@@Educatingben Thank you very much, Educatingben! You are sooo kind 😊
@@IndyCrewInNYC You are incredibly generous, Evan!!!
@@WatchitforDays You are more than worthy of all the support.🌹
I saw the original broadcast of this episode over 50 years ago, and still remember the brilliant, devastating “gotcha” ending! Bravo!
It's a wonderful episode.
@@WatchitforDays I love the original series. But as this channel points out (in a very entertaining way), there are nits. I always found this ending a bit contrived. How did Columbo know what he was touching when he reached into the bag? It's almost as if the writers came up with the ending first, and backed tracked to make Columbo make all the right moves.
Yep, a epic 'Gotcha'
@michaelfontanelli2450
I too, saw this when first shown; in its' original broadcast, well over 50 years ago; &, in very many of its' re-broadcasts, since then; and, also, many times, since then as well.
I loved this one very much; way back then; ; and, I really still do!
@@mdesm2005
I -->>absolutely agree with you.
You have made seriously -->>great points!
*'Columbo'.
This is, by far, my favorite Columbo takedown. I agree that Ross Martin's acting is what makes this episode. He is just such a smarmy, arrogant, pompous, weaselly little creep this whole episode (how could Artemus Gordon betray me so?). The killing his uncle, and then the accomplice/girlfriend is standard villainy, but framing his aunt for it, then telling the lawyer to have the house searched to prove she's innocent. And then he's all "Edna, how could you?" And his sputtering and shocked into silence when Columbo reveals he is wearing gloves! Pure gold!
I absolutely agree with you!
Agreed one of top ending
What made the "Edna how could you?" comment so epic was that obviously no one was buying it.
@@wherami
Agreed!
*one of the top endings.
@@IFStravinsky
Also agreed!
I must have watched every Columbo episode a dozen times but you made it so fun to watch again. And I learned so much I did not know. Thanks so much 😊
Aww, that is very kind. I'm so happy you enjoyed it!
I agree
@@WatchitforDays are you a witness to what they just wrote?
@@robertl.viggiano7546 are you a witness to what they just wrote?
Don’t apologize for how long it takes to research, record and edit these videos. They are worth the wait.
I adore Ross Martin. Fell for him in “Wild, Wild West” and was heartbroken when he died. Wonderful actor as hero or villain.
Aunt Edna is so discombobulated in her scenes, she won my heart.
There are so many stars and top character actors in this, I wonder if anything else was shooting while they made it.
Thank you for that encouragement and for sharing your thoughts on the episode ❤️
This episode has my favorite ending in the entire show. I did not expect it the first time I ever saw it and all the actors did a fantastic job with the scene. If I were to introduce Columbo to somebody who has never seen it this would be the episode I would show.
I agree!
I think Candidate For Crime tops it for me because of how devastating it is, but this one is right up there
The look on his face when Columbo pulls out his hands, revealing the gloves, is PRICELESS. And this is one of my favorites of the whole series as well, mainly because of that ending. It's perfectly set up and perfectly executed. This is the kind of thing I aspire to create in my own writing.
That's wonderful you're a writer! What genre do you enjoy writing?
@@WatchitforDays I'm presently working on a flintlock fantasy story setting that I hope to get other writers and artists to help me create stories in it as a shared universe. I think the simplest description would be Lord of the Rings combined with Pirates of the Caribbean and a lot of RPG settings. So, lots of tricorn hats and black powder weapons but also lots of magic. One of the main ideas I'm trying to explore with it is "magic meets the Industrial Revolution." My flagship protagonist for the setting is a swashbuckling Half-Orc fashionista named Perdita Nightshade, who can kick butt six ways to Sunday but loves pretty things and looking pretty. (Orcs in my setting can be just as attractive as any other race and they're not universally evil. I'm also using the Roman Empire more as a basis for them, since there's the militant element with which Orcs are most often associated but in a more disciplined manner as opposed to the marauding barbarians Orcs are usually depicted as being.) I'm having a ton of fun with this project but I'm drawing inspiration from all kinds of sources for how to execute the stories, including Columbo. Good writers don't just look to their preferred genre for inspiration. They study the techniques of good storytellers in any genre to get examples of effective techniques.
@@patrickleighpresents749 That sounds amazing, Patrick. Very cool world collision. I am intrigued!
@@WatchitforDays Thank you! I'm plotting out the first book in my Perdita Nightshade series while also putting together notes for other stories to collaborate on with other people. I'm also considering having some of the stories be told in Light Novel format, preferably with voice acting, but I won't count my chickens before they hatch.
I stumbled across these by accident. I love Columbo and have em all on Blu-ray or dvd. These retrospectives with added trivia are absolutely fantastic. Thank you.
I'm so happy you're here and enjoying Columbo with me!
I love this!. BTW at 9:40 my grandmother laughed at this joke because she said that back in the sixties art scene "relationship between the pieces" referred to "male" and "female" artwork placed next to each other in a suggestive manner.
That's so funny, thank you for sharing this! I'm very happy you enjoyed the video.
I figured it must be some kind of innuendo that I didn't understand
You are abolutely correct that almost nobody really notices the hands in the pockets during the final scene the first time you watch this episode - and I think there's a good (and pretty brilliant) explanation for why that is. It's because Columbo is "supposed" to have been basically spanked by Dale and the lawyer going over his head to force the search. I can actually remember thinking the first time I watched the scene that Columbo looked like a guy who had been "put in his place" so to speak. Walking around wih his hands in his pockets, kind of all tightly compressed - it looks like contrition, or perhaps embarrasment, and it works in a psychological sense given the circumstances so it isn't as odd or jarring as it might otherwise be. So the final reveal is a really great turn-around where it changes from contrition to control. Columbo was in charge the entire time.
These deep dives are superb. Very nice work...and I really enjoy your narration. You have a great understated sense of humor.
Your comment was a joy to read. Very well put! Thank you for taking the time to type it out 😊 Also, thank you for your very kind words!
Mary Wickes had a long career in movies.
The first time I saw her was in an Abbott & Costello movie. (I don't remember the title)
If you look closely you can see her playing a harp (I think) in the club Ricky works at on I love Lucy.
College in the late 80's. I came home to hang out with mom for the weekend, and while I was there we watched a couple Columbo episodes she had on tape. This was one of them, and I instantly became a fan. A wonderful show. Thank you for these reviews.
Thank you for sharing this memory from your past with me! I always appreciate that ❤️
The Dutch Uncle collage had me laughing out loud. And the "Sorry" montage...masterful. You are not only detailed and meticulous, you are utterly hilarious. So very well done.
Awww....... Your comment made my whole day! Thank you very much ❤️
I agree
I agree you made me laugh too.
Of course the Dutch don't drink much. They're always stoned on smoking weed.🤪🤪🤪
Columbo and his Dutch Uncle
I am a HUGE Columbo fan and would like to tell you how much I enjoy your critique of all these classic episodes. You obviously put a lot of time and effort into the production of them. Please keep it up.
Well, that means a lot to me, thank you very much!
EXACTLY ❤❤
That ending is one of my favorite endings to any tv episode. So clean.
It's true
In that last scene the cop who says "we know what you thought" was in a Twilight Zone episode WITH Ross Martin.
Something about aliens in a diner.
Ross was made up to look like an old man.
The other actor was the counter man. (From Venus!)
I don't remember Ross Martin in "Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up?"
The only old man I remember was the Martian played by John Hoyt opposite the Venusian played by Barney Phillips.
You crack me up. I never noticed the instant coffee machine. I own every episode of Columbo all the way through the TV movies and have for years and regularly watch Columbo and never notice that. I love what you do.
Thank you very much!!
I love your synopses! From someone close to 60, it's nice to hear about the details of the old stars. Well done!
I'm so happy you enjoyed it!
You just keep delivering with these reviews! Your passion for Columbo is really infectious 😊 The villain on this episode is so unlikeable you have to admire that! So well portrayed and a very satisfying end to see his smug facade unravel like that 😁 thank you for the time and energy you put in to making this ❤️
Thank you, Mr. Ripley! That means a lot to me 😊💕
Amazing break down. Not only do you do the shows justice, you make me want to watch them again
Thank you! That is my intention, to make people want to go watch the episode in full again :)
@@WatchitforDays Well you certainly do just that. I'm loving these videos
I couldn’t agree more, thank you
Love this one, 5 out of 5 is right. Usually antsy and impatient when it comes to YT uploads, but you really make it worth the wait. And that's not a given.
Thank you so much, you're extremely kind :)
Love your content! Huge Columbo fan! Great work
You are the best!
Thank you again for another great Columbo episode in depth review. No need to apologize for how long it takes to do them. End results speak for themselves. Always wondered why Columbo didn't get Ross Martin for killing his accomplice, but I guess that will remain a mystery for now. Probably the best gotcha's in the series, too.
Thank you so much for your kindness and understanding ❤️ That means a lot to me.
It's true, I bet if they did a little more investigating (like looking for tire tracks up on that dirt mountain path) they might catch him there, too.
As a car guy, and an admirer of 1970s American culture, I love how you always state the year and model of the cars in the episodes as part of your commentary. I find your videos informative and witty and I have to say, me being British, I love your accent too. 😎 Just subscribed.
I'm so glad you're here! Thank you for the very kind words 😊
Oh wow, glad to see it's back up!🎉🎉
Oh my goodness! You are the first to alert me of this, thank you! Usually they send me an email saying they've released it but I guess today they are silent. Thank you for letting me know 💕
@@WatchitforDays Ah, wow! Happy to let you know!😁
These are wonderful reviews. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into these. It is really cool how you name all the actors and give them the credits for their other works . Columbo has always been a favorite. I'm also glad that CZcams allowed you to post this
Thank you very much, Mark! That means a lot to me 😊
As a long-time Columbophile, I love your work! Thank you!
Thank you very much, William!
This is one-off my favourites. The main protagonist is superb, he has the perfect combination of arrogance, charm and a kind of American chic, he talks as if he has lived in Europe and has a more refined US accent. I love the way you add your own commentary about each episode, even down to the kind of music the decreased was playing. This nuanced detail is missed by most of the audience.
Ross Martin was wonderful in this episode. I'm happy you enjoyed the video 😊
I just love your commentary and your interest in the Columbo series. Keep up the excellent narration and your diligent research. You are a shining star in the Millenial generation!
Aww, you are wonderfully kind, Pat, thank you very much!
So wonderful! Glad you were able to get this reinstated, it started right where I left off the night you posted it. A total delight!
Thank you very much, my overit friend 😊
Your Columbo review videos are works of love, which mixed with talent, skill and perfectionism produces this feast to the eyes and ears of all those who admire our superb detective. Thank you!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Aww, you are full of kindness towards me, thank you💕
I never leave CZcams comments, not sure why not but your videos are fabulous, just wanted to say thanks for making them they're fun, interesting, insightful, detailed they're brilliant, i love them.
Thank you very much! I'm honored you left me a comment ❤️ You are very kind!
This is one of my most favorite episodes...and I completely agree, Ross Martin is amazing, his acting is just fantastic...Mary Wicks too.....just so well written....and just a fantastic great ending....and Barney Phillips too! And Don Amechi and Kim Hunter!
Yes, it's a superb piece of television!
Seeing these "Columbo" episodes brings back memories of my Mom watching them every Sunday night, or whatever night it was they were on tv. Mom was a regular viewer of the "NBC Mystery Movie" series and "Columbo" was her favorite. Thanks for bringing back some good memories from my childhood 🙂
I'm so happy to hear you enjoy them 😊
Wow!
I have seen this episode many times.
And seen other critics of it.
You are just great!
All of it, including your background on so many actors in the episode , your editing and your personal cheek.
Thank you ☺️
Thank you very much, asteverino! I really appreciate that ❤️
@@WatchitforDays
You are good at what you're doing here.
La Cienega (see-ENN-eh-gah) has, for the last half-century, been host to dozens of art galleries between Sunset and Wilshire.
That is good information that I did not know.
Agree totally, this episode is the best of the best, just amazing! Thanks for your great review!!
Thank you, Dan!
36:17 This part always cracks me up. "Edna how could you?......Oh you better not say another word"
Me too !
I've literally watch every Columbo episode as well as every Columbo movie and this is so ingenious please much much more please its so funny ' thank you so much ' : )
I'm happy you are enjoying the videos.
If Goya was "the penultimate artist" he wasn't the "last of the Old Masters", he was NEXT to the last.
You are right! lol. Penultimate wasn't exactly the correct word.
Franklin was the ultimate, that's why.
@@johnraymond7176 lol, that's right!
Lol I just said that out loud when that scene occurred
You're right, and Dale didn't complain about that, so clearly he wrote it himself. I think it was meant to be "consummate", though it is the sort of pretentious word Dale might have chosen to make himself look smart.
Thank you again for another excellent review. For some reason this just showed up today. Have no idea why it took so long. Want to let you know of all the reviews out there of Colombo yours is the most detailed and the best. keep up the good work
That means A LOT to me, Mark, thank you very much!
Wonderful, thank you for the time and care you put into these x I have watched Columbo for ever, often now it is on in the background while I am faffing about, so to really watch your take on the episodes and see it all in detail is a joy 😊 Thank you again x
Thank you very much, I'm so happy you enjoy them❤️
You style of reviewing is a wonderfully entertaining way of revisiting these old Columbo episodes. I look forward to what's to come!
Aww, thank you very much. I'm working on Columbo's next episode "Lady in Waiting" as we speak.
Love this episode too.
The gloves are a work of genius.
20/20 - and having the wonderful Mary Wickes in it is the icing on the cake.
Absolutely!
Yea!!!! You’re back! Watching the episode now. Love the way you catch the most insignificant detail, like the painting used in another episode. Keep up the great work.
Thank you very much, Dan !
You used the part where Dale describes the artist as “penultimate.” That’s been a long standing laugh with a friend. There’s ULTIMATE, but even better is the PENULTIMATE. Lol. Do you think the writers were trying to make the character look silly, or did someone not know the meaning of the word?
I really should have made a joke about Dale saying penultimate because there have been several people in the comments pointing that one out to me, lol. I wouldn't be surprised if the writers used that word on purpose because most people do not know what penultimate means (at least, I thought they didn't...) so it would be a joke for those with an ultimate vocabulary.
Cough. Yes, about the pastels. I'm a professional artist, working primarily in pastels and watercolors. What a lot of people think of as 'drawings' are classed as 'paintings', even though they have quite fine lines. The point is that the medium (the substance in which the pigment is applied) does not by itself determine whether a work is a painting or a drawing. And often, there is no real distinction you can make between the two. It's a judgment call : )
This is news to me... Thank you for sharing this new insight!
@@WatchitforDays Oh, glad not to be a trivia-bore for once! : )
Your great work really brings these episodes to life. Thank you very much
Wow, what a kind thing to say... Thank you, Bob :)
I love the ending of this episode! This is one of my favorite channels for my Columbo fix! Keep up the good work!
Thank you for that encouragement ❤️
Hello, my friend! Been MIA for a while but I made sure to see what my favorite CZcamsr has been up to and you did not disappoint as usual. I have to agree, this is the best gotcha of them all and the killer's blubbering, almost childlike, reaction really sold it. I was one of the ones who also didnt ask myself "Why are his hands in his pockets"? It just never occurred to me and that's the brilliance of the writing. It's like they're anticipating what we will (and will not) notice. Your attention to even the most minute details is once again is unmatched. And thank YOU again for being so cool. Until next time...🔎
Awwwww, thank you for this wonderful comment, Evan! You just made my whole day 😊
Thank you very much
I think I’ve rewatched all your videos as many times as I have rewatched Columbo episodes!
Aww... You just made my day. Thank you very much, my something else friend ❤️
Couldn’t agree more this is among the all time best Columbo gotcha endings. And a great supporting cast
That's for sure!
Awesome review yet again 👏
The attention to detail is superb and the care and consideration you put into these reviews is first class.
I especially enjoy the comments around Dales's jokes at the exhibition. When I attend events I often try telling a feeble joke only to then laugh hysterically at myself until either people walk away nervously or I'm asked to leave 🤣
Thank you, Rob 😊 That means a lot to me!
You know, I am very often trying to crack jokes with others and it's not uncommon for me to be the only one laughing... So, I understand 😁
The Japanese give this episode the name: The Two Paintings of Degas.
Just to let everyone know, Columbo is very popular in Japan! They love murder mysteries here.
Thank you for sharing! 🇯🇵
I'm really enjoying your reviews and all of the trivia you share, your videos make me love Columbo even more
That's wonderful, Mary! I'm so happy you're enjoying them
Great episode with many notable actors and actresses. Ross Martin and group hit it out of the park. I was watching when this first aired and it really took everybody by surprise. The legend of Columbo was growing each week because the episodes were so good and the casting was amazing. Thanks for another thoroughly enjoying review.
I'm so happy you enjoyed the review ❤️
Geez!!! I just found you… You Are Great!!! Your reviews are fantastic!!! I can’t wait to watch them all!!! Especially “The Bye-Bye Sky-High IQ Murder Case” and “Murder Under Glass” I bought a vintage co2 wine opener after watching that one!!! No, no fugu… Thank You!!! You are a great narrator and editor and researcher!!!
Thank you very much, Loren! I am so glad you're here❤️
Love the reviews! Please keep up the great job!
Thank you very much!
That breakdown was as enjoyable as the actual episode. Beautiful work, Ms Days. Beautiful work.
Thank you very much for videos. I am huge fan of columbo series (prefer series in 70s), this is also one of my beloved. I use your videos for learning english. Here in Russia Columbo was shown on the tv screens in the 90s for first time, it was my childhood.
Your English is very good! I'm happy to meet you, my Russian Columbo friend.
I love your analysis of Columbo episodes. (I watched Columbo religiously when originally broadcast, and can’t get enough of the great writing and acting).
You have a critical eye that does not miss any minor detail. Your sarcasm and humor (and very pleasant voice) are entertaining. Thank you.
Thank you so very much for this wonderfully encouraging comment!
Please keep making these awesome reviews, observations, coming-You are so funny! "with his Elvis shades on". Your knowledge, creativity, and humor have brought watching one of my all-time favorite shows to a whole new level of fun. Thank you.
Thank you very much, John! I intend to keep going allll the way to the end of Columbo ❤️
@@WatchitforDays Great!
I'm so impressed with these deep dive reviews you create. I can see how much work you put into them, but it's also obvious how talented you are. You have a fantastic eye for detail, catching all these things I rarely notice myself. You would have made a great detective like Columbo! Being a longtime Columbo fan, I truly enjoy your reviews. Thank you very much.
Thank you very much, William! That really means a lot to me
Thank you for putting these together. I am going through the series now (bought the DVD box set) and am enjoying watching your summaries.
I'm so glad you enjoy the videos. Have fun with your Columbo marathon!
Don Ameche was so famous that, after making the film about Alexander Graham Bell, the common expression to indicate that someone was on the phone was to say that that person was “on the Ameche.”
Really? That is very interesting!
Once again our thoughts align. What an ending! I love how the episode just ends on Dale Kingston's panicked, devastated, recriminations.
I agree!!
This is great work you're doing here there's so many Colombo fans out there including myself and it's really cool that someone is giving us all this information. Keep it up 👍
I'm so glad you enjoy it!
Just realized after always loving it that it's Ross Martin that makes it work.
Definitely
@@WatchitforDays I wrote that before hearing your own take. This was a great video your channel will grow.
Just re-watched your 'Suitable for Framing' synopsis again. Luv it! Your's are the most comprehensive dissections of Columbo episodes available on CZcams. This episode is one of the few times Columbo gets called out for his stalkery. Dale said "You came all the way out here to tell me that??!!?" Priceless! Wish more of his victims woulda asked him that question more often. Because the reason(s) for his incessant visits (just happening to bump into -or- just in the neighborhood) were often never explained. Are most homicides solved by the police detective just loitering around a suspect 24/7?
I really appreciate your kindness! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the episode, too 😊
I'm digging your breakdowns. You are making these fun to watch.
Thank you, Darryl! I appreciate it ❤️
This channel is full of the kind of love that i have for the show. Thank you for knowing all this stuff about it!
I'm so happy you enjoy the videos❤️
Great video!
Thx for making these!
Thank you for watching!
I just discovered you today. You are terrific. Thank you for your content!!! Definity subscribed with a bell notification. I can't wait to hear more of your research, knowledge, and reverence for these old shows!!!!
Aww, thank you very much!!!
“Gives her a good one” had my cracking up. I’ve been loving these commentaries, and cannot wait until you get to “Any Old Port In A Storm”!
Thank you very much! I'm so happy to hear you got a laugh out of it ❤️
💞 Love the research and context! Thank you!
I really appreciate your encouragement, thank you very much❤️
I'm currently binging your amazingly detailed reviews, and as a Dutch Columbo fan I'm proud to hear that you're half Dutch! Bedankt voor deze geweldige serie en ik trakteer je op een kop koffie.☕😊
I'm so happy you're here!! Dankjewel voor de koffie ❤️
Ross Martin was a brilliant comic talent. They are always the best dramatic actors... they have that range. Ross was perfection in this episode. Undiagnosed (apparently) heart disease took him away from us way too soon... just 61 years old. That Marylin apartment is not on LaCienege.. but blocks west on Doheney. My friends lived in that very one for a few years. It's been torn down. I love looking at Don Ameche. There's even a hit song that mentions him (and Clark Gable) in a very thirsty way, from the days when he was the top Matinee Idol. You just know the scene is important when he is in it. Those groovy apartments are out by Capitol Records. I think I see my parent's station wagon (from before I came along) And my grandma's sedan. Just like theirs anyway. Those buildings are still there. Looking all mid-century and cool. Mary Wicks is a NATIONAL TREASURE! Walt Disney valued her highly! I discovered a rarely discussed role of hers on CZcams from a Disney TV show called "Annette" from 1957 where she plays the wisest wise cracking house keeper ever. She was the first to play Mary Poppins! She was also the animation model for Cruella DeVille a mere 9.5 years before shooting Columbo. Can you imagine? They got lucky when they found her available for this gig. Here is a perfect short documentary about Mary: czcams.com/video/0yFM2CH98HI/video.html
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this amazing comment! I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
thanks for the link
enjoyed it
16:46 the statue "Spirit of a Dead Dog" from Playback is in the corner.
Oh my goodness, I didn't see that!! Wow, very observant of you, good job!
Columbo is probably my favorite of the tv detectives. I love these videos of your and the facts you list as well as your quirky sense of humor. Thanks for making these and i am looking forward to many more from you!
Thank you, Mark! What a wonderfully kind comment. I am about half way done with the next episode, "Lady in Waiting."
Very creative ending with the scroll, and the sorry and thank you clips :)
Thank you very much :)
I really enjoy listening to your humorous analysis, while I'm drawing! Looking forward to the next one
I really appreciate that! Thank you very much :) What do you like to draw?
My father regretted not having the money to take pictures of me as a kid (there's a handful maybe). Years later when he had a little bit more money, he bought a fancy camera for my brother's birth. He took hundreds, probably thousands, of photos of my brother and everyone in general. I got so annoyed by this since it would take him a long time to get set up.
This is a very interesting story about your father. Thank you for sharing :)
I just discovered your channel yesterday (and subscribed to it), and this is the second video of yours I've watched. I grew up watching Columbo, and recently I watched all of them for free online. I love see see analyses of my favorite movies and shows. I think your commentary is very amusing. I'll be watching more over my next few dinners.
Thank you very much! Columbo is my favorite show. I hope your dinners will be delicious!
Your remarks are hilarious, wholesome and cheeky. I attended art school btb, so in addition to being poor, I think I can answer your Rembrandt question as per your request. Rembrandt was a notoriously eccentric and rebellious artist in his day and did not do things by the Academic book , so to speak. According to Art historian Filippo Baldinucci in 1686, "He disdained everybody and wouldn’t allow the greatest monarch in the world to interrupt him when he was working".
Thank you very much for your kind words AND for helping me answer the Rembrandt question!
just loved it. i am enjoying the rhythm of your commentary. This includes the investigation of the minor actors. your kinda solving mysteries within a mystery. Next level review style. I do not believe anyone else has it yet.
Thank you very much! Your encouragement means a lot to me :)
We await your episodes like we did the originals!
The research and commentary breathe new life into old art, many thanks for your under valued efforts ❤
Thank you for your amazing kindness, Dave
Bless you so much for your hard work, the inventive idea of putting these together, and your wonderful humor and research.
Aww, thank you very much 😊
The music at the art exhibition contains at least some (I can't quite tell how much) of Modeste Mussorgsky's Promenade from the collection Pictures at an Exhibition, which is meant to convey to composer's experience of walking around and looking at paintings at an exhibition. Promenade specifically represents him entering the exhibition.
Very interesting! Thank you for sharing this information :)
I really enjoy these reviews. Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much, Antonio :)
I enjoyed the detail and depth of this review! I subbed and will be watching more of your reviews, keep it up!
Thank you very much, George!
Father Dowling was beyond underrated! As a young Columbo fan I want to commend you for this channel! Truly amazing work!!!
I really appreciate that, thank you very much!!
This is one of my favorites as well, probably top 5. I am excited for when you get to season 4 and my favorite episode, Negative Reaction.
I am stoked to have found your channel as I am a huge Columbo fan, and your videos are a wonderful complement to each episode.
Thank you very much, I'm so glad you're here! I also love Negative Reaction ❤️
Another fine review. I will never be able to watch Columbo again without thinking what I missed or trying to remember where I had seen the extras before. That is the most enjoyable way of spoiling the entertainment value for me 😅. Kudos.
I'm sure happy you enjoy the videos :)
I'm always fascinated by all the TV shows the various individuals were involved in that I have never heard of. I'm 69 so my personal TV viewing, that I can recall, goes back to 1959-1960. No memory or awareness of many of the shows you name. Just surprises me. I do recall Columbo in real time, as well as the other shows in that rotation. McMillian and Wife was another favorite. Thank goodness Columbo didn't do those corny car chases that were such a staple then. Got the cigars wrong again. Have not received my shirt yet. Looking forward to that. Love your channel.
Thank you for sharing! It took a while to receive my shirt, too. I suppose they have a lot of things to print so it takes a while since the products are printed on demand. I hope it shows up soon! They will send an email when it ships. Thank you for your support!
Very informative. I like how you introduce the actors and point out continuity issues and other glitches I never noticed. By the way, the painting in Edna's living room is the same one hanging in Joanna Ferris's home in Murder by the Book. And what's with that owl behind the bar? This woman advised her ex-husband as he built one of the world's great art collections, and she's got this thing on her wall that looks like it was picked up at a garage sale.
Always something new to find! I didn't notice the repeated painting in Edna's house from the Ferris house, thank you! Also, your owl picture comment made me laugh 😊 Valid point, for sure!
Thank you very much!
Thank YOU very much!
From one Super Fan to another, your work here is outstanding…from your great research in to the actors, to the details regarding props and such, you have managed to inform & inthrall me greatly…thank you!

Really, really great job. I love your sensibility on our cultural heritage. It's unusually sharp. You have a gift. All the best.
You are extremely kind, thank you very much, my friend!
Hildy (the woman at the 19:30 mark) was played by Odessa Cleveland. I recognized her from MASH and did some extra research (I think I like research as much as you do lol)
I truly appreciate you sharing your findings and helping credit the uncredited ✨
Thank you for doing these reviews.
I saw aunt Edna in a Mission: Impossible episode a wile ago and she is playing a very different character in M:I, a Femme Fatale.
I'm happy to know you're enjoying them! Thank you for sharing where you've seen Aunt Edna lately :)
I love these videos. The detail and your delivery are perfect. Thank you
