  • The 70’s Columbo was better than later episodes. The Rockford Files was great too.
  • When Columbo appeared on the Dean Martin roast for Frank Sinatra, he had everyone in tears laughing. He never broke character. Peter Falk was fantastic.

    I'd like to see videos about the Prisoner, the Man From Uncle, Secret Agent Man, the Saint, Get Smart, Lancelot Link, and other 60s sci-fi-sh spy shows.

    Columbo was the best detective character, always could outsmart the villain by pretending to be dumb
  • Patrick McGoohan was a good friend of Peter's, as Peter loved The Prisoner. He even gave Pat one of his glass eyes with a note, 'Be Seeing You!' McGoohan also directed a few episodes.
  • 21:03 - oh look. It's Captain Janeway. I am glad that she made her way out of the gama quadrant! 😅

    The one thing I learned from Columbo is if the cops ask you how you think the killer did it just say how should I know. So many times, the killer gave themselves away by explaining exactly how they did it. 😂
  • I was 9 when The Movie Of The Week premiered. Being a kid in the 70's was great.
  • No gunfights, no dramatic car chases, someone too a huge risk with this show! It paid off.
  • "A real old bird is the pelican. His bill holds more than his belly can. He can take in his beak enough food for a week, I'm damned if I know how the hell he can!" Coloumbo. From the "Conspirators" ~ 1978

    My favorite eps were “Any old port in a storm” and “Now you see him.” R.I.P. Peter Falk, you are missed but never forgotten. 😇
  • You can't replace Columbo, you can't replace The Munsters either. I agree, some actors are just too iconic.
  • Colombo was family television time. Peter Falk was perfect in the role.

    "Were you a witness to what he just did?"
  • And the ''Mystery Movie Theme'' by Mancini, which totally mesmerised me as a kid...

    One of my favourite shows of the past decade has been Death in Paradise, a fantastic show out of the UK and that show would not exist without Columbo.
  • Any old port in the Storm has always been my favourite. My Grandmother didn't watch a lot of TV beyond the News and Soap Opera's but Columbo was one of the things that she loved. I'm not saying that other members of my family wouldn't watch it too but we're the ones who enjoyed it the most. Even though it can feel dated now, it often used the new technology of the day as a plot device which made it so engaging at the time and the nostalgia is great now.

    If you listen closely to the voice of Peter Falk / Columbo , you can hear his " homage " to one of his favorite character actors , Humphrey Bogart
