Re: Which Episode Would You Watch?

Watching some of the TV magic to create the magic act in Now You See Him, is hilarious especially the lady quite obviously holding the bunch of flowers below table height to then magically appear.

As for the one I'd most enjoy watching as described in the first post, it would have to be Make me a perfect murder. Yes it has a few faults but for some reason I really enjoy the relationship between Columbo and Kay.
MAKE ME...is one I never rewatch!
Weak script, but I know what you mean about that relationship

Re: Which Episode Would You Watch?

Yeah, I know what you mean about the script but for some reason I really enjoy it as a whole.

I could love with out the 5 minutes of filler watching the dancing oscilloscope screens and George C Scott but I'm always entertained by the episode
It's almost as if the murder is the less important aspect of the plot.

Re: Which Episode Would You Watch?

Man, that's a tough question. I almost have to ask, who is my favorite bad guy? Robert Culp? Jack Cassidy? Robert Conrad?........etc.

If I have to pick one, it's probably Exercise in Fatality with Death Lends a Hand close 2nd. The bad guys are just great in it. Both of them. Columbo is himself, in one scene in Exercise in Fatality, as Robert Conrad begins to tell him that he talked to Stafford that night, Columbo says......."I better write this down" and proceed to check every single pocket he's wearing before he finally figures out his notepad is in his back pants pocket. I think he even checked his side pocket on his coat twice. Classic.......hilarious. Good question.....

Re: Which Episode Would You Watch?

My favorites are the one with Janet Leigh, the winery one and any with Jack Cassidy
