Columbo the best detective ever, this is one of the best episodes I watched many times and I still enjoyed them.
Maybe the best episode... terrific music and a sequence in the distance inside the stadium (missing in this recap): pure gold!
that side-ways look was without a doubt a classic Colombo duck nibbling away at its food
Robert perfect for Columbo ❤❤
He came back for more
Classic
Columbo had great stars
A. Still watching today
Perfect TIMEING
❤
Love to see the technology of the time. Also interesting to think of whether modern technology would make a cover-up more difficult or easier. In general, always good for mood to see the beloved Peter Falk
Too good, too good, too good!
Nice
They are all guilty right, easy job. Imagine how columbo would handle a Karen 😆 🤣 😂
There was an episode with a woman who played someone called Karen in it. It was the episode about the wine connoisseur who kills his half-brother. She literally was a Karen, who as the murderers spinster secretary threatened to expose him to the police if he did not marry her. Yes of course they are all guilty as every Columbo viewer knows.
@@martinfinn1550 Yep and that was Peter Falk's favorite episode. Funny thing, Donald Pleasance (the killer) was relieved to get caught so he wouldn't have to be in a relationship with her. 😂 I always found that amusing.
While the "gotcha" moments in of themselves in some of these episodes probably wouldn't be enough to convict in court, keep in mind the Jury is just as big a part of it as the facts.
Its usually a mix of all the little details & the picture they paint when put together that could convict the killers even when they don't confess or incriminate themselves. Especially if Columbo himself is brought in to testify, he can be VERY convincing when he wants to be :v
this episode is a certified hood classic
bro, they all are 💯
I do like this episode! 😁😁

🤓🤓
One of the good ones.
Brilliant 👏 👏 👏
The victim played the role of a suspect in the episode where Columbo goes on a cruise.
It would have been very interesting to have cast Dean Stockwell as a murderer in Columbo.
I haven't seen that episode in quite some time but I remember Patrick Macnee played the captain of the cruise ship and Robert Vaughn played the murderer. I think the victim played a musician in it who Robert Vaugh's character was trying to frame for the murder of the ships entertainment singer.
@@johnfinnegan8474 That's right !
I appreciate the dramatic music but that will never fly in court
Most of the gotchas in this show wouldn't. But they sure make for great dramatic tension!
I think most of the killers confess
But it will fly in the court of the viewers who literally saw him brain the guy. There is no other court in Columbo episodes. As the Columbo screenwriters themselves acknowledge, the episodes are written so the viewer sees justice done and the onscreen killer get caught. So no need to to make them legally airtight so they would pass a judge and jury.
He also has the film footage of Scanlon killing Eric. 😜
Good
Does Colombo have a right to arrest the man they caught wiretapping or an *obligation* to do this?
Unless a judge is ordering it- no officer HAS to make an arrest for anything. They might get in hot water for letting certain people go- and thats certainly happened, but your not forced to make an arrest on pretty much anyone unless a judge says you have to. - drunk drivers get to drive home, or take a cab, or have a friend pick them up- all the time.
@@malarucoon , absolutely! An arrest is just a "prevention measure". What I wanted to ask if Columbo obliged to report this one to a state prosecution.
Culp & Falk always worked well together on screen.
Also the same with Patrick mac Goohan and Peter Falk 💯
Robert Culp was one of my favorite recurring Columbo murderers along with Patrick Mc Goohan and Jack Cassidy. I also remember he was in one of the later episodes where he was either the father or the uncle of the students who killed their professor. I have been watching Columbo episodes since the 1980's and it never occurred to me once to wonder if he could win his cases in court like other posters here are asking. That is probably because I understood Columbo episodes are about seeing justice being done and Columbo getting his man or woman at the end. His job is ended when he catches them.
"Multiple episodes of Columbo where the same actor played different bad guys" is why I have face blindness
He did it for the team... I think
Good one,thanks 🎉🎉🎉
Did you notice columbo gets real close to the perpertrator
Any decent lawyer back then would have gotten that clock evidence thrown out. Nice for TV but IRL quite easy to explain away
Suppose his assistant saw him wind up the clock earlier that day and testified to that fact in court, how would he explain it had been wound down in less than a day?
The motive is not clear.
Take over the business and the widow.
Culp's Gulp
What should I hear from the record? The question is wrong. What do I NOT hear?
Well, their Hungarian voice actors also died: Gyula Szabó (Columbo) in 2014 while Gyula Szersén (Hanlon) in 2021.
ROBERT CULPrit in 3 Columbo episodes. Lol
He was better in I SPY with Bill Cosby.
Yes Robert was Culp(able) of murder in three episodes. I think he also played the father of one of the students in one of the later 1990's episodes, where they killed their professor in a hi-tech fashion using a remotely triggered gun.
@patrickjohnson5658 "Columbo Goes to College". Good episode. Robert Culp protects his son. Unfortunately, the son is caught and hsd to go to jail with his accomplice, another student.
👍
I think this is one of those cases that simply wouldn't hold up in court. He just needs to say the clock was faulty, battery was dead, hadn't been wound properly, and it didn't chime that time. That's reasonable doubt.
They wouldn't need that evidence today. They could trace where he made the call from and go from there.
@@fanglo5011but this isn't set up in 2025 it's from 1972 that technology wasn't available back then. They could trace a phone call that's happening but not after the call
Don't watch anything you will be better off.
@@paulgrimaldi1751 I love Columbo, I just like to think about what would happen beyond the episode. In a few of them I think the people he catches would have a good chance of getting away with it in court, despite Columbo's genius and knowing for a fact they're guilty.
I thought the same about the clock needed batteries or needed winding up. If culp had have said that then columbo could still arrest him on suspicion of murder, maybe. Would have been interesting to see a court case episode of this to see how it went lol 😊
