i have a picture of columbo on the family photo wall at home. it is funny how he blends right in. only very occasionally has a visitor ever noticed that columbo is right there next to my siblings and other important people. :)
when i was growing up we had lamps exactly like the one on Dr. Willis's bedside table.
Also, my dogs liked vanilla ice cream cones just like Dog. When we drove across country, they would always get excited at the drive through.
