Next on Just One More Thing: “A Bird in the Hand…”

Three murders for the price of one! That’s what you get in season eleven’s “A Bird in the Hand…,” which has Greg Evian as an inveterate gambler who plans to murder his wealthy uncle, but someone beats him to it. Who? Find it, watch it, and listen to us in a week or so! The guest will be the returning Dr. Christy Blanch.

Next on Just One More Thing: “Ransom for a Dead Man”

Going way, way back for Columbo‘s second pilot, “Ransom for a Dead Man.” Lee Grant murders her husband (pretty much just for being a boring, okay guy), then tries to cover it up with an elaborate fake kidnapping. Attorney and writer Bob Ingersoll (The Law Is a Ass) and the mysterious “Jim” will be the guests.

Next on Just One More Thing: “Word Games”

Well, that whole Mrs. Columbo/Kate Columbo/Kate Loves a Mystery thing had to come from somewhere, didn’t it? In our next one, we discuss the pilot, “Word Games.” Author Amanda Reyes (Are You In The House Alone?: A TV Movie Compendium 1964-1999) returns to take it all in. If you really want to see it beforehand, it’s on YouTube and nowhere else. But that’s entirely up to you.

Next on Just One More Thing: “The Greenhouse Jungle”

Get out your salt and pepper, it’s time to chew some scenery! In Season Two’s, “The Greenhouse Jungle,” Ray Milland happily munches every bit of the set as an evil uncle who has no problem killing off his favorite nephew in order to get at the guy’s trust fund. Joining to discuss will be Kevin Mellon (Archer).

Next on Just One More Thing: “Murder in Malibu”

Seemingly ripped from the pages of a romance novel, it’s Season Nine’s “Murder in Malibu.” Columbo has to unravel the twists and turns surrounding a writer and her two-(Or is it three? Maybe four?) timing tennis pro/actor fiancee. Joining to discuss will be critics Donna Bowman (AV Club) and Noel Murray (New York Times).

Next on Just One More Thing: “Death Hits the Jackpot”

Season Eleven’s “Death Hits the Jackpot” contains:

  • Rip Torn doing a huge Southern accent
  • Gary Kroeger
  • Columbo pulling his badge on a car salesman
  • Someone dressed as Col. Sanders accompanied by a lady dressed as a chicken
  • A chimp

So, you’ll want to see it, if you can. It’s on DVD. Alex Knapp (Forbes) will be our guest.
