Re: Columbo's Compliments Quizzie

As you have taught me, I won't be a hog. I think number 1 is Norman Paris and number 2 is Ward Fowler.

Re: Columbo's Compliments Quizzie

Is number 5 to Emmett Clayton in The Most Dangerous Match?

Re: Columbo's Compliments Quizzie

Aahh!! You guys are great!! On the nose!

Go ahead Lee, be a little piggie-hog if you want!!

Re: Columbo's Compliments Quizzie

#7 is to Mr. Santini

Re: Re: Columbo's Compliments Quizzie

#3 is Lyle Rumford ("By Dawn's Early Light")

#4 is Paul Hanlon ("The Most Crucial Game")

Re: Columbo's Compliments Quizzie

Leighton and David...Great job!

Only 6 & 8 are left.

Re: Columbo's Compliments Quizzie

I think #6 is Brimmer (can't remmember his first name, but it's Robert Culp in Death Lends a Hand), and I think #8 is Alex Benedict (John Cassavetes in Etude in Black.)

Re: Columbo's Compliments Quizzie

Great Gregg!! You got them right!!
um...the reason you can't remember Brimmer's first name is because he didn't have one!!
Oh dear!! I hope this doesn't start another "What Was Columbo's First Name" thread!!!!
And yup! That was my Johnny talking in #8.

Good job everybody!

Re: Columbo's Compliments Quizzie

#6 is when Columbo is eating lunch in brimmer's office, some sort of a fish dish. It is one of my favorite episodes. Of course, the real quote comes at the end of the show .... 'you take a potato, and you stuff it in the tail pipe. Doesn't do any damage, but the car won't start.'

I often want to try that one on my ex-wifes car.

Re: Columbo's Compliments Quizzie

Fred, I love that "you take a potata.."line!

And don't be messing with your ex-wife's car....silly!! (but it probably is tempting! )
