I actually don't mind S.B. There are a number of classic clues dotted about the episode -- I really like Columbo's 'hounding' of George Wendt, it's almost all good stuff.

Maybe the Steiger material is suspect but the Lieutenant does make it clear at the end that they're definitely not the same -- so that makes it okay in my book :-)!

KENOSHA.

I have a question -

At the end when Columbo uses the pay phone at the Bay Leaf to call the cop outside, he lifts up the Out of Order sign (knowing full well it was part of the trap) yet Graham didn't say anything or react, thus at that point realizing he was being set up.

KENOSHA!!!!!!! MAN!! that feels good!!!!

YES I ACTUALLY ENJOYED THIS EPISODE, THE MURDERS WERE ORIGINAL AND COLUMBOS CONTINUOUS HOUNDING OFF THE BIG GUY( CANT REMEMBER HIS NAME) WAS FUNNY TO WATCH.
YET I CANT BELIEVE THAT WHEN HE WENT INTO THAT BAR IN DISGUISE THAT HE STILL ORDERED HIS USUAL DRINK, SCOTCH AND SODA EASY ON THE SODA.
