I'm working my way through the revival episodes and so far the sex therapist one is the best of the bunch.

Dick Van Dyke as a killer of the week was incredible because despite playing a terrible man he still seems really likeable.

I have the feeling if they'd tried to make a 20+ episode season of Columbo it would've ended like Kolchak: a one-season wonder that the star himself pulled the plug on because it was getting stale fast.

Commodore just wasn't a good episode. I say this as someone who went into it with an entirely open mind about it. Exactly two moments in the episode work: the twist in the middle and the very last shot.

Columbo titles are usually significant in more than one way. It's quite clever.

Since I've picked up where I left off in the revival episodes, I gotta say that Murder in Malibu really, really fails hard. It tries to do a variation on the Last Salute to the Commodore twist in the middle but fouls it up to the point that I still don't believe the actual murderer was the murderer, which is kind of a problem for a show about a murder. In fact the whole episode feels like the production team accidentally filmed the rough draft of the story by mistake.

Gildiss posted:I understood the baffling defense of Commodore in this thread once I reached the Ed McBain episodes. Then I knew how they could say it wasn't the worst. I haven't hit the Ed McBain ones yet but I say the worst Columbo is "Murder in Malibu", which was so bad I didn't believe the murderer did it even after he confessed. At least Commodore tried to shake things up a bit even if it completely failed, and the last scene with Columbo in the rowboat is pretty drat good.

piratepilates posted:It is in my eyes definitely the worst one. Stevens appeared as the "villain" in a movie shown on the latest season of MST3K. I joked about him being a Columbo villain if Columbo was about a guy ratting out his neighbors to their HOA for not sorting their recycling properly or something, then said something about him being a poor man's Robert Culp that nobody was poor enough to actually need. I bring this up because I said all this before I saw "Murder in Malibu".

Davros1 posted:They should just use all those the commentary and interviews with Falk from the DVDs. I would give a major organ to hear an in-character Peter Falk episode commentary. In fact I've decided to become a devout Christian based solely on the possibility of such a thing existing in Heaven.

Takes No Damage posted:That one still bugs me. Probably the most brutal sadistic murder in the whole show, and Columbo seems to really like the guy To be fair, his brother really sucked.
