I actually really like Columbo Goes To The Guillotine. It's really blatant that they just put James Randi in a Columbo episode, but it's a lot of fun if you enjoy the theatre of magic as well as the show.

Yeah I just watched that one and it was different by just enough, but it was fine I think. Like, every shot was so dark. that was throwing everything off for me. And we kind of did this theme (magic tricks) before, even the same trick guillotine ("Now You See Him...", 05x05).

I kinda wonder if Columbo made sure both sides were SAFE. Seems like a risk to assume the guy was going to kill you. It had the same style of ending as the one with the psychologist and two dogs trained to kill episode ("How to Dial a Murder", 07x04) where Columbo would put himself in what looks like harms way to get a confession or another piece of evidence. However, in the dog episode we saw the hard work over many days Columbo and the dog trainer put into deprogramming and retraining the Kill command in those dogs so he was always safe.

drat those are cool.

Just watched s5e5 Now You See Him, hot diggity that is some strong Columbo. That's a fun one, Jack Cassidy is too dang delicious in his evilness. Falk is a delight as ever too, and just so much style and fun mood to it.

Yeah s5e5 is great. Love the scene where Columbo tricks him into picking the handcuff lock. That knowing look at the end is so good.

There's a scene similar to this one in s4e4, Troubled Waters (the cruise ship), at the end when Columbo has finally positioned the murderer into a confession but instead of confessing the murderer tries again to wiggle free. There's a look of joy on Columbo's face as if to say "Oh!? Sure, let's keep this back and forth going. What cards do you have left to play?"



As an aside, anyone ever notice sometimes Columbos suit seems to be a bit pinkish? Or am I losing it? 😂

It's hard to completely dislike the Commodore episode though. So many funny scenes, like Columbo yelling over the sounds at the dock, even if the overall structure didn't work and the the final reveal was weak.

Season 7 episode 2 is the one where Columbo just gets fed by every man in LA, gets in an Italian argument with the victims nephew and also it’s only like an hour long. It’s an excellent episode.
