I wish there was an unlimited Columbo series! Peter Falk is an amazing actor, perfectly impersonating Columbo! I cannot get enough of Columbo episodes!
He is truly unique, as a “ Homicide Detective “…. I love the line he says to his best buddy ( in real like ( the Piano 🎹 Mam - said. My bios said , he’s put me in charge of this care .. “ Homicide- that’s my Specialty “ .. as he lights his cigar and walks away.. Great exit !! Columbo is indeed the Best Television Series; I have ever enjoyed watching! 🌟🧡🌟💖🇮🇱
I will always admire how the creators of Columbo turned the detective show on its head. We always knew who the murderer was, and how they did it. The fun was in watching Columbo weave his web to implicate the guilty. It was never a "whodunit." It was, instead, a "how'd he get 'em." The Lieutenant's facade of a bumbling stooge was the perfect disguise for a steel-trap mind and a relentless pursuit of justice.
I like the episodes that don't show the full murder, only partly. Then, as we watch Columbo figure out the story, we figure out the missing parts of the murder.
Levinson and Link, creators of Columbo, were inspired by Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment. In that novel, a student murders two women in one of the early chapters of the book. A police detective, Porfiry Petrovich, suspects the student and relentlessly pursues him in a bumbling manner.
"When we find him, maybe you can read his mind" Columbo, after going on for minutes about how all of his "psychic" signals were wrong, subtly accuses him of being the murderer AND makes fun of him. Amazing writing.
Btw: That cocky director kid is the young Fisher Stevens. He also played Eugene "The Plague" Belford in Hackers (the bad guy) and also "Ben Jabituya" in "short circuit".
I love that secretary Rose. It's always funny when there's an innocent bystander who instead of becoming a material witness, ends up blackmailing the killer for profit. It only happens like 3 times in the show but it's hilarious every time.
Murder, Smoke and Shadows is a favourite later episode. Columbo plays the part of the bumbling detective so well, Brady almost enjoying his early meetings with Columbo making the same mistake by many murderers of underestimating his skills until the great detective slowly winds him up to a nervous wreck, not so cocky anymore!
Another great one is where the 2 college guys use a key fob to remotely fire a gun and kill their teacher in a parking garage...they make fun of Columbo behind his back and arrogantly think he's gullible and stupid. Even after the "gotcha" moment, they still attribute it to him getting lucky.
@@savagesword6393 Yes there were some great episodes, a few of my favourites are Murder by the book, starring Jack Cassidy (directed by Stephen Spielberg) Play Back with Oskar Werner and Catch Me if you can with Ruth Gordon.
If you keep track, you'll notice that the most arrogant of the shows criminals are always associated with show biz; a director, a producer, a Score composer...etc. they always act as if they're untouchable and Columbo is beneath them. It's a great running gag where Falk gets to do his best bumbling act.
Columbo and Monk. I wonder what they thought of eachother. Different styles but brilliant characters. Columbo holds himself close to the murderer, like a prize fighter waiting to strike. Monk holds himself close to the reasoning, probabilities and possibilities, waiting for his intuition to give him the answer, and his, 'this is what happened'. 💎💎
PETER FALK WAS , WITHOUT A DOUBT , THE BEST TV POLICE DETECTIVE OF ALL TIME. I NEVER, EVER GET TIRED OF WATCHING COLUMBO ! LOVE IT . SATISFIES EVERY TIME!😊😊😊
Agreed! But you have to admit jerry orbach on L&O and law and harry Mcgraw are a close 2nd, if not tied for 1st. If you haven't seen the latter, do yourself a favor and watch! Amazing! Sad they only made the 1 season 😢
Agreed, they were mostly a disappointment except for ones like Columbo Goes to the Guillotine and Columbo Cries Wolf (season 9 episode 2) which were better than the others.
@@Romulan2469 I also appreciated ‘It’s All in the Game’ from 1993, penned by Peter Falk. Uneven in parts, but Faye Dunaway had great chemistry with Falk and gave a solid performance.
@@Romulan2469Thanks for those pioks . I never cared for the ones I saw from that run . This kid reminded me of the one on an encyclopedia tv commercial from around that time, he talked with the unseen narrator.
Violinist Josef Suk a grandson of composer Josef Suk and great grandson of composer Antonín Dvořák loved French cars Simca, and he had similar experience with old cars. His first car was a Czech car.. Sometimes the car didn´t work so he left it on road, but it didn´t bother him because he was glad to drive a car. Columbo had a similar experience with his french car.. Sometimes the car didnt work. Josef Suk even had a collection of miniature old cars at home on his shelf. One day his job was to show the city of Prague to the famous conductor Stokovsky, so he wanted him to show his new car Simca, that he bought a two days ago. For some reason this car stopped working. So he was proud that the famous conductor Stokovsky helped him to push the car. Josef Suk said he destroyed two of these cars when he was driving from a concert, because of having a micro-sleep and he wrapped the car around the tree but nothing happened to him, having a no scratch so he stopped another car and went home. He said nothing happened to him because they are a quality cars. but it seems that its because these old cars were slower than today cars. Some british guy said they call the old cars a "friday cars" because they were made manuallly, so antyime they may stop working.
I gotta say that the directors always did a top notch job of having the guest stars to act in such a way as to consistently have you despise them by the end and the viewer always completely on side with Columbo.
I never cared much for the remade Columbo series. Patrick Bauchau, Sydney Jarod's mentor from the "Pretender show" as the killer, made it interesting for me. That show was one of my favorites as a young man in the mid 1990's.
Anyone who has ever worked in a restaurant will laugh out loud at this "bartender school" beginning. WORKBOOKS, LESSON ONE, SHIRLEY TEMPLES. GET EM RIGHT. bahahahahah
The same with the episode about the chess grandmaster :) Nothing about it was remotely realistic with regard to chess. But that's not what we love about Columbo
In some episodes, yes. But many times the evidence was quite convincing, eg. whenever he'd trick the perpetrator into removing the last bits of evidence, and catch him red-handed, with witnesses. That would likely be sufficient for a conviction.
I am a huge fan of Columbo, however......"Season 8 & The Best Of" aren't words that sit very comfortably with me, they were bloody awful !! These later seasons were hit & miss for me ( mainly miss ) although there was a few pleasant surprises, one memorable one was the movie special " Columbo Goes To College " which I still watch and enjoy. The central character had by this time changed a lot but that is a given as we all do with age, but as Peter Faulk was having more influence & control over the show it was ( for me atleast ) the beginning of the end. The Comedy element was really overbearing and at times unnecessary the show felt more like Murder She Wrote than the classic Columbo that I remember, the performances got more hammy and the acting more absurd, I'd much rather watch the earlier seasons ANY Day, that's the Columbo that I want to remember.
16:18 Columbo cringing all the time knowing that he's lying and literally just makes things up as he goes.. Ugh, it's horrible to see people scamming others this way and making spiritual people and spirituality look bad and fake. This is even cringe to me..😖
Love Comumbo, but the scene with the Russian speaking cleaning lady is !d!0tic. There’s absolutely no way she wouldn’t know a word in English, esp. the word “trash” that is part of her job. They could have done better.
Interesting/informative/entertaining. Without the special guest stars that carried him in each performance. Those episodes would have been a flop-!!!😳.
I wish there was an unlimited Columbo series! Peter Falk is an amazing actor, perfectly impersonating Columbo! I cannot get enough of Columbo episodes!
I like how the inattentive bartender remembered everything from the night before lol!
Columbo is alive and well on youtube
He traveled throught time, good for him.
Where is the Columbo Series found on you tube, if you please?
Left legacy behind
❤

Many times, Columbo did not have enough "proof" so he set traps for the perpetrator so they could hang themselves.
I like the episodes that don't show the full murder, only partly.

That's an original observation if I've ever read one. Thanks pal
Levinson and Link, creators of Columbo, were inspired by Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment. In that novel, a student murders two women in one of the early chapters of the book. A police detective, Porfiry Petrovich, suspects the student and relentlessly pursues him in a bumbling manner.
To the criminal, Columbo is like a pesky little troll who keeps getting in their way, keeps getting under their feet, until he finally trips them up.
Kérem magyarul
"When we find him, maybe you can read his mind"
Columbo, after going on for minutes about how all of his "psychic" signals were wrong, subtly accuses him of being the murderer AND makes fun of him. Amazing writing.
Peter Falk is the GOAT! Love Columbo. Greatest on screen homicide detective ever!
Lol 😅 that bar tender could tell him every move that lady made but couldn't remember how she was dressed 😅😅😅
Yes, that was genius!! 🤣🤣🤣
That's the joke
😂😂😂
I love how Columbo needled the cocky director kid to bits!😆
Btw: That cocky director kid is the young Fisher Stevens. He also played Eugene "The Plague" Belford in Hackers (the bad guy) and also "Ben Jabituya" in "short circuit".

Love the way the secretary basically blackmails the director in ‘Murder, Smoke, and Shadows”
He should have known better than to mess with Mrs. Klaxton
😂😂
@@gordoncamacho8649 No, he should have tried the salmon! 😁
The director kid is a homage to Steven Spielberg who worked on the original series.
And this is why Columbo is my favorite detective! He always gets the killer!! 😅
Seeing the scene with that Russian woman as a speaker of both languages was so funny

"Sir, what is small and green? And can go up and down?"
Columbo is great in every season!!! 👍👍
Gotta love the side characters in this show.
Wasn't expecting to hear actual russian instead of usual hollywood gibberish, but getting ukrainian actress was a nice touch.
She went hard too. Must have recalled her last argument with the husband, the dialog would be nearly identical
LOVE COLUMBO !! THE ULTIMATE DETECTIVE!!!
Gotta love how Columbo gives his target false hope by saying he's leaving 😂😂😂. He's like a cat playing with its prey 😂
I love Columbo
I was never a fan of the later episodes, but did like ‘Columbo Goes to the Guillotine’. Interesting story, decent acting, directing was on point.

Not "always".. Many villains were not despicable.
Love to see columbo someday work alongside MONK 😅
Monk wouldnt get near him. I could see Columbo handing his dog to Adrian.
They need 2 bring this series back!
With whom? Could anyone match Falk's brilliance.
Hw Abt Scott Caan?
Dear God please no
LOL the trash scenes brought back memories xDD watchign this show with my mom, or rather, being around as she watched XD
The bar tender was one of my favorites
Excellent episode......
God dammit now I can’t enjoy french fries… I curse you. LOL
Still good after all these years.
Even with the language barrier, the Russian housekeeping lady isn't the sharpest tool in the shed.
A Shirley Temple? Club soda and cherry juice, right? No alcohol.
GREAT ACTOR.
Seasson 8 started 2nd run of columbo, not many people believe is as good as first run, maybe in time they will be appreciated more.
18:21 is that Oden Riecher from Elementary, how did he look younger in that than in this
Oh, Columbo knows it was you, buddy... 😏
I LOVE PETER FALK, and all the MANY FILMS, HE STARRED IN, LONG BEFORE, HIS "TIMELESS ,and PRICELESS, COLUMBO" Thank You ...:)
10:20
*WHERE DO YA PUT THE T R A S H ?*
People think hes a dolt till he all of a sudden murderer falls into his trap
He blew the smoke on her, drank a cocktail and paid nothing. Again.
A superannuated actor still chasing the moon.

1 hour
Over 1k views
I honestly thought I was the only one binge watching columbo
Nope!! We all do!! 😅
Grande Trash might be up there with Serpentine, Shel.
Fisher Stevens I believe was with Michelle Pfeiffer at that time. It's funny they wrote the victims name as Fisher too.
Question- why can’t you play the entire episode?
Copyright?!?!?😅
I'm pretty sure Colombo was the only person in California who wore a trenchcoat.
SOCAL rarely rains so they dont even SELL trenchcoats down there.
!
Perhaps he purchased it in 'NorCal' while visiting (before his appearance in Ransom For a Dead Man).
But trenchcoats are de rigoure for detectives!😂😂😂
2:54 Hey it's the guy Phoebe was dating 😄
Anyone who has ever worked in a restaurant will laugh out loud at this "bartender school" beginning.
WORKBOOKS, LESSON ONE, SHIRLEY TEMPLES. GET EM RIGHT.
bahahahahah
The same with the episode about the chess grandmaster :) Nothing about it was remotely realistic with regard to chess. But that's not what we love about Columbo
Mr. Kardashian is a cab driver? Well the Kardashians have come a long way.
Columbo's evidence was so shaky the Judge would have thrown him and the scriptwriter in prison.
You're confusing then with now, murderers walk free and innocent go to jail! Ha
In some episodes, yes. But many times the evidence was quite convincing, eg. whenever he'd trick the perpetrator into removing the last bits of evidence, and catch him red-handed, with witnesses. That would likely be sufficient for a conviction.
My favorite movie are the one with Colombo
❤🎉😊 Супер фильм, круто ❤
الحلقه كامل لو سمحت
The cab driver’s name is Kardashian? I wonder if he was related to Robert
The cab driver was Iranian, Robert Kardashian was of Armenian descent.
Karsasian, no H
He plays the bumbling fool but he's sly like a little elf..
I would loved to have met him in real life.
It’s a shadow of the seventies run. Overdone and overplayed. Campy and still enjoyable but no where near as sharp or clever.
Really.Uhm.
....just one more thing,Sr,..🖐🖐
12:23 it looks like fine dining but the waitress serves the man before he serves the woman. How odd.
Very odd indeed, almost rehearsed I suppose... 😉
Only problem there's no full movies on utoob
oh yeah, one more thing
**Heavy sfx**
Colombo, aslında o sabırlı bir avcı
There is no season 8; There is only season 5 & 6 & 7
9:12 Men in the ladies room then “SHAME” men in the ladies room now “Inclusivity”
He did so well even later years but really prefer the 70s episodes the most
Did columbo become more vindictive as he got older
??
Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes
Had to turn it of...not even close

These are not the key scenes from Colombo . In my opinion there are a waste of time
Yes yes yes

I wouldn't try it
