There's just something about watching "Columbo" on broadcast TV that makes it just a bit more "special". Perhaps it's that you know that there are many, many, many other people out there in TV land that are watching the same episode of "Columbo" as you are and at the exact same time. It also gives you a chance to get up during the commercials and grab a sandwich or visit a certain little room in the house. Now if only Peter and Universal (and ABC?) would get their collective acts together and get on with some new episodes!!

yet some more excellent reasons! this time from headache the magnificent!
it is a good feeling to know that there are other people out there watching the same columbo at the same time as me...especially when i think that some of them could be the wonderful people from this forum.

Is Bravo showing any of the TV movies or just the original 70s run? I've been dieing (hah!) to get my hands on a copy of "Columbo Cries Wolf" for a long time.

erin, i'm assuming they are only going to air the original 45...that is what they have done in the past.

Rats.

yay! yay!! yay!!!! this means i might finally get a copy of "lovely but lethal"!!! it is the only one of the original eps. i am missing now.

well, still want to get tapes of other episodes that i have, but with poor tape quality or glitches in the recording.

(can you believe i accidentally hit "play" during the final scene of "etude in black"?????? columbo is just pointing out that alex is wearing the carnation on the replay coming out of jennifer's house, and my episode cuts to leslie or leigh keno on "antiques roadshow" describing the legs on some old bureau. agggghhhhh!)
