How could anyone forget the one that started it all: 'Prescription: Murder', with Dr. Flemings instant metamorphosis from gloating mastermind to trapped rat!
Goes to College - "Yes but we didn't find the murder weapon in Dominic Doyle's car. This is my wife's car. And this is a picture of our niece . . . and our dog."
I love the way Columbo also proves his trap is genuine, the pictures, the socks and underwear in the bureau drawer, the pajamas . . . ya gotta love it.
Oh yes, I remember another good scene.Rest in peace, mrs Columbo...I don't remember exact quotation, but Vivian says sth similar to "You'll be lying dead on your kitchen floor" and Columbo replies sth like "I'm afraid that's not possible.You see, this is not my kitchen."
