Re: Columbo Fun Test

I think that an earlier post on this site had the writer of murder With Too Many Notes talking about what he intended, and what actually made it to screen. B-E-C-C-A are musical notes (as are G-A-B-E). I can only assume that the title gives a clue as to how Columbo solved the murder. Except it didn’t, lol.

Just visualize a Kay Freestone type executive ripping out pages that would have explained the mystery, leaving us with huge plot holes. Then she proudly says: “At least we’re back on schedule now boys. And they’ll never miss what they didn’t know”.

Of course, since the entire episode didn’t make sense, I guess we really do miss what we didn’t know, lol

Re: Columbo Fun Test

I thought Becca was the girlfriend (short for Rebecca).

I vaguely recall the clue was that the notes from the award winning song spelled out becca, and the only way for that to be was if the victim wrote the song.

Perhaps some of the reruns leave that detail out.

I have the DVD version and there is no explanation at the end. I mean, if you're going to cut a scene, why would they cut out the most important one? That would be a good episode if there was an ending of some sort.

" I mean, if you're going to cut a scene, why would they cut out the most important one?"

Good question. Why would anyone cut the scene in "Dagger of the Mind" where Columbo slyly implies shooting the pearl into the umbrella?

Don't know, but I've seen that episode rerun where they did exactly that.
