Don't let the weird criticisms get you down. These videos are excellent. And anyway, with all the hard work you do, including tracking down the extras and giving them some recognition is impressive, and very kind of you. Secondly, voice over work is not as easy as a lot of people seem to think it is. I think you do a great job.
I’m an independent film maker and I have no idea how she can identify so many people, it’s brilliant. Like “400+ uncredited roles” and I’m thinking _uncredited? Then how does she know…?_
@@WatchitforDays Evidently! I think you’re awesome. Social media comes with trolls & criticisms, that’s just the price to pay.

Whenever some viewer comes to my defense so I don;t have to respond, it’s very satisfying.
@@WatchitforDaysI just found your channel a few days ago and have subscribed and have been watching the videos since. I also found a name you mispronounced but did not see anything be about it because that would be mean.
OMG - I only found out your channel yesterday and I am in heaven! I am Columbo-obsessed and probably know by heart all scripts of all episodes (Italian version). Your comments and edits are excellent, thank you so much for the hard work. xx
I am a huge fan of Columbo and purchased the complete set of the Columbo series just one month ago. Now binge watching this wonderful actor dominate the screen. Oh, just one more thing, your forensic work in creating this clip is terrific. Totally love it. Well done!
Production-wise; this is by far the most fascinating episode. It is clear that this must have been a logistical nightmare to produce. So many questions... How did they make this on a real building site? Were the construction workers paid as extras? (There are so many extras in this episode!)
I have read that the "authorities" wanted to punish Peter Falk for his work-to-rule campaign in previous episodes. They promised him an episode to direct and this ended up being the only one left. He was finally allowed to direct and they made it as difficult as possible with this shooting site etc. But he managed to create a very entertaining episode in spite of it.
@@LoveThoseTunes11 Yes; quite true; although Falk's action might be more accurately described as a work slowdown, than as a strict work-to-rule campaign; albeit, it may in fact be the case; as it seems, that it was; in greatest correctness, a combination of both.
To: "@EnglishAddict": I'm totally agreed: the outcomes of her own video productions, that she consistently creates, must involve enormous difficulties, that are constantly marvelous victories!
Agreed Vince. For years anytime I got a DVD (remember them?) I went straight to the 'how was it done and/or other info' bit - very interesting and fascinating.
I am blown away by your skills as an analyst. You break down every scene with precision and purpose. I have been a Columbo fan for many years and never came across the things you have picked up. If Columbo ever needed a partner I would gladly choose you. Thank you for all your hard work. Your Season 1 analysis was brilliant!!!! Congratulations on a job well done. Look forward to Season 2. Take care. 🙂🙂🙂
10:06 - Bo's 6 shooter is "ba-ack". 18:08 '. . . you'll be buried in commissions." As opposed to Bo, buried in concrete. (Or in a trunk) 38:30 Obviously, Goldie was shaving her arm and called it her leg. I love these SO MUCH! Thank you, once again. Glad you aren't going away. 🥰
How have I NEVER noticed that Bo has guns on his car doors?? That's such a brilliant and bizarre detail. Also I certainly wasn't expecting to see Last Action Hero of all things get a mention in this one, maybe after you get through all the Columbos we'll get a Schwarzenegger review series? 😜 Can't wait for Season 2!
Haha, It's amazing to learn who has seen Last Action Hero in the comments. I've thought a lot about what I'm going to do when I finish Columbo... Although, at the rate I'm going, I still have plenty of time to think about it. Love Schwarzenegger films, by the way. Thank you very much, Adam, for your kindness!!!
I've been checking your channel regularly for your next review. Again, another superb review. Your hard work and attention to detail is, I'm sure, appreciated by many.
Praise the spying algorithm that showed me your channel. Recently binged the original Columbo series and now diving into your videos. I love everything about the way you present them and especially the info about all of the background and uncredited actors you somehow find. Hopefully more people find your channel ASAP. your work deserves a bigger audience. Just look at your likes to comment ratio. It’s really amazing engagement.
I watch all of your episodes again and again (as well as the original episodes, currently at A Deadly State of Mind) , so each new release from you is fantastic! They add so much to the reviewing experience
WOW WOW WOW...You put such tremendous effort into your work. Love Columbo and your in-depth analysis adds to the enjoyment of these episodes! You also have an alluring and captivating voice that just makes one want to continue listening wondering who's face is behind the voice!
@@WatchitforDays Still making soaps? Did you get around to making lemon shaped soap? Ransom for a dead man is one of my favorites. I actually think Margaret is cute in a preppy kind of way.
@@robertskeets5123 Yep, I still make soap! But I have not made any lemon shaped soaps, yet. I really should. I agree with you, Margaret is cute in her own way :)
I’m hooked ! Nice to know there are others who appreciate the brilliance of these shows. I just subscribed and I love your sense of humor, observations and I know how much work went into each of these episodes. Much appreciated!
"I guess that makes your choice of hat more believable"! I burst out laughing! "I never noticed buildings either until that lecture." Another superb line! "Shirtless construction guy is still working on his tan and other work-related injuries"! Beautiful!
Must have been a nightmare editing trough the copyright minefield, +1 for the effort! You have my respect, Blue print for murder is one of my best Columbo episodes and you did a great job reviewing it!
The musical selection that plays when the architect suddenly shows up behind Bo in his car is “Yakkity Sax”! Thank you for all your good research work with these Colombo episodes! Really enjoy them.
Just to clarify: Yakkity Sax is the Benny Hill theme, not that thing Bo was playing. But I'd like to find out who did perform that assault on my ears. I know you said that, Marc, but it reads a little confusing.
Thank you so much for these! You...whoever you are....the woman narrating these videos....you are awesome! Thank you. The Peacock app just moved the Columbo episodes from free to premium. Sadly. I did watch this episode fairly recently, so it's relatively fresh in my mind.
another great video!! no one else makes columbo videos quite like you, its amazing how much work you put into researching and finding out so many neat fun facts and background history behind each episode :)
These videos are absolutely brilliant. Not just in the editing and insightful content, both superlative by themselves, but in the interesting context provided at every turn, polished by such witty commentary moreover (laughed aloud at your description of Bo Williamson's choice of music). Thank you so much for making these, please keep creating!
I discovered your channel only recently and I'm glad I did. Being a Columbo aficionado for decades I can deeply appreciate the little extra piece of information you provide us with. I started wondering how you might feel about the "Last salute to the Commodore"-episode, since it seems to be (to my surprise) the least popular amongst fans.
Thank you, Andy! I appreciate your kindness. You'll get to hear all about my Last Salute to the Commodore opinions when we get there ;) Is that episode one of your favorites?
@@WatchitforDays In a way it is, even though I have many favorites for various reasons. Some I love for the photography (Greenhouse Jungle), some I love for the cast (Johnny Cash, Oskar Werner, Leonard Nimoy) and some I love for the quirkiness, and that's where "Last salute to the Commodore" comes in. It's so unlike any other episode and one has the feeling that they really had a blast filming it. The episodes I like the least are those where Columbo is out of his natural habitat (jurisdiction). :)
@@AndyMangele That is very interesting. Thank you for sharing that. Last Salute is definitely quirky. I'm looking forward to digging into that episode in the future.
Goldie is one of my favorite female characters. She was a strong woman self aware. Unlike most women in Columbo she is not wimpy, crying, whining, nor a drunk. Goldie and the wife in Troubled Waters are great.
I feel the same way. Goldie and the wife in troubled waters were strong independent female characters. Unlike the one Dick Van Dyke tied up. Lol. I love what the wife in troubled waters said to Columbo about God help him if he ever crossed her. I can’t remember the exact line but the way she said it and then the look on Columbos face. 😂 I love it.
RIP to Janis Paige. She just passed away three weeks ago. Three months shy of her 102! birthday. I first ran across her in an episode of The Mary Tyler Moore show.
Such a sharp eye you've got, seeing all the continuity errors most of us won't see. Thank you for your incredibly cool narration and your tone of voice. You did a good job once again!
Thanks so much for posting this insightful review! I really appreciate all the details, including the names of the minor actors who made a good living by being regulars on the various Columbo episodes. In particular, I am grateful to you for mentioning the doctor's name -- John Fiedler. You did a lot of research on this post, and I applaud your dedication to Columbo fans. I actually remember the original episodes on TV back in the 1970s. Thank you again and again!
This is why RUclips was invented, for engaging & creative channels like this one. At last I don't feel alone in being totally intrigued by this TV series since watching my first episode back in the early 70's as a teen. Though it is obvious that the maker of this entertaining channel was not born when this series was first aired, is considerably knowledgeable on the subject. Love the references to other wonderful TV serials of the time which were also a massive part of my childhood years growing up. Looking forward to other Columbo episodes being lovingly scrutinized in this enjoyable way. I am sure Peter himself would approve.
@@WatchitforDays It as made my day that you have read my comment. I think you have a unique channel in the way you put it together in such an entertaining way. You create an ambiance that is in keeping with the show. Can't wait to watch the next one. Thank you.
This is my first visit to your site. I've never before heard such a detailed movie review. Your research is impressive. Great writing and narration. Thank you.
I love your work and attention to detail... AMAZING!!! One suggestion: I always used to like taking note of the time when he first appeared in each episode. If I remember correctly, it was usually about the 15 minute mark. I always wondered if perhaps that was part of his contract demands (no more than and hour) 🤷♂️ Perhaps you could add that to your FANTASTIC ANALYSIS!!! 🤞🙏 I also love that you respond to your fans, RESPECT ❤️
Always a treat to get a new vid!! This is an episode, like Short Fuse, that I don't usually intentionally cue up but this kind of deep dive makes it fun.
Nice! The street view thing blows my mind Such diligence. Thats some Columbo level of preparedness. "One more thing there's a Starbucks there now ,you know my wife she loves the pumpkin spice lattes...point? No point"
Another amazing review of a Columbo episode, Shonna. I wonder if you or Peter Falk put the most effort in his work. You have such a great sense of humour and observation, it’s amazing. Thank you for the great work, I’m already looking for the next episode. 😘
The last cassette is, as you said, Songs I Like To Sing by Tennessee Ernie Ford. He is definitely country but it isn't a country album. A variety of different types of music. Another terrific video. It takes me while to watch your videos. So much fun information that brings me back to my younger days. Some I haven't thought of in years. I have to pause your video and look them up to reminisce. You mentioned Robin and the 7 Hoods movie. It's a musical/comedy about 1930's Chicago gangs. One of the running gags in the movie is that some people get murdered and have to have their body disposed of. The people killed end up in cement and as part of buildings.
Thank you very much for taking the time to write this wonderful comment. I loved learning that you pause the video to look up some things to reminisce about. I still need to get a hold of a copy of Robin and the 7 Hoods. Very good connection between that movie and this episode!
@@WatchitforDays Your videos are great. They are fun and funny. You put a lot of work in them. Peter is great in Robin and the Seven Hoods. If you haven't seen it, there is a video called "Lt. Columbo (Peter Falk) Roasts Frank Sinatra (1978)". I think you'll really enjoy it.
These Columbo reviews are just excellent and all the additional information is great. I have watched them all and find them so interesting. Ignore any negativity . I hope you continue
Love these videos. Great, funny, informative, interesting commentary. Never subscribed to any channel before but there’s a lot of hard work put into these and the subscription is deserved.
I discovered your Columbo deep dive videos about a week ago, and they are now one of my favorite things on RUclips. I am watching them in order, and I just finished Blueprint For Murder. With the end of Season 1, I pause to congratulate you for your excellent work. My mother and I watched Columbo when I was a kid in the 70s, and then I was Lt. Columbo for Halloween in 1988 and 1989, when the series was revived. Those were two of the only times I ever smoked anything. I also own the entire series on DVD. Besides your easygoing and conversational narration, your meticulous attention to detail (did you ever identify the blue and white cassette in Forest Tucker's car with Stephen Stills and Grand Funk Railroad?) is incredibly refreshing. My similar "brand" is what I call "interrogating memory," but that is a story for a different time. :) On to Season 2, and the late great John Cassavetes! Oh...just one more thing. Your running commentary on the narcissistic egoism required of Columbo villains is spot on. And it may answer a question that had not occurred to me: how is that after so many high-profile cases, nobody knows who Lt. Columbo is? While the simplest answer is that he does a very good job of keeping his own name out of the press (easier in the early 70s than now, perhaps), it may be that all these killers know exactly who Lt. Columbo is, and their vanity leads them to believe *they* will be the one finally to fool him. But they never do, because Lt. Columbo is a very individual person.
Your comment made my whole day 😁 The cassette tape I couldn't identify at the time is Tennessee Ernie Ford's album Songs I Like to Sing. If you watch my Season 1 or Season 2 review compilation, I correct mistakes I made in the original upload as well as add information that I didn't know yet. I include the Ernie Ford info in that video. That's awesome you dressed as Columbo for Halloween! I'm sure glad you found my channel 😊
@@WatchitforDays I am glad my comment made your day - and that you resolved the cassette mystery. I lived in DC in October 1988. A work colleague invited me to her Halloween party. I showed up in character, down to the raincoat, notepad and cigar. When she opened the door, she went right into character, pretending to be irritated by my presence. It was a nice bit of improv on her part, and I happily played along. The only other thing I recall is a bunch of us sitting on her floor smoking cigars. I never smoked otherwise, so it was an experience. The coat and cigars are long gone, but I still have the notepad. I used stuff I wrote in it at the time when I researched my first book, which was inspired (unconsciously) by Lt. Columbo's meticulous attention to detail. Anyway, on to Ray Milland's greenhouse! :)
Very cool how you figured out where they filmed and compared it to today. I live in LA and go through Century City (back lot of 20th Century Fox gives it its name). The office Williamson pulls into at the beginning was the longtime home of the Friars Club, home to those great Dean Martin Roasts, btw. 😊
Another lovely, funny, careful & caring review. Well done! Again! Glad to hear you intend to carry on. (PS Is Bo's hood ornament not a repurposed lighter from another episode? You know - one of those big-sized ones that some people like?)
Now this is what I call a review! Would not be out of place on mainstream TV. Absolutely first class and delivered with such wit, knowledge and personality.
Another great review. It is evident you put a lot of time and effort into these reviews. I like the references to other episodes and details on the other actors. When Columbo noticed the discrepancy in musical genres in the car, I realize this was an important clue in his reasoning. However, I am one of those people who like both country and classical music so this would not be unusual for me. The ending was clever. That scene when he had a flat tire with the body in the trunk was classic. Burying the body underneath a building (that had already been searched) was clever but Columbo was two steps ahead as usual. He looked like a deer in headlights.
Your deep research and polished presentation are exemplary. I’ve watched all Columbo episodes many times, and enjoyed every moment. Your analysis adds another dimension. Thank you.
I discovered your channel yesterday and it’s great see get this detailed info about the actors in the episodes. I’ve already subbed. Thank you for all the work you’re doing.
Really well done! Very entertaining, as all of them are! Great facts, background stories, Google Map of locations, and even a little translation of Japanese!
I love Columbo and now I love your reviews. I Love your attention details that are delivered quick enough to make you appreciate the episode even more. Thank you for your service.
Thanks for doing this. I always look forward to these. I love your attention to detail and your sense of humor. You're very funny and you have the perfect voice for this. By the way Forest Tucker was in a little known series called The Ghost Busters with his F Troop co star Larry Storch. Makes me wonder if that's where the movie got its name. Keep up the good work. Big fan of yours.
Thank you very much, John, for all your kindness and encouragement! I also appreciate you sharing some Forrest Tucker information, love it! See you for season 2.
"My wife is crazy about music." Brenner: "Really? Classical?" "Yeah, Beethoven, whats-his-name, the guy that wrote Marriage of Figaro..." Brenner: "Mozart." "That fella." Your videos are great🥣 I love how you point out the silliness, like Benny Hill😄 Columbo never wrote or directed himself(ok once;) And he never quit til the job was done🙋🏻♂️🚙
I loved reading your little dialogue between Columbo and Brenner. I could hear and see it play out! I'm so glad you enjoy the videos, thank you very much ❤️
Your videos renewed my love for this great TV series. After watching my first "watch it for days" video, I thought it would take away from viewing a complete episode, but it enhanced the experience. The internet has brought out a ton of creativity from people all over the world.
I feel bad about pointing out your mistake in the Short Fuse review, 2 years late, I will just say BRAVA! & well done. I enjoy your reviews immensely, all the little details that I get fixated on, all of the uncredited extras, the history and the little props that you give attention to… you videos are everything I could ask for… thank you! Now I have finished season one & on to season two 🎉
Another awesome job. Love the Last Action Hero, and Loaded Weapon references. The scene where Colt consecutively steps on tobacco conveyances, has always been a fave... as I [honestly] proclaim that I wrote that, when I was in elementary school. It has my puerility all over it. I don't know this definitively, but I have always interpreted the term "Jackson Boy" as meaning that Markham, and his work, are worth about twenty bucks. A low-grade Architect. I totally agree that Peter Falk worked very hard. When you compare the complexity of the scenes, sites, and shots to anything that preceded this one, one can clearly see the extra effort. One can clearly envision him doing so.
Thank you very much for taking the time to write this amazing comment, Gavin. I was hoping I had a few Last Action Hero and Loaded Weapon fans 😊 Also, thank you for your input on the "Jackson" question I had.
@@WatchitforDays No worries :) I can spout "180, you stupid spaghetti-slurping cretin. 180! If I did a 360, I'd go completely around and end up back where I started!" with the best of them.
My favorite episode of the series. Absolutely love the ending. Truly the epitome of the cat-and-mouse game that so many episodes set up, but none as perfect as this
Thank you for all that you do! I always enjoy your videos and it's obvious that you do your homework! I'm 49 years old and still enjoy Columbo and your reviews! ❤️
17:23 "Dubbed over" is now known as ADR but was then known as "looping". A loop of the take cycled in a projector and the talent was recorded as they watched over and over and attempted to match the lips. Now it's all computers with stops and starts. I never got to loop but I have done ADR. (something something [probably Automated] Dialogue Replacement.) Dubbing is when they take finished foreign work and replace it with English. Doesn't pay much but it's easy.
I truly appreciate your kindness in educating me on the terms! You were very clear without demeaning me in the process. Some people have difficulty doing that!
@@WatchitforDays I appreciate your thorough researching, and gave a like and subscribe after watching your analysis of "The Most Crucial Game", the first of yours I followed. I've just starting watching this one, and stopped as soon as you brought up the detail of feet being shown before faces at the beginning, and gave other examples. I was about to add _Strangers on a Train_ to the list, when I saw that Bobby Duvet already mentioned it, so kudos to him. (I arrived late to the party, and that's what happens. 😏) However, I can add a little, because I found a video featuring the opening of Hitchcock's film, and for the better part of the first two minutes he not only restricts the view of the two main characters to their feet, but also everyone else, as well. It's another example of the master's innovative approach, and one which all the later "feet first" directors probably consciously copied to a greater or lesser degree: ruclips.net/video/7bjA-4no1ZY/видео.html
Excellent commentary, Shonna. From 'down low' to 'on high' you 'effortlessly' cover the whole picture and tie things together for our pleasure. I can just about bring together a Twitter comment so recognize your achievement.
What a treat and what a journey! I just started watching the show last week, (watching an episode or two a day) then watching your fabulous analyses have enriched the experience incredibly. I'm just a little sad I'm now caught up to the point of your observations. I will have to go along without them and look forward to your next review's premiere!
It's very fun to watch your deep dive series. I am a huge fan of Columbo since I was in primary school. Your investigation and Japanese translation are perfect. I'm looking forward to another episodes.
Shonna! You're on a roll! Closing in on a full hour now. This isn't one of my favorites but like you said, it wasn't Peter Falk's fault, he could only do so much with the material given to him. The villain just didn't grab me like usual. I liked the gotcha at the end and my favorite scene is definitely the sequence where our detective has to deal with the slow-as-molasses government bureaucracy and long lines. Some things never change...thank goodness for smart phones, eh? Anyways, you're not going anywhere...and we couldn't be happier!
You are soooooo kind, Evan, thank you! And thanks for sharing your thoughts on the episode, too. I love reading other people's opinions. Have a fantastic week!
Jackson boy is someone born with a silver spoon in their mouth. One meaning of Jackson for a boy is, "God has been gracious; has shown favor". Based on John or Jacques (Jack). Jackson also has the meaning, Son of Jack.
I really enjoy your videos and enjoy listening to your discussion of the Columbo Episodes. The information on the actors is so interesting. I have enjoyed Columbo over the years - such a great show.
In 1963 my brother and I visited the Century City construction site to watch the Beverly Hillbillies being filmed. There were two buildings in Century City at the time, Gateways East and West. The Clampetts built a bank for Mister Drysdale in that episode. I was thrilled to pieces.
@@WatchitforDays - whatever is relevant will manifest in the consciousness. Columbo has so many cool triggers for me of a beautiful decade, the seventies.
These are just amazing, brilliant videos. Been working my way through them, so many great details and interesting facts. Love your sense of humour too! It is a very funny show and it's good that you've tuned so closely into all the amusing details that makes it such a pleasure to watch over and over.
I couldn't tell you why, but this is my number 1 episode. Troubled Waters #2. Cannot wait till you get to that one. This was truly a wonderful breakdown, as usual.
I literally don't know how you do it! Those Google Map location shots are SO cool- Aaaaand now you're translating Japanese. Yep. Of course. Not even surprised.

Production-wise; this is by far the most fascinating episode.
It is clear that this must have been a logistical nightmare to produce.
So many questions... How did they make this on a real building site?
Were the construction workers paid as extras? (There are so many extras in this episode!)
I don't have any answers at the moment but they are great questions!

Yes; quite true; although Falk's action might be more accurately described as a work slowdown, than as a strict work-to-rule campaign; albeit, it may in fact be the case; as it seems, that it was; in greatest correctness, a combination of both.

WOW WOW WOW...You put such tremendous effort into your work. Love Columbo and your in-depth analysis adds to the enjoyment of these episodes! You also have an alluring and captivating voice that just makes one want to continue listening wondering who's face is behind the voice!
You are incredibly kind, Robert! Thank you!
@@WatchitforDays You are very welcome!
@@WatchitforDays Still making soaps? Did you get around to making lemon shaped soap? Ransom for a dead man is one of my favorites. I actually think Margaret is cute in a preppy kind of way.
@@robertskeets5123 Yep, I still make soap! But I have not made any lemon shaped soaps, yet. I really should. I agree with you, Margaret is cute in her own way :)
@@WatchitforDays I looked her up and sadly she passed away.
I was born a few months after this episode aired. Love this episode and my friends call me Goldie!
That's amazing!
I’m hooked ! Nice to know there are others who appreciate the brilliance of these shows. I just subscribed and I love your sense of humor, observations and I know how much work went into each of these episodes. Much appreciated!
Thank you very much for your kindness and great encouragement, Mark! I appreciate it ❤️
"I guess that makes your choice of hat more believable"! I burst out laughing!
"I never noticed buildings either until that lecture." Another superb line!
"Shirtless construction guy is still working on his tan and other work-related injuries"! Beautiful!
😁 Thank you very much! I'm so happy you enjoyed that
I love Columbo and your Channel. Thank you very much. You are Awesome! Please continue with the rest of the Columbo episodes. Take care.
I really appreciate that! I will certainly continue
Another most excellent review. I almost look forward to your reviews more than the episodes. Thank you
You are so kind, thank you, Uncle Bob
Must have been a nightmare editing trough the copyright minefield, +1 for the effort! You have my respect, Blue print for murder is one of my best Columbo episodes and you did a great job reviewing it!
Thank you very much, loonix! I appreciate your kindness :)
Another great recap! Your attention to detail is quite admirable. Can’t wait for season two!
Thank you very much, Holly! I appreciate your kindness so much! ❤️
Congratulations on finishing season one. 🎉
I look forward to you starting season two.😁
Thank you! It feels good to finish Season 1.
The musical selection that plays when the architect suddenly shows up behind Bo in his car is “Yakkity Sax”!
Thank you for all your good research work with these Colombo episodes! Really enjoy them.
Well it certainly was not yakety sax as that was the Benny Hill theme. Was similar though.
Thank you very much, Kimberly :)
Just to clarify: Yakkity Sax is the Benny Hill theme, not that thing Bo was playing. But I'd like to find out who did perform that assault on my ears.
I know you said that, Marc, but it reads a little confusing.
Great job, so much work went into this, thank you!
Thank you very much, Kim! ❤️
Thank you so much for these! You...whoever you are....the woman narrating these videos....you are awesome! Thank you.
The Peacock app just moved the Columbo episodes from free to premium. Sadly. I did watch this episode fairly recently, so it's relatively fresh in my mind.
I am so happy to know you're enjoying the videos, Brad :)
another great video!! no one else makes columbo videos quite like you, its amazing how much work you put into researching and finding out so many neat fun facts and background history behind each episode :)
I'm so happy to know you're enjoying the videos! Thank you for your kindness :)
These videos are absolutely brilliant. Not just in the editing and insightful content, both superlative by themselves, but in the interesting context provided at every turn, polished by such witty commentary moreover (laughed aloud at your description of Bo Williamson's choice of music). Thank you so much for making these, please keep creating!
Your comment made my whole day! Thank you very much ❤️ I plan to keep going all the way through to the final Columbo episode.
Thanks!
Thank YOU
I discovered your channel only recently and I'm glad I did.
Being a Columbo aficionado for decades I can deeply appreciate
the little extra piece of information you provide us with.
I started wondering how you might feel about the "Last salute to the Commodore"-episode, since it seems to be (to my surprise) the least popular amongst fans.
Thank you, Andy! I appreciate your kindness. You'll get to hear all about my Last Salute to the Commodore opinions when we get there ;) Is that episode one of your favorites?
@@WatchitforDays In a way it is, even though I have many favorites for various reasons. Some I love for the photography (Greenhouse Jungle), some I love for the cast (Johnny Cash, Oskar Werner, Leonard Nimoy) and some I love for the quirkiness, and that's where "Last salute to the Commodore" comes in. It's so unlike any other episode and one has the feeling that they really had a blast filming it. The episodes I like the least are those where Columbo is out of his natural habitat (jurisdiction). :)
@@AndyMangele That is very interesting. Thank you for sharing that. Last Salute is definitely quirky. I'm looking forward to digging into that episode in the future.
Glad I found this channel! I enjoy your presentation style and especially the trivia. Keep em coming!
Thank you very much! I'm glad you're here 😊
Goldie is one of my favorite female characters. She was a strong woman self aware. Unlike most women in Columbo she is not wimpy, crying, whining, nor a drunk.
Goldie and the wife in Troubled Waters are great.
Yes! I absolutely agree with you!
Janis Paige was wonderful. Tyne Daley, however, is the greatest of the 'broads', a dear friend of Falk and the ONLY woman he kissed on the series.
I feel the same way. Goldie and the wife in troubled waters were strong independent female characters. Unlike the one Dick Van Dyke tied up. Lol. I love what the wife in troubled waters said to Columbo about God help him if he ever crossed her. I can’t remember the exact line but the way she said it and then the look on Columbos face. 😂 I love it.
RIP to Janis Paige. She just passed away three weeks ago. Three months shy of her 102! birthday. I first ran across her in an episode of The Mary Tyler Moore show.
Such a sharp eye you've got, seeing all the continuity errors most of us won't see. Thank you for your incredibly cool narration and your tone of voice. You did a good job once again!
I sure appreciate your extremely generous comment! Thank you very much 😊
Thanks so much for posting this insightful review! I really appreciate all the details, including the names of the minor actors who made a good living by being regulars on the various Columbo episodes. In particular, I am grateful to you for mentioning the doctor's name -- John Fiedler. You did a lot of research on this post, and I applaud your dedication to Columbo fans. I actually remember the original episodes on TV back in the 1970s. Thank you again and again!
What a wonderfully encouraging comment, thank you very much, Pat!
This is why RUclips was invented, for engaging & creative channels like this one. At last I don't feel alone in being totally intrigued by this TV series since watching my first episode back in the early 70's as a teen. Though it is obvious that the maker of this entertaining channel was not born when this series was first aired, is considerably knowledgeable on the subject. Love the references to other wonderful TV serials of the time which were also a massive part of my childhood years growing up. Looking forward to other Columbo episodes being lovingly scrutinized in this enjoyable way. I am sure Peter himself would approve.
I am so happy you like my Columbo videos 😊 Your comment is very encouraging!
@@WatchitforDays It as made my day that you have read my comment. I think you have a unique channel in the way you put it together in such an entertaining way. You create an ambiance that is in keeping with the show. Can't wait to watch the next one. Thank you.
Yeah, a new episode!
I love your editing, especially when you think about your rating 54:52 and how you stacked the episodes at 56:21, that was neat.
Thank you very much, Dirk! I appreciate that :)
I can’t stress enough how much I love these videos. An exceptional job that I’ve been binging in order for days. Couldn’t be better.
That means a lot to me, thank you!
I've recently been obsessed with columbo and your deep dives have been a great find. Love your work.
Thank you very much!
This is my first visit to your site. I've never before heard such a detailed movie review. Your research is impressive. Great writing and narration. Thank you.
I'm so glad you're here! Thank you
I love your work and attention to detail... AMAZING!!!
One suggestion: I always used to like taking note of the time when he first appeared in each episode. If I remember correctly, it was usually about the 15 minute mark. I always wondered if perhaps that was part of his contract demands (no more than and hour) 🤷♂️
Perhaps you could add that to your FANTASTIC ANALYSIS!!! 🤞🙏
I also love that you respond to your fans, RESPECT ❤️
You are sooo kind! Thank you, Paul! That is a great thought about the time thing.
@@WatchitforDays 🙏🤞🙏🤞🙏
Always a treat to get a new vid!! This is an episode, like Short Fuse, that I don't usually intentionally cue up but this kind of deep dive makes it fun.
I'm so happy to know you enjoy it :)
Nice!
The street view thing blows my mind
Such diligence.
Thats some Columbo level of preparedness.
"One more thing there's a Starbucks there now ,you know my wife she loves the pumpkin spice lattes...point? No point"
Haha, thank you very much, Jason! And I could hear Columbo saying that line about the Starbucks❤️
Love these! The work and attention to every detail is amazing!
Thank you very much!!
What a fantastic birthday present! Looking forward to this! Thank you Shonna!!
Aww, thank you, Betty Jane! ❤️
What a great review, summary & observation. So fun. Wow. I'm a huge Columbo fan and I didn't know these were so loaded with fun facts. Loved this!
Thank you very much, John! It's good to know you enjoyed the video :)
Another amazing review of a Columbo episode, Shonna. I wonder if you or Peter Falk put the most effort in his work. You have such a great sense of humour and observation, it’s amazing. Thank you for the great work, I’m already looking for the next episode. 😘
Thank you very much for your wonderfully encouraging words, Jean-Pierre ❤️
It’s so much fun reliving these columbo episodes on this RUclips channel. You are so observant! And I love your wry humor.
I really appreciate that and I'm so glad you're enjoying them ❤️
The last cassette is, as you said, Songs I Like To Sing by Tennessee Ernie Ford.
He is definitely country but it isn't a country album. A variety of different types of music.
Another terrific video. It takes me while to watch your videos. So much fun information that brings me back to my younger days. Some I haven't thought of in years. I have to pause your video and look them up to reminisce. You mentioned Robin and the 7 Hoods movie. It's a musical/comedy about 1930's Chicago gangs. One of the running gags in the movie is that some people get murdered and have to have their body disposed of. The people killed end up in cement and as part of buildings.
Thank you very much for taking the time to write this wonderful comment. I loved learning that you pause the video to look up some things to reminisce about. I still need to get a hold of a copy of Robin and the 7 Hoods. Very good connection between that movie and this episode!
@@WatchitforDays Your videos are great. They are fun and funny. You put a lot of work in them. Peter is great in Robin and the Seven Hoods. If you haven't seen it, there is a video called "Lt. Columbo (Peter Falk) Roasts Frank Sinatra (1978)". I think you'll really enjoy it.
I have seen that roast! I got a kick out of it. I'm trying to figure out when I can reference it in a video some day.
@@WatchitforDays If it is possible. I'm sure you'll think of something.
Love love love your commentary, and can't believe how in depth your extras research is, wow. These are great, thank you!
I am so glad you're enjoying them!!!
Your detail analysis is above and beyond, girl. But very much appreciated.
I appreciate that, JL77, thank you :)
These Columbo reviews are just excellent and all the additional information is great. I have watched them all and find them so interesting. Ignore any negativity . I hope you continue
I'm working on the next episode right now. Thanks for being here ❤️
Love these videos. Great, funny, informative, interesting commentary. Never subscribed to any channel before but there’s a lot of hard work put into these and the subscription is deserved.
Thank you very very much, Louise! I truly appreciate your kindness and encouragement ❤️
I discovered your Columbo deep dive videos about a week ago, and they are now one of my favorite things on RUclips. I am watching them in order, and I just finished Blueprint For Murder. With the end of Season 1, I pause to congratulate you for your excellent work.
My mother and I watched Columbo when I was a kid in the 70s, and then I was Lt. Columbo for Halloween in 1988 and 1989, when the series was revived. Those were two of the only times I ever smoked anything. I also own the entire series on DVD.
Besides your easygoing and conversational narration, your meticulous attention to detail (did you ever identify the blue and white cassette in Forest Tucker's car with Stephen Stills and Grand Funk Railroad?) is incredibly refreshing. My similar "brand" is what I call "interrogating memory," but that is a story for a different time. :)
On to Season 2, and the late great John Cassavetes!
Oh...just one more thing.
Your running commentary on the narcissistic egoism required of Columbo villains is spot on. And it may answer a question that had not occurred to me: how is that after so many high-profile cases, nobody knows who Lt. Columbo is? While the simplest answer is that he does a very good job of keeping his own name out of the press (easier in the early 70s than now, perhaps), it may be that all these killers know exactly who Lt. Columbo is, and their vanity leads them to believe *they* will be the one finally to fool him.
But they never do, because Lt. Columbo is a very individual person.
Your comment made my whole day 😁 The cassette tape I couldn't identify at the time is Tennessee Ernie Ford's album Songs I Like to Sing. If you watch my Season 1 or Season 2 review compilation, I correct mistakes I made in the original upload as well as add information that I didn't know yet. I include the Ernie Ford info in that video.
That's awesome you dressed as Columbo for Halloween! I'm sure glad you found my channel 😊
@@WatchitforDays I am glad my comment made your day - and that you resolved the cassette mystery.
I lived in DC in October 1988. A work colleague invited me to her Halloween party. I showed up in character, down to the raincoat, notepad and cigar. When she opened the door, she went right into character, pretending to be irritated by my presence. It was a nice bit of improv on her part, and I happily played along. The only other thing I recall is a bunch of us sitting on her floor smoking cigars. I never smoked otherwise, so it was an experience.
The coat and cigars are long gone, but I still have the notepad. I used stuff I wrote in it at the time when I researched my first book, which was inspired (unconsciously) by Lt. Columbo's meticulous attention to detail.
Anyway, on to Ray Milland's greenhouse! :)
Excuse me...solarium.
Very cool how you figured out where they filmed and compared it to today. I live in LA and go through Century City (back lot of 20th Century Fox gives it its name). The office Williamson pulls into at the beginning was the longtime home of the Friars Club, home to those great Dean Martin Roasts, btw. 😊
Thank you for sharing that! I had no idea that was where the Dean Martin roasts were held
Another lovely, funny, careful & caring review. Well done! Again!
Glad to hear you intend to carry on.
(PS Is Bo's hood ornament not a repurposed lighter from another episode? You know - one of those big-sized ones that some people like?)
Thank you, Villiam ❤️
That would be incredible if that huge horse hood ornament was a huge horse lighter!
Any hour long?? LOVE IT! Definately watching on the big screen!!
I'm glad you don't mind the length ❤️
What makes this show so great was, that the viewer knew the killer at very beginning of each episode. The suspense was Columbo solving it.
Exactly right
Now this is what I call a review! Would not be out of place on mainstream TV. Absolutely first class and delivered with such wit, knowledge and personality.
Aww, I sure appreciate that! Your comment made my day ❤️
@@WatchitforDays You're more than welcome 🙂❤️
Even though they don't have many moments together, Peter Falk and Patrick O'Neal are both great in CASTLE KEEP.
That's awesome!
I’ve been waiting for an uninterrupted chunk of time so I could settle in and watch this. Love your work!
Aww, thank you very much for your kindness!
Another great review. It is evident you put a lot of time and effort into these reviews. I like the references to other episodes and details on the other actors. When Columbo noticed the discrepancy in musical genres in the car, I realize this was an important clue in his reasoning. However, I am one of those people who like both country and classical music so this would not be unusual for me. The ending was clever. That scene when he had a flat tire with the body in the trunk was classic. Burying the body underneath a building (that had already been searched) was clever but Columbo was two steps ahead as usual. He looked like a deer in headlights.
Thank you very much, Douglas, for sharing all your thoughts and favorite parts 😊
I love you 😍 Always so exciting to have a new episode
Thank you, Mort 🥰
Your deep research and polished presentation are exemplary. I’ve watched all Columbo episodes many times, and enjoyed every moment.
Your analysis adds another dimension. Thank you.
I appreciate that very much! I'm so glad you enjoy the videos :)
You just astonish me. I didn't think there were people out there like me that love Columbo as much as me. It's wonderful to listen to your commentary.
Thank you very much! I'm so glad you're here :)
I discovered your channel yesterday and it’s great see get this detailed info about the actors in the episodes. I’ve already subbed. Thank you for all the work you’re doing.
I'm so glad you're here and enjoying the videos! Thank you❤️
Really well done! Very entertaining, as all of them are! Great facts, background stories, Google Map of locations, and even a little translation of Japanese!
Thank you very much, my countzero friend!
I love Columbo and now I love your reviews. I Love your attention details that are delivered quick enough to make you appreciate the episode even more. Thank you for your service.
Thank you very much, Dan Dan, for this wonderful encouragement
Thanks for doing this. I always look forward to these. I love your attention to detail and your sense of humor. You're very funny and you have the perfect voice for this. By the way Forest Tucker was in a little known series called The Ghost Busters with his F Troop co star Larry Storch. Makes me wonder if that's where the movie got its name. Keep up the good work. Big fan of yours.
Thank you very much, John, for all your kindness and encouragement! I also appreciate you sharing some Forrest Tucker information, love it! See you for season 2.
Season 1 finished! I discovered your channel a week ago and could not stop watching! Nice job and congratulations, see you in season 2!
Thank you very much for that encouragement, Mr. Proper!
"My wife is crazy about music."
Brenner: "Really? Classical?"
"Yeah, Beethoven, whats-his-name, the guy that wrote Marriage of Figaro..."
Brenner: "Mozart."
"That fella."
Your videos are great🥣 I love how you point out the silliness, like Benny Hill😄 Columbo never wrote or directed himself(ok once;) And he never quit til the job was done🙋🏻♂️🚙
I loved reading your little dialogue between Columbo and Brenner. I could hear and see it play out!
I'm so glad you enjoy the videos, thank you very much ❤️
Your videos renewed my love for this great TV series. After watching my first "watch it for days" video, I thought it would take away from viewing a complete episode, but it enhanced the experience. The internet has brought out a ton of creativity from people all over the world.
I'm so happy you enjoyed it! ❤️
GREAT!! Save and watch on the big screen!! Great reviews!!
Thank you, my toshibavoodoo friend!
I feel bad about pointing out your mistake in the Short Fuse review, 2 years late, I will just say BRAVA! & well done. I enjoy your reviews immensely, all the little details that I get fixated on, all of the uncredited extras, the history and the little props that you give attention to… you videos are everything I could ask for… thank you! Now I have finished season one & on to season two 🎉
I appreciate you very much, datsun 😊
Wonderful as always! Thanks you for posting!
Thank you, my 8-bit friend:)
Thank you so much for your hard work in producing these videos. I am eagerly anticipating new episode videos.
Thank you very much!! I'm working on the next episode
Another awesome job. Love the Last Action Hero, and Loaded Weapon references. The scene where Colt consecutively steps on tobacco conveyances, has always been a fave... as I [honestly] proclaim that I wrote that, when I was in elementary school. It has my puerility all over it.
I don't know this definitively, but I have always interpreted the term "Jackson Boy" as meaning that Markham, and his work, are worth about twenty bucks. A low-grade Architect.
I totally agree that Peter Falk worked very hard. When you compare the complexity of the scenes, sites, and shots to anything that preceded this one, one can clearly see the extra effort. One can clearly envision him doing so.
Also, "Jackson" used to be a sort of all-purpose name, like "Buddy" or "Mac." That might have something to do with it too.
Thank you very much for taking the time to write this amazing comment, Gavin. I was hoping I had a few Last Action Hero and Loaded Weapon fans 😊 Also, thank you for your input on the "Jackson" question I had.
Thank you, Oppeldeldoc, for your "Jackson boy" input. Much appreciated!
@@WatchitforDays No worries :) I can spout "180, you stupid spaghetti-slurping cretin. 180! If I did a 360, I'd go completely around and end up back where I started!" with the best of them.
My favorite episode of the series. Absolutely love the ending. Truly the epitome of the cat-and-mouse game that so many episodes set up, but none as perfect as this
It is an amazing episode, for sure
Thank you for all that you do! I always enjoy your videos and it's obvious that you do your homework! I'm 49 years old and still enjoy Columbo and your reviews! ❤️
I am so happy to learn you're enjoying my videos! Thank you very much 😊
17:23 "Dubbed over" is now known as ADR but was then known as "looping". A loop of the take cycled in a projector and the talent was recorded as they watched over and over and attempted to match the lips. Now it's all computers with stops and starts. I never got to loop but I have done ADR. (something something [probably Automated] Dialogue Replacement.) Dubbing is when they take finished foreign work and replace it with English. Doesn't pay much but it's easy.
And I, for one, am attempting to educate, not criticize (and blow my own horn, of course). Great work. Do Banacek next!
I truly appreciate your kindness in educating me on the terms! You were very clear without demeaning me in the process. Some people have difficulty doing that!
Nice job! (And don't forget the shoes in the beginning of Hitchcock's "Strangers On A Train.") Keep up the great work! Cheers.
Thank you very much for the kind words and "Strangers on a Train" references!
@@WatchitforDays I appreciate your thorough researching, and gave a like and subscribe after watching your analysis of "The Most Crucial Game", the first of yours I followed.
I've just starting watching this one, and stopped as soon as you brought up the detail of feet being shown before faces at the beginning, and gave other examples. I was about to add _Strangers on a Train_ to the list, when I saw that Bobby Duvet already mentioned it, so kudos to him. (I arrived late to the party, and that's what happens. 😏)
However, I can add a little, because I found a video featuring the opening of Hitchcock's film, and for the better part of the first two minutes he not only restricts the view of the two main characters to their feet, but also everyone else, as well. It's another example of the master's innovative approach, and one which all the later "feet first" directors probably consciously copied to a greater or lesser degree:

Excellent commentary, Shonna. From 'down low' to 'on high' you 'effortlessly' cover the whole picture and tie things together for our pleasure.
I can just about bring together a Twitter comment so recognize your achievement.
I appreciate your amazing kindness 😊
As an old school Columbo fan, really lovin these videos! Lookin forward to the other seasons ..keep it up 👏🏾
Thank you very much! ❤️
Another fun and entertaining review. Well done!! 👍👍
Thank you very much, Mark!
What a treat and what a journey! I just started watching the show last week, (watching an episode or two a day) then watching your fabulous analyses have enriched the experience incredibly. I'm just a little sad I'm now caught up to the point of your observations. I will have to go along without them and look forward to your next review's premiere!
Thank you very much for your wonderful kindness! I'm working on the next episode right now, Etude in Black :)
Couldn’t hit play fast enough! Great review
Aww, thank you, Tan 😊
It's very fun to watch your deep dive series. I am a huge fan of Columbo since I was in primary school.
Your investigation and Japanese translation are perfect.
I'm looking forward to another episodes.
@@foofightaro-jorin I appreciate that very much!!
Shonna! You're on a roll! Closing in on a full hour now. This isn't one of my favorites but like you said, it wasn't Peter Falk's fault, he could only do so much with the material given to him. The villain just didn't grab me like usual.
I liked the gotcha at the end and my favorite scene is definitely the sequence where our detective has to deal with the slow-as-molasses government bureaucracy and long lines. Some things never change...thank goodness for smart phones, eh? Anyways, you're not going anywhere...and we couldn't be happier!
You are soooooo kind, Evan, thank you! And thanks for sharing your thoughts on the episode, too. I love reading other people's opinions.
Have a fantastic week!
@@WatchitforDays Thanks, Shonna. May your week be as fantastic as you!
Thanks to you I too can imagine Jack Cassidy in that scene too😅. funny
Love the DETAILS!!!! Great review, excited for the next episode.
Thank you very much!!! ❤️
Jackson boy is someone born with a silver spoon in their mouth. One meaning of Jackson for a boy is, "God has been gracious; has shown favor". Based on John or Jacques (Jack). Jackson also has the meaning, Son of Jack.
Thank you very much for sharing this insight on "Jackson Boy"
Yes, thanks so much for that info!
I really enjoy your videos and enjoy listening to your discussion of the Columbo Episodes. The information on the actors is so interesting. I have enjoyed Columbo over the years - such a great show.
I'm happy to know you're enjoying the videos!
John Fiedler also played a memorable role on Star Trek, Mr. Hengist of Rigel IV. His voice really made the role!
Thank you for sharing another great John Fiedler role!
His voice! Especially when he was acting doped from the hypo, laughing "die, die, everbody die..."
John Felder appeared in both The Odd Couple movie and TV series
In 1963 my brother and I visited the Century City construction site to watch the Beverly Hillbillies being filmed. There were two buildings in Century City at the time, Gateways East and West. The Clampetts built a bank for Mister Drysdale in that episode. I was thrilled to pieces.
That's amazing!! What a cool memory :)
@@WatchitforDays - whatever is relevant will manifest in the consciousness. Columbo has so many cool triggers for me of a beautiful decade, the seventies.
These are just amazing, brilliant videos. Been working my way through them, so many great details and interesting facts. Love your sense of humour too! It is a very funny show and it's good that you've tuned so closely into all the amusing details that makes it such a pleasure to watch over and over.
Thank you very much!
Yayyy! Love these reviews. ❤️
Thank you very much, Max!
This is the second of your videos I have watched - they are exceptional! What an eye for detail, and fascinating insights. Thank you!
Thank you very much! I'm so happy you enjoy the videos ❤️
I couldn't tell you why, but this is my number 1 episode. Troubled Waters #2. Cannot wait till you get to that one.
This was truly a wonderful breakdown, as usual.
I think that's awesome it's your #1! Thank you for sharing ❤️I love knowing what people's favorite are.
I’m now binge watching your videos and subscribed to your channel. What you do is truly brilliant.
Thank you very much, Susie! I'm so glad you're here ❤️
I literally don't know how you do it! Those Google Map location shots are SO cool- Aaaaand now you're translating Japanese. Yep. Of course. Not even surprised.
Haha! Thank you very much ❤️ Your comment made my day
