In Columbo Goes To College, why is it that Columbo doesn't mention ANYTHING about the professor leaving a message for Rowe Sr. at that restaurant. Why didn't he mention it to Robert Culp?
Once Columbo heard the name "Rowe" at the restaurant where the kids were, he snickered to himself. But kept quiet. He had a common denominator and did not want that information to get out to the public.
Incidentally, Culp played a great role of the over bearing father who's son had better get into law school "or else."
