In a similar way, I wish I had seen the one that an old friend's wife (she's a real Columbo fan, by the way) still insists that she saw. In that one, Columbo's brother has been arrested for murder in a small town in California, and Columbo goes there to find the real killer, so he can get his brother out of jail. No word on who plays Columbo's brother, and I have never figured out what she actually saw -- maybe a McCloud.
In 2007 I thought I remembered a Columbo episode from the 70s, but turned out it was different show. Anyone know what show this was from? (I know the answer now.)
I made this post in 2007:
But there is another episode I remember that didn't show up. In this one just before the victim died he unplugged the TV and the alarm clock at the same time. Columbo kept trying to figure out why the victim did this. Eventually Columbo got the TV show that was running at the time the TV and clock were unplugged. It was a news cast doing a weather report and referring to the sun, from this Columbo figured out the victim was trying to say his son was the killer.....
I can clearly remember this, could I be mistaken? Were there some episodes from the 70s not released??
