>tfw got the whole series boxset at Christmas

I can't, that's the best episode

It turns out this show is fucking 90 minutes long per episode. It's a great watch, but god damn. I liked the pilot but I didn't realize this was a fucking movie series.

based Columbo

Shatner was also quite good.

Which Shatner though?

This show makes me feel like looking like a slob makes me smart.

Ricardo Montalbán as the evil matadore

The way he magically finds a witness of the whole thing in last minute is pure genius.

Just one more thing, sir... This has really been bothering me... Earlier, you said that you were aboard a plane on the night of the murder, and you have the flight plan to prove it... and as we both know, the victim was shot but what doesn't add up is... you see, he was also on the flight plan, using another name... so tell me sir... just an idea, but if the killer was on that plane, why would he shoot the victim instead of simply, oh I don't know, throwing him out of the plane?

Right, every epiode is great. Columbo is Kino, watched it when I was a child many times.

Same (Christmas 2016 tho) but haven't finished yet, still have one more 70s season to go and then the 90s revival

...

>people shittalking the best detective show
grow up

best episode: Sky High IQ

nice

Big post

im quite large for a man of your stature

Mark ruffalo would be perfect for this

well done user

Gonna rewatch Prescription: Murder tonight. Possibly the best pilot in history?

I'm getting pretty sick and tired of all your Bane posting, Lieutenant.

that's literally the character he played in Spotlight

i remember the mad magazine version was called Clodumbo

Literally my comfiest show ever. Have dvd box.
Sick with bad cold high temperatures? Columbo binge.
Bad day? Columbo.
Good day? Columbo.

Really all the episodes, even the 80s till 2003 run, which was really weak, are great. Thing is Peter Falk was great actor, he had incredible presence as Columbo.

Also it's nice to see the 70s (the weird decors, the clothes, cars, technology, etc).

I need to set up my old laptop to just have Columbo running 24/7.

got me

>filename

really like the fugu poisoning chef one, Murder Under Glass, which was directed by Jonathan Demme. In trying to find the name of the ep, I see that John Cassavettes directed an ep, too

>Columbo: Etude In Black (1972, co-director, uncredited)
>episode was credited to Nicholas Colosanto, a real director (and actor – he played Tommy Como in Raging Bull) who was supposed to direct, but was taken ill: Cassavetes and Peter Falk decided to co-direct the episode, so long as the credit (and director’s fee) went to their friend Nick. This has given rise to the ‘rumour’ that ‘Nick Colosanto’ is a pseudonym for Cassavetes, and that anything credited to Colosanto (such as an episode of Shaft in 1973 and the other Columbo episodes) is really Cassavetes’ work. However, this is incorrect.

>it's a Columbo Mirror Universe episode

>that episode where columbo does a tuba solo and leads a load of school kids on a march
they should never have brought it back in the late 80s

the ep with Johnny Cash was pretty good. There was an OK ep with the broad from Sex and the City when she was still hot, but the cool part was that the murderer was a film studies prof and there's a bunch of film talk and memorabilia in the ep. I liked the resolution of the one where the guy is trying to funnel money to the IRA.

Leonard Nemoy

that reminds me captain janeway was cast in the spin off about his wife

youtu.be/eHPclZ0cNgA

when i think columbo, i think budapest, hungary

>tfw Kate Mulgrew is really good but the show is pointless and bad

wasn't it just columbo but with a smart person? ie murder she wrote

Mad magazine was so fucking lame. Even at its best.

>t. William Shatner

Donald Pleasance is perfect at that particular "suspicious mole" look that he does.

Why is there a Tito Larraín from Casado con hijos thread on Sup Forums?

Fuck you

>first episode of columbo

...

Columbump.

its the little moments on Sup Forums

I'm more inclined to think that there never was a Mrs. Columbo.

No it didn't pleb.

Jack Cassidy in any of his appearances, though I'm not aware of a bad villain.

If Columbo came up behind your girlfriend and tried to ask you just one more question, what would you do to avoid answering it? Could you?

OK, I want everybody out there to tell me who your favorite detective is.
Is it MAN-NIXXX?
Barnaby JOOONES?
Aw, somebody say COLUMBO

Patrick McGoohan was the greatest, especially his first and last

I can make you cry, Sup Forums.

A few years prior to his death, Falk had expressed interest in returning to the role. In 2007 he claimed he had chosen a script for one last Columbo episode, "Columbo: Hear No Evil". The script was renamed "Columbo's Last Case". ABC declined the project. In response, producers for the series announced that they were attempting to shop the project to foreign production companies. However, Falk was diagnosed with dementia in late 2007. During a 2009 court trial over Falk's care, Dr Stephen Read stated that the actor's condition had deteriorated so badly that Falk could no longer remember playing a character named Columbo, nor could he identify who Columbo was. Falk died on June 23, 2011, aged 83.

>that one episode where columbo subverted his formula and actually had to figure out who the murderer was at the end but I wasn't paying attention at the start so it made no difference to me

I wish he'd just thought he was columbo for real

He was basically doing a Columbo cosplay in Zodiac

>laughs manically

That was a pretty inventive mystery, I particularly enjoyed the search warrant in the operation room.

I remember another strange one though, that episode where a gunshot sound could open a door up a set of stairs. I really didn't think the sound waves from a pistol could produce such an effect.
