Re: Pens and Pencils

this pattern gets set up early in the series right from the beginning from Prescription Murder when he says that his wife gives him a pencil every morning and he always loses it.

Re: Pens and Pencils

Ahhh, I couldn't remember specifically what reference was made in PRESCRIPTION: MURDER. Thanks, Fred!

Re: Pens and Pencils

And both of them forgetting about the pen gives Columbo an excuse to get the ball rolling. The episode also ends with Columbo in need of a pen, which is supplied by the officer, although Columbo didn’t ask for it.

Also in "College", as he is setting up Justin and Cooper with the car.
