The Lt. Columbo Forum
An area where fans from all over can ask each other questions and voice their own ideas and opinions on anything Columbo.This Forum is fondly dedicated in memory of "cassavetes45" (Carleen Zink),
Columbo's greatest fan and a great friend to us all.
That would be "watched again", and they never actually show a dead bird -- they just imply one.
Also, Cassavetes looks like a spasm with no sense of timing trying to portray a conductor. He was good in the role, but much too lame for one as a maestro.
Etude is still among my top 10, but I'd hardly classify its priciple as a "greatest villain" with the silly mistakes he made (I'd have considered the bird and would never have inserted the type-written page back into the machine), but what gets to me every time I hear it is that canned dog barking.
They employ the same annoying in-studio recording whenever it's called for, but the dog's movements are never consistent with the sound. 
Plus, the opened the concert with the final movement of a Beethoven symphony, not the first. 
i agree fielding. in today's world of political correctness good ole chopin would not have met his untimely demise. what kills me is the fact that it's ok to show the murder of a person..but not an animal!
