Can’t help watching the same episode again and again

Amazon Prime is now showing all the columbo episodes on its streaming service we’ve had some murderers appear more than once, jack Cassidy being one of my favourites but one who gets overlooked and forgotten about even though she had an evil way of killing her dead nieces fiancé, suffocating him over the space of a weekend is Ruth Gordon, so unsurprising that she could do something like that, our detective though knew straight away

I went to college and got my criminal justice degree. And I'll never forget what one of my instructors told me. Never underestimate women. And that holds so true in this case. Ruth gordon, who looks like she could be the perfect grandmother to anybody, is- a cold hearted killer. There's no other way to describe her. I'm so glad at the end that Columbo got her.

Re: Can’t help watching the same episode again and again

Though this episode along with How to Dial a Murder are the only two I ever watch from season 7, I don't watch this one much. I can't get her character in Rosemary's Baby out of my mind when watching this episode. That character was completely annoying. Gordon's voice is like nails on a chalkboard.
