Re: Which 'New' episodes hold up to the 70's series
I don't know it well, but it's nice that "It's All In The Game" finally gave the show a "femme fatale" - I mean a character who becomes one with Columbo himself, as opposed to other men.
Re: Which 'New' episodes hold up to the 70's series
None. They are unwatchable. Falk seems tired and uninspired. The Columbo character is mostly a parody of himself. The plots and solutions are ridiculous. Instead of the realistic atmosphere of the 70s and murderers with substance we get a plastic phony atmosphere and annoying brats.
Re: Which 'New' episodes hold up to the 70's series
I used to call them unrecognized actors, but "Annoying brats" is a more accurate statement. I only enjoy the episodes that utilize actors I am familiar with. The exception to that was yesterday's episode Columbo likes the nightlife The Killers were "annoying brats" but Steve schirripa made the whole episode watchable for me. besides, I think it was John Finnegan's final Columbo

Columbo likes the Nightlife was everybody's final Columbo. :wink:
