Mr. Rowe in Columbo Goes To College is brutal on Columbo: “You’re investigating the man’s murder and you’re unaware that he wrote a series of incendiary true crime exposes?
You were unaware that the security guards brother is a convicted hired killer? You didn’t check because he’s a “nice guy” My 22 year old son knew it. It’s clear you don’t have the vaguest notion of which end is up. It’s just a statement of fact. I can’t do your job for you. Here’s the professor’s book. READ IT!”.
He really zings him. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Columbo treated so poorly. Even Commissioner Halperin apologized after blowing his stack. But I don’t think Mr. Rowe apologized after Columbo finally solved the case, lol.
