You are correct that Columbo will never get old. I happen to be watching and enjoying Columbo on May 14, 2083 on my LG Hologram 3-D Receptor and was wondering what people in 2023 thought of this show. So, I got into a specially equipped DeLorean with a flux capacitor and went back to that year and saw your message on RUclips. By the time you read this, I'll be back in the year 2083, watching more Columbo. It's a pity there are only so many episodes to watch.
@ralphadamo1857 thought you'd mistyped 2023. And Flux capa citirvonly Brin you back to 1st B2 Furire film 1986/87. You'd need supercharged one to go back to 19799 1976 or 73 or whenever this was filmed.
6:02 the wood moving under his feet while he's talking. This content is gold. Like someone else noted in another video, watching columbo is like meditation.
The series can never get old...because he makes the show. I watched NCIS (not NOLA), most of CSI and others that had the newest and best technology to find the culprit. Mental use of deduction, i.e. Columbo, beat tech hands down!
All the best actors…the “A” list actors at that time wanted to work with Falk on his show. The writing…the direction…the chance to play the clever villain (which is always fun) in a high profile series was a bonus and they were clamoring to be a part of it. Even now, decades later, it still holds up. I would love to get my hands on all the episodes and just bing until my eyeballs fell out. Bravo, Colombo!
Love the way Frank knows he doesn't have enough evidence to get Ruth, so he uses the threat of Ruth's dark family secrets coming out at trial so he can get her to confess.
@@terracottapie Yep, ole Frank was insulted that Ruth tried to frame her "niece" for crimes that she committed, so he turned the screws on her at the end . . . a wonderful episode.
I think the fact that Ruth tried to blame her niece for stealing the belt buckle says a lot about her actual feelings for her and about not knowing her very well. Or her entire family. Ruth is Ruthless (pun intended), vengeful, but also... kinda dumb... She is very careful but doesn't think her actions through as well as she thinks she does. She looks at the bigger picture and not at the small details and that's why she forgot to leave the lights on, she forgot that simply putting the belt buckle in Janey's closet wouldn't just do it, especially since Janey doesn't know what it is, so it wasn't very thought through. Just some random character analysis..😅
Like Columbo says, while he is a professional homicide detective with years of experience, his suspects aren’t professional killers. They always miss something
Wow, I have spent a lot of time watching Columbo. Way way more than 86+ hours because I've seen every episode twice thrice or more. Oh, just one more thing. I will continue to do so.
All actors did a great job, even the watch salesman expect for two, in my opinion. Those being the actors playing Janie and he4 lover. Love the whole investigation scenes with Colombo and his crew.
3:52 - 4:25 That's right, get cigar ash all over the scene of the crime. 11:16 The niece using the antique as an ashtray proves nothing. She may have noticed Columbo smuggled it into her cell to test her. I know we the audience know it was the aunt and not the niece that did the crime, but Columbo is meant not to know. His little test proves nothing (especially as the aunt has been teaching the niece Byzantine art for 3 months!). He can't convict the aunt on that.
She doesn't want to lose the museum. Who wants to come in and sit in that office, in that chair every day knowing the price that was paid, even your immortal soul. 😶🌫️
If you wish to see the final bit that follows this, where she confesses, search this channel for: *Columbo Solves Old Fashioned Murder Case* There's a bit of overlap.
The robber is robbing from display cases and is not wearing any mask, you can see the professionalism here. On top of that, he's a security guard. Cameras ? Pffffttt....who cares about cameras.
Surveillance cameras were uncommon when this episode was made in 1976 which is why they hired a security guard. In the episode "Playback", there had to be a guard monitoring the camera. Much cheaper just to hire a guard than install a surveillance camera as well which would have to be monitored by the guard anyway, a double cost.
@@johnfinnegan8474 i wil reply here that in many episodes of Columbo, he gets his man using surveillance footage from camera(s), so your argument is defective 🤔
@@power2084 But those were in well lit areas, this robbery was done in darkness in torchlight so they couldn't see his face. Besides the murderer was going to pay him to steal the items so she claim insurance money on them later, so if there was any cameras would she have not have disabled them temporarily, or made sure they were pointing somewhere else?
@@johnfinnegan8474 you may think you have a good point with your last reply, after all, this is an arranged robbery, right ? Why worry about cameras if there are cameras, because they purposefully turned them off...and why worry about being recognized on camera because after all, the cameras are off ! Well there are 2 major problems here: 1- If there are cameras but they didn't record anything because they were off, that's extremely suspicious for the police; 2- Around 0:45 you see the robber (security guard) in formal grey uniform. If he knew there was no camera and didn't bother wearing a mask, then why did he dress in all-black like robbers during the robbery ? This makes no sense. This part of the episode is simply badly written.
There must have been a new makeup artist for this episode, notice how good Colombo’s hair do looks? Let’s do some research on this, oh! Just one more thing,I’m no expert on makeup but why is it that all the actors look like makeovers? It was just bothering me,that’s all.
Watched this ep last nite. While the interaction between the killer and cumbo (as always) was the highlight of the show, the ending was rather bleh and she pretty much just gave into him even though the lie he caught her in in now way would have incriminated her. Kinda a bleh episode to me. Joyce Van Patten is actually still alive today, a rarity among cumbo killers.
In order to make it look like her brother and the security guard killed each other, she places the security guards gun in his hand, and the gun she used to kill him with in her brothers hand. I see a problem with that, if Columbo checked the serial number on her brothers supposed gun against the national database of firearm serial numbers the government keeps when guns are purchased, it would not be registered to him, but to his sister the murderer.
Yeah , this was a rather dull , flawed episode , among the weakest from the classic Columbo era . Ruthie's character and her relationship with Janie , her neice ( possibly her daughter ) is inconsistent and makes no sense in the way it is presented . It's also quite a stretch to think that the security guard would agree to this far-fetched plan and make such a life-changing decision on the spot . This episode is well-known for being heavily rewritten ( by the guy playing the security guard ) . It was originally titled " In Deadly Hate " and the murderer was male . I would have preferred to see that rather than this bland episode.
Doesn't really satisfy to watch incomplete, short excerpts like this. It feels like what actually it is pretty likely it is intended to be..: an advertisement of sorts for the full episodes of Colombo.
Loved this episode when originally came out. But I can't watch it now a days without thinking of the terrible series of 'Buck Rogers and The 25th Century' everytime I see this clip. Although Tim O'Connor and Erin Grey were the only good part of the series. Even Mel Blanc(Bugs Bunny fame) doing Twiki's voice was terrible. Nothing could counter the terrible Gil Gerard acting and repetitive horrible writing of scripts.
This is one of my least favorite episodes of the original series. The characters are uninteresting, there are no memorable scenes and the ending is flat and dull, especially compared to some of the classic endings I am accustomed to.
There is a more longahand version but here is the shorter one updated, rechecked, re-researched, redone, refurbished, renewed, renovated and a bit new on top of it: The mondo Columbus episodes are too short. The old 1950s non not guilty Von Rittenhouser mondo captious Chawin himself found guilty of 6 counts of racism TVs couldn't hold longer ones. Chowin was convicted of 6 counts of racism and accepted our sins for us. They used old CRT Catholic Ray Tubes. They used to use Central Vacuum Theory with CRT or Catholic Ray Tub technology and Motorola involvement with flypaper control to try to make a non racist product They didn’t have Claw Technology. No harm no fowl. The proof is in the pudding.
I just hope that woke Hollywood doesn't remake this classic series like they did with Magnum P.I. Mcguyver... It would be the end of my T.V. watching... 🤔
Everything about this episode is weird and unlikely... a robber, during the action in a museum at night, goes placing a phone call during the robbery from inside the museum... allegedly he get surprised by the staff of the museum that mysteriously was still there in the middle of the night and had a gun with which he kills the robber, while the robber kills him in turn during a phone call in a dark room. Yet, on the recorded phone call there is only one shot, not two! Beside, how was he supposed have dialed the number if he had the gun in one hand (having contemporaneously killed the museum guy)?
Columbo series will never get old.
You and agree. Watching our friend Columbo has helped me get thru Covid and back sprain and sleepless nights. 💕
You are correct that Columbo will never get old.

Unfortunately, It is old already. Most of the things done in the series are impossible when the cameras are switched on.
"Well, what do you expect for thirty dollars?" I love the way he pivoted.
I always loved this episode. The characters and their backstories (particularly Joyce Van Patten's character) were fascinating.
The "ashtray" bit is just stellar. The whole episode is a great "watch". 😁👍
6:02 the wood moving under his feet while he's talking. This content is gold. Like someone else noted in another video, watching columbo is like meditation.
"That coat, that coat, that coat".
"No brother. No false pride between friends. A man's worth is not judged by the size of his purse."
Clever. I saw that episode as well
Lololol... Yes! I love it when actors are in a few Columbo episodes....
The series can never get old...because he makes the show. I watched NCIS (not NOLA), most of CSI and others that had the newest and best technology to find the culprit. Mental use of deduction, i.e. Columbo, beat tech hands down!
Ruth is an amazingly good shot ( right in Edward's heart) for an old maid who spends most of her time in a museum.
Love Columbia Sunday. My favourite ones are the 1970s.
She played the Nun in the homeless shelter
Indeed. I was looking for someone in the comments who realized this. That's Joyce Van Patten. I believe Peter Falk and she were friends in real life.
I tended to prefer the episodes from the first four seasons of Columbo but I did like this one. Joyce Van Patten was perfect for this role.
“I do wish everyone would stop asking me that.”
Someone once asked my aunt:
"Can you keep a secret?"
She said:
"Yes! But not for long!"
All the best actors…the “A” list actors at that time wanted to work with Falk on his show.

"Frank" lol

@@SECRETARIATguy224 Man, you're really obsessively committed to the "Frank" bit, huh
@@terracottapie Frank was relentless in his pursuit of justice.
@@terracottapie People who call him Frank are clearly not Columbo fans. Only Mrs. Columbo is allowed to call him that
Rest in powerful peace Peter Falk 🙏

I love how the actress playing Ruth played a really sweet nun in another Columbo episode.
I JUST realized this now then saw this comment
7:22 I guess we missed the scene where Columbo went to a hairstylist. I almost didn't recognize him with that neatly combed coif.
Thank you! I was so confused
First time ever seen his hair neat.
Doesn't it look horrible..
Once again The Lieutenants brilliance is on full display!!! 👍👍🙂
One problem with her plan is that there won't be any gunshot residue on his hands.
I love Columbo! 🥰👍🏻😃
When you see Columbo make the guilty one lose it I do too🤣😅😂😂.
I think the fact that Ruth tried to blame her niece for stealing the belt buckle says a lot about her actual feelings for her and about not knowing her very well. Or her entire family.
Ruth is Ruthless (pun intended), vengeful, but also... kinda dumb...
She is very careful but doesn't think her actions through as well as she thinks she does.
She looks at the bigger picture and not at the small details and that's why she forgot to leave the lights on, she forgot that simply putting the belt buckle in Janey's closet wouldn't just do it, especially since Janey doesn't know what it is, so it wasn't very thought through.

One of the few times where you see in the jewelry store actually comb his hair and not have his hair messed up.
Loved Colombo and the cast
The best cop ever!. The end!
Has this been confirmed ?
I was afraid Columbo's cigar was gonna burn the other detectives face or eye.
The piano has an exorcist vibe!
IT's the místery of 1970😊
Did you know it would take you 86 Hours and 51 Mins to watch ALL of Columbo
Time well spent!
Longer still, if watching with commercial breaks (as was originally presented on either NBC or ABC) 📺☺
Wow, I have spent a lot of time watching Columbo. Way way more than 86+ hours because I've seen every episode twice thrice or more.
Oh, just one more thing. I will continue to do so.
Me too!
Dang Dude...😮
Columbo with helmet head is the funniest visual. Dammit leave him unkempt. 😆 🤣
Awesome 👏👏
All actors did a great job, even the watch salesman expect for two, in my opinion. Those being the actors playing Janie and he4 lover. Love the whole investigation scenes with Colombo and his crew.
Acting....😂.....I wish Everyone would stop asking me That....😂.....Tripp.....
This is my favorite episode
Columbo, like no other, never again!!!!
EINE DER BESTEN FERNSEHSERIEN ÜBERHAUPT
good episode
Never seen a bad Columbo!🥰
Entertaining viewing the special guest stars😊😊
Columbo had a problem with his new hairstyle 😂
The watch ⌚️ part was very funny 😁
Great 👍
The lady sure was an accurate markswoman
Good old fashioned murder was never really my favourite episode of Columbo
3:52 - 4:25 That's right, get cigar ash all over the scene of the crime.

How about 14 minutes and we get to see the end?
Hey I recognize her, she was the mom in Monkey Shines by George Romero...great actress! :]
She doesn't want to lose the museum. Who wants to come in and sit in that office, in that chair every day knowing the price that was paid, even your immortal soul. 😶🌫️
She didn't offer him a bowl of soup this time...
My brother had that look the day hé died is phrase only à killer would know!
" I do wish everyone would stop asking me that."
I need one of those for this phone
@michaeljohn..you haven’t much to do do you , all that time?😂😂😂
100,000 in 1977 is 512,788 dollars today in 2023. That's something you wouldn't turn down for most people.
How did all of that happen about the engagement 💍
IT's tragic for Lady...
Joyce Van Patten is still alive.
and still working :)
Finding out that he is an exconvict might make his employers look suspicious ...
Uncle Simon said BARBARA!!!
Columbo is an action actor that never use violence or scream histérico to get attention
If you wish to see the final bit that follows this,
where she confesses, search this channel for:
*Columbo Solves Old Fashioned Murder Case*
There's a bit of overlap.
It worked.
There is bullet in the phone booth .
0:11 such an entitled thing to say for someone who has never worked to earn a penny in their life.
The Columbo in 1989 and later are in different seasons in region 1 ...
part duex?
Nice columbo ❤❤❤❤
Columbo with hair combed...just one more thing!

What's with Columbo's hair in this episode, it looks like he's wearing a piece.... 07:50
That's his $20 haircut by Darryl, which was not shown.
Hardly recognised him.
I have never seen this episode
4:50 ...and now he's dead. Coincidence? Portent?🤷🏻♂️ I'm only askin'.

Columbo goes to a hairstylist in the episode, even having other people that he questioned comment on how good his hair looked.
Columbo hates his new hair
Instead of giving him a million dollars , she kills him
Idea : light bulb

I like the episodes in which the murderer is a woman....very machiavelic
That's funny since Machiavelli actually thought women weren't bright enough to plan anything devious ;)
No I'm not
For the love of money!

Or she kept her gun in the museum, and she could argue her brother went to grab it when he realised there was a robbery?? Maybe??
Also if they fired the guns wouldn't there be power marks.
Jan Brady own bedroom
