

[@barney6888]

when i was young i didn't like Ray Milland, but seeing these episodes showed me he was actually a very good actor.

[@gdwnet]

This is one of my favourite columbos.

[@Office_De_Receiver_Complaints]

My favorite episode.

[@Maxfr8]

You can't hustle Columbo.

[@officialbrucewayne]

I love columbo

[@thenorthstars2210]

4:22 Sgt is sleeping thru his lines....LOL

[@notinterested8452]

One small dab of the good quality columbo and all of the problems get solved.

[@CarryTheThree]

he really got to the .. Root... of that problem.. : )

[@mohammedmajid936]

Very good

[@balaam_7087]

Best music in the entire series in this episode

[@damonbray8002]

Finally someone said something about the music in this episode. I loved it!!

[@FaeriePuck]

Reaching into a paper envelope with his cigar hand. Could never be me.

[@vivaldi1ett]

Can still watch the reruns with all the enthusiasm as if it was the first there’s so many layers to the story people’s lives and his that you’ll always find something you missed they’ll never age because they’re done by the book in real time with real laws

[@shawngilbert4900]

Freaking loved this show

[@urukadooedwards7637]

I've always loved Columbo. Been watching Law and Order "Criminal Intent" lately and reminds me of this show. Vincent D' Onofrio is awesome....like Columbo. Just saying :)

[@rachelgarber1423]

You’re right, I never thought of that

[@MillerMeteor74]

I feel the same way. I love Law and Order: Criminal Intent, and it does remind me of Columbo!

[@grovermarchand5537]

Underestimate them at your own peril

[@Dogen70]

I agree. I ended saying the same thing

[@gregorymacdonnell7914]

, Vinnie D. does have a little Peter Falk in him for sure. I love how he bends at the waist to lean into a perp`s face while slowly turning the screws down on them! Haahaaa!!

[@jamesolojo787]

Excellent ending watched it loads of times

[@magna4100]

Columbo will be politely calling you "sir," all the way to The Chair.

[@travelingwithrick]

Ray Milland was done of best villains to Columbo ever.

[@macklee6837]

Just one more thing 🤔

[@ladylightning1741]

I love how polite Columbo is at all times. Even when he's calling people out he's so polite

[@Kyrieru]

Man the moment she drops into the chair our of relief. Such a classy script.
