"Ya know it's funny -- I've always rejected the post 78 episodes as nothing more than lame overkill, and it's observations like these that prove how correct I am. I've only seen two of them myself (College and Ashes) but who needs to gag on more than that to reach the same conclusion?"

karl, i haven't seen too many of the abc columbos. and the ones i have seen have not thrilled me all that much. BUT the only problem is that i cannot judge all of the 'newer' episodes on the limited few that i have seen.
yes, the ones i have seen have been sub-par for me..but i truly can't make a judgement on all of them because i am not familar with them....

I've never seen a single episode of "Prison Break", therefore it obviously SUCKS!

I've seen only a single episode of "24" and I wasn't impressed. Therefore every episode obviously SUCKS!

I've seen only one episode of "Lost" and I wasn't impressed. Therefore, every episode obviously SUCKS!

Do we get the concept here? Basing an opinion of an entire "era" of 24 "Columbo" episodes by the judgement of only 2 of those episodes is a clear indication that the person forming the opinion is a complete idiot.

A small number of the ABC episodes were quite bad. Most of the episodes were of quality above that of the average made-for-tv movies. A good number of the ABC "Columbo" episodes were SUPERIOR television, and SUPERIOR "Columbo", far-outdoing several of the original NBC episodes. "Columbo Cries Wolf" was one of those VASTLY SUPERIOR episodes.

Now then, someone mentioned that getting permission to tear up a yard looking for a body would take a whole lot of doing. Someone else said it would probably never happen. All I need do is remind you of what just happened a month or so ago concerning the FBIs search for Jimmy Hoffa. They tore up a farm looking for the body, and destroyed an incredibly expensive horse stable and the results were zero.

headache, why oh why am i not surprised that i would see a post from you on here??
