Hmmm....seems to me there is some other episode -- I must have a note about it in the vast Ultimate Columbo Archives, at home -- which does identify Columbo's call number, as we hear Columbo getting "paged" from his police radio. It's one of the earlier episodes, I believe.
and santini should have never left that typewriter ribbon in the typewriter....and i won't even go into alex benidict's foolishness of leaving that flower behind!!!!!!!!!!
hey mike..if i could comment on the episode you speak about i would...but i never saw it...sorry...
but i think we are having a bit of fun here at your expense because 'hank aaron' posted something so off topic...
hopefully some one who has seen it will comment in kind..........
