I’ve never seen one of the later Columbos. It’s downloading as we speak. This should be interesting.
The later Columbos can be a very mixed bag, but I think you’ll enjoy this one!
watch with an open mind. The Columbo character is quite different in the later seasons. He’s more of a goofy old man. I was kind of annoyed when I first saw these episodes but I’ve come to like the old man Columbo.
not “as we speak.” as I type. you know.
My spouse and I have just watched the first chunk of it. OMG THAT FUNERAL SCENE.
Right? Very weird.
We’ve gotten to the requisite yacht club scene. I am imagining GOB seductively reading aloud: “Fraudulent psychic … with club sauce. Murder … with club sauce.”
A music video to help the characters remember how to pronounce “guillotine” (although there is the heritage to continue of Johnny Cash’s “homicide” and Peter Falk’s “robot”).
