Ok...this has to do with the original 45...and ONLY with the titles of the episodes....it has nothing to do with the plot.
If I have not annoyed the heck out of you thus far, this quiz will put you over the edge!!!! It is a bit strange...but have a go at it anyway..ok?
#1..What do Prescription: Murder and The Bye-Bye High I.Q. Murder Case have in common?
#2..What do Publish Or Perish and Mind Over Mayhem have to do with one another....and in the same vein..What does Murder Under Glass have to do with a coffe cup?
#3..What do these 3 episode titles have to do with one of Columbo's habits?....By Dawn's Early Light, The Most Dangerous Match...and Short Fuse.
#4..There are at least 5 titles that actually mention a prop that is used in the episode (not the murder weapon though)....can you name them?
#5..There are 2 episode titles that mention some sort of soap or cleaning detergent. Can you name them? (apologies to my beloved UKers if you don't have these products..but I think you may.. )
#6..How about a real easy one?....Which 3 episode titles mention a color?
DISCLAIMER: I am no Headache and I never will be. I always manage to screw up when I post these quizzes...But believe me, I tried really hard this time and I don't think I made a mistake...my fingers are crosed.
Excellent job David...that was my favourite one...I just thought it was kinda cute.
Now to my disclaimer...I sorta made a mistake on #4.......I know..I know...let me hear you all groan...it really should be only 4 titles not 5, because one of the props is actually the murder weapon in a way.
Heck..I wouldn't sweat too much on the last two questions because the answers are kinda dumb.
Yay! Yay! Yay!....Great job E!
You got it right about the punctuation thingy..
And the props thing too..the last one would have been Any Old Port in a Storm..where a bottle of port is in the episode. The one that I messed up on was I originally included Short Fuse in this category, but a short fuse was actually the murder weapon.
Thanks to everybody, I sometimes screw these quizzes up, and I did a bit this time, as I said, I aint no Headache...but I'm trying.....Yay!!
Of course I have seen Etude in Black, like most people on this board I have seen every Columbo. What I meant was I didn't think of Etude when I was thinking of titles with colors. I just thought it was ironic that I didn't think of that title considering who came up with this quiz in the first place.
And I sort of thought you had seen it..but I just misunderstood you. But you would be surprised how many people here, who post regularly, haven't seen all the episodes....myself included. I have seen all the original 45 but very few of the newer ones.
