@Jonathan Campbell he might not count it, but it is most likely a cold case on his record.... Obviously dwarfed by him arresting his Sargeant, and celebrities, but still. I got to admit though, I don't think I can recall one episode where Columbo faced someone who committed suicide to prevent an arrest, so that's a positive.

[@NondescriptMammal]

Hah, I love where he kind of just tolerates that they're ignoring him, until he politely asks if they would like to come with him, and then when they don't, he gently asserts his authority with "Sir, I think you better come with me." The way he says it is perfect, you know he ain't messing around no more. You know when Columbo does that, you are toast.

The Miranda rights came from a court decision in 1966. He’s a veteran cop with a lot of years in so they are probably new and he didn’t have them memorized yet.

[@TheEmeraldMenOfficial]

@@jordanclink1479 Columbo’s first appearance was 1968: but this is from the last season, so it’s from the late 90s or 2000s. Columbo would have been on the force for 35 years, at least… he’d know them by heart. Though to be fair, Columbo has only one eye. His right eye is fake. (This is because Falk’s right eye was a glass eye: he had it removed at three due to neuroblastoma. They gave Columbo the same trait.)

[@paulrandig]

There is a moment that is forever imprinted in my memory - and I don't know why: It is the amused smile on Sondra Curries face when Columbo gently turns her head and you see her profile behind the mask.

[@Maninawig]

It really shows how much Columbo is respected in his precinct. She is cool, calm, and collected, even smiling as he manipulates her to demonstrate his point. Also, he specifically singled her out for being a woman with long hair to disprove the "but my partner is a woman" argument. Love those details.

This is one of the best of the late-era Columbo's for so many reasons, but the best is because Dabney played a truly great adversary. You actually felt he could beat Columbo, which is more than can be said for some other villains.

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

In a season 2 episode, "Double Shock" with Martin Landau, Dabney played one of Columbo's lieutenants. He's probably done more episodes too. Robert Culp and Patrick McGoohan have both done at least 3 episodes each playing villains or other characters.

[@jjr1728]

Columbo was a talented student of the human condition. His faux acting throws people off and makes them slip up. He really is the ultimate detective. His dry sarcasm makes his intentions seem superficial until you realize what he's doing. Even the villain knows. Dabney's character's reaction when Columbo decided to be the one to read the rights was clear he knew that Columbo was intentionally drawing out the moment to proverbially stick his nose in it. Columbo even acted dumb to emphasize how the killer acted earlier when the ticket was brought up and Dabney's character acted like the DA and Columbo were idiots.

[@I_WANT_MY_SLAW]

This was the first episode of Columbo I ever saw. I thought it was a movie at first. I remember watching it with my dad, and always remembered this scene in particular. And for 20 years I always wondered what this movie was I saw. One day I had the TV on MeTV while cleaning one day, and Columbo came on. I had never seen Columbo before, so I didn't watch it. But I left the TV on while I was in another room. I came back an hour and a half later, and to my surprise, the show was still on. So out of spontaneity, I decided to watch the rest of it. And wouldn't you know it, after 20 years, by chance, it was this exact episode. And out of sheer luck, it was at this exact moment that I tuned in. And it all came flooding back to me. I couldn't believe it. That movie I was watching with my dad was Columbo the whole time. I've since became a fan of the program, and enjoy it to this day. But what are the odds that the first episode I watched, happened to be the one I had watched 20 years prior? Literally 1.449%. And the odds become even lesser when you consider that out of all the channels, I had it on MeTV. And at that very time MeTV was playing Columbo. And that very episode. And I tune in at that very moment. It's closer to one in a million.

The big problem I had/have with this episode is that, since his assistant/new partner wasn't in on the planning of the murder., how could she possibly have known to create such an alibi for him at the exact time he needed one?? Why would she have been driving around with a mask of the suspect at the time of the murder, since she couldn't have known his plan?

It was an 'assignment' she had been sent to carry out as part of her job position - one she didn't understand till later...

Its awesome that columbo always makes them think they have won and that he just has some stuff to tell them.. when he could just arrest them lol gotta build em up before he knocks em down

[@aaronmehaffey6251]

Columbo has such a mean sense of humor!

[@TTony-tu6dm]

That’s a hell of a police sergeant

[@edwardbliss8931]

Peter Falk and Dabney Coleman were ad libbing this entire episode

[@master-kq3nw]

the best episode new columbo episode

[@RADIUMGLASS]

Dabney Coleman was in the episode with Martin Landau "Double Shock".

[@patrickjohnson5658]

Yes he was and he always seemed to be chewing on something. Columbo was running scared of that neatness freak housekeeper because his sloppy habits kept getting on her nerves, so much so she screamed to Dabney Coleman who played the detective sergeant "Get him out of here"!!! He also kept ruining her TV set with his experiments.
