I remember watching these episodes when they aired.. simply the columbo connection was enough and I rarely missed it..

plus... Kate was hot!.. she was extreemly sultry and sexy .. I had (as young teen)a crush on her. honest!

..I almost forgot !!when it originaly aired .. in the opening credits part, when you see her reach to the nightstand .. she would slightly turn a framed photo of Falk(columbo) before she turned out the light.. that was one of the last things you would see as the introduction to the show..

I notice that it was somehow chopped in the dvd episode.

Great "Mrs Columbo" back-story, headache.

With luck, TeleToby will check in with his theory of how the 2 shows intersect (or not) in the televerse.
