And while we are on the subject of filler scenes with music in it, it calls to mind that absolutely awful scene in Murder With Too Many Notes when they are playing the film score guessing game.
There is a filler scene in 'Etude to Black' when Columbo goes to Alex Benedict's home where he is asking him questions about his home value, taxes. how much he earns, etc. They even gave it away that it was filler since it was added after the fact. It shows Alex with a haircut and then the scenes after he is back to longer hair.

Filler?
Yes.
But, I enjoy any scene with Cassavetes and Falk doing their thing!
( and it helped COLUMBO establish a possible motive)
In the episode Suitable for Framing, when Dale Kingston attends that artist's gallery showing, those lame jokes with the forced laughter really bothers me. Apart from that scene, the rest of the episode is five stars.
