Mac

Or is it "Mack?" I wouldn't have minded if "Mac" appeared on other episodes besides "Last Salute to the Commodore."

Dagger in the mind (so to speak).

Just as Columbo identifies himself (and who he was with) to Lilly at the Haversham funeral, the next shot exposes Durk pecking his wife on the cheek and patting her on the rear-end as if to shuffle her on her way. I'd never noticed that before.

Too Many Notes - Too Many Pieces Of Glass

When is Columbo Season 4 released in the UK?

Does anyone have any idea when Season 4 is out in the UK? I know it's out in the US in March, but it's normally out here a few months after. Anyone got any dates?

Columbo: The Most Crucial Game

Peter Falk and Robert Culp were pretty good in this "Columbo" film. I liked the scene where Columbo visists a hooker and he gets mistaken for a client, that was very entertaining and funny. The hooker was played by Valerie Harper. Peter Falk has some films in the ca...

One of the shows ends with the woman murderer driven quite insane by Columbo's persistence and she wanders around yelling, "Don't mock me, Jorge". Does anyone know which show this is from? Thanks.

In another area on this message board, others have written that Kate Mulgrew is not their idea of what the "true" Mrs. Columbo should really look like. I have to agree. However, it is interesting that in the episode, "Rest In Peace, Mrs. Columbo" we do get a look...
