This guy has a PERFECT track record and every other episode the other officers always look bemused or shake their heads like he was a doofus. And it always turns out to be over what becomes key evidence.

[@EdWongWRSU887FM]

a) he’s the BOSS on the scene, they all essentially work for him. b) they look bemused, they also KNOW he’s got that track record. They do what he tells em to do, crazy or not - take a pic of these corks? Done! c) he still does wacky stuff - what’s this radio cost? Did she do that song? They still respect him and of course - he is the boss in the scene!

[@TheDarkheart82]

Columbo aged better than most tv characters. Brilliance and excentricity still intact. Even tho the years rolled past, and the world around him changed, he remained columbo. *Edit* Can you imagine paying $400-500 for a CD player radio? *I love watching old shows and movies for little things like that.

[@jamesfeldman4234]

I grew up in the boom box era and $400-$500 would have been too high a price. (Boom box was the name given to that type of stereo equipment at the time.) A first-rate boom box, featuring all the bells and whistles could be had for about $200-$300. I remember buying such a boom box for about $200 from the Sharper Image. It lasted for years, and I ended up donating it while still in perfect working order.

[@GhostDrummer]

@@jamesfeldman4234 I was just going to say this. In 1991 I bought my first boom box with dual cassette, cd, am/fm, detachable speakers, rca inputs, and bass boost for $180 at Target. And it was twice as big as that one. What would be really cool is if someone could scan the barcode sticker on the back of the one in the clip and see where it came from.

As this sequence demonstrates, when Columbo arrives at the scene where the deceased is found, he immediately exercises professional skepticism and is alert to anomalies to ordinary expectations, while others ignore them or think them insignificant. In this case, the scene was staged, so those anomalies are very significant. While many a detective is perfectly happy to close-out a case, buying into the staged scene (and often doing so even when they recognize that anomalies are present), Columbo never does this, and that's one of things we love about him and the show.

She does appear again throughout the episode. When Columbo returns to the house and the housekeeper is there, she returns to speak to Columbo as he is looking in the A/C vent. Then she appears again at the police station to tell Columbo she found out who the gardener was. And then again at the end to prove that the killer wore a mask on his speeding ticket.

I think the problem with the later episodes is that the quality of the killers went down slightly and after all the killers in the older episodes are almost as important to what made the Columbo great as Columbo himself.

[@mizofan]

in my youth, at the front of the theatre in London, I watched the dead Juliet to see if she would breathe

[@terracottapie]

Compare this scene to old NBC columbos. NBC: Columbo wanders in, looks under a couch, sneezes, farts, makes funny faces, asks some lackey for a coffee. The other cops look at him like he's a lunatic. But he finds the important piece of evidence that recurs later. ABC: Columbo walks in like any rando TV detective. "Whaddya got, Sergeant?" Three minutes of boring TV cop show exposition. Finds the important piece of evidence and it shows in 83 closeups on the screen for five minutes straight to hit the audience over the head.

I just love how Columbo manages to look like an idiot and dumbfounds people with the way he investigates homicides. He looks at things a different way and not only confounds ordinary people, but police officers too! Now, with the suspects, he usually can tell who the suspect is when they seem to be able to keep up with him when doing these investigations, they either get involved and or annoyed and he gets them going, and then sets them up in a trap for them to fall into every time! Genius plots!

I don't think you got the point. He said they'd likely want to open the bottle together. It doesn't matter who grabs the bottle, the point is they would both likely be together when it was opened.

[@macnolds4145]

The point isn't that there is "no possibility" of a reasonable explanation. The point is that something is suspicious. If Columbo sees enough of these "little things", he then builds a case. Lastly, he finds evidence to support his theories. It's not a perfect science, but luckily for us viewers, the killers always confess on the show when Columbo presents the "smoking gun." (Of course, in reality, the primary suspect would just keep quiet, talk only through a lawyer, and often win the trial despite being completely guilty).
