Suitable for Framing
Try and Catch Me
Etude in Black

Would that be Trinidad and Tobago, Paul???

ok....

Etude In Black
Troubled Waters
How To Dial A Murder

Suitable for Framing
Murder Under Glass
A Stitch in Crime

Of course it would be hard to be separated from my very first Columbo, "Sex and the Married Detective", but sacrifices must be made.

My three chioces would be

Any Old Port In A Storm
Try And Catch Me
Columbo Likes the Nightlife

Please allow me to weigh in and add some episodes that don't rise to the top of most people's richter scales.

Blueprint for Murder
Greenhouse Jungle
Requiem for a Falling Star

Joe...3 great choices.

This is hard!!

Any Old Port In A Storm
The Bye Bye Sky High IQ Murder Case
Murder Under Glass

Actually, this is quite easy for me if you let me take advantage of a double sided or dual-layered disc and go to five episodes. :)

1-Death Lends A Hand
2-Dagger Of The Mind
3-Forgotten Lady
4-Prescription Murder
5-Try And Catch Me

Now that's cheating Eric!
Now this is going to sound silly but I "forgot" about Forgotten Lady....I would love that one too.......can I have some of your double sided dvds????

hey hey...rules are rules. I knew someone would try and cheat eventually...

Perfectly legit when a double sided DVD can still be one DVD's worth of material. ;)

Could not be parted from

1. - Murder by the Book
2. - Columbo Goes to College
3. - Columbo Cries Wolf

although if pushed would swap 'College' for Butterfly in Shades of Gray

my choices would have to be
1. Double Exposure
2. Now You See Him
3. A Friend In Deed

In the beginning I was a little cool to "A Friend in Deed," but I like it a little more each time. Notice how they really invoke a color theme of "RED" throughout the episode. The plot, the dialog, the casting and the acting are all good. The only bad part is the scene with the helicopter - too unbelievable for words!

Yup Joe....all the RED!! I love it!! It didn't stop...it just kept keep coming...it was a brillantly filmed episode...kudos to Benny Gazzara....I loved this episode....it was really a mind-bender at the end....

These arent in any real order by the way.

1. How to dial a murder

2. A friend in deed

3. Swan Song

They will probably change very easily. Would be interesteing to do this again in say a month and see if the episodes change.

God bless,

Matthew

17 years old answer, has to be a record (wasn't around here when the forum was new), but I'd say undercover, murder under glass and bye-bye sky-high iq murder case!
