Re: Columbo's Toughest Assignment

In terms of sheer leg-work..I think How to Dial a Murder was a pretty tough assignment.
Columbo had to go out to that ghost town, visit laurel and hardy when they were confined, visit the animal trainer where he had to stay up all night long..and all the while had to deal with Dr. Mason's mind games..figuratively and literally.
And to top it all off he had to possibly risk his own life...what if the animal trainer's reversal of the dogs hadn't worked correctly.

I find it odd that in "A Friend in Deed" that Columbo
doesn't resist more the idea that the Deputy Police Commissioner did it. I would think that he would find it incredible, but he glomms onto him just like the other suspects.

I think right from the get-go Columbo had all these little things as usual that bothered him and the Super was too sure of the burglar accusations.

I always thought he came close with Johhny Cash. Cash had it in the bag, he was on that flight and away...
