A Friend in Deed
Mark Halperin should have authorized a huge raise for Columbo years earlier so he did not have to live in an apartment fit for a struggling burglar like Artie Jessup.

Forgotten Lady
Grace Wheeler should have married Ned Diamond.

This 2 really make me laugh

And another from Negative Reaction...why did he leave those pictures in the fireplace? Dumb!!

Great post David!

Oh...and by the by....it was my thread so I carefully and methodically chose the word Stupid!!

Yeah, fantastic post David. A lot to take in there...

After that post, it's pretty well covered, but I'll put my two cents in...

The ending of "High Sky IQ" was just so wrong. That was a great murder that was ruined by a short running time and a stupid mistake at the end.

Also, although it's a first rate episode with one of the greatest final clues ever, Oscar Finch in "Agenda for Murder" is supposedly one of the state's greatest criminal attorneys yet he leaves such an obvious clue at the scene of the crime.
