I think the best Columbos are the ones where you can sympathise with the killer. You know they did it, you know Columbo is hot on their trail and you almost hope they get away with it and Columbo almost wishes it too. The Ruth Gordon one is the best example. "Just think Lieutenant. If you had investigated my nieces death all this need never have happened."  I still think people should watch the modern Columbos. There are still good bits and episodes there. I'd just randomly mix them into the watching of the older classics. Who the guest star is is generallly a good clue of what the quality will be.There is no continuity in the series that needs to be followed other than Columbo's dog.

BIG FLUFFY DOG posted:The tv executive who murders her lover when he doesn't promote her alienates everyone and ends up getting fired too. Columbo has a real 70s view on women in business. That character has a fantastic breakdown scene. One of the best scenes of the entire series I think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdVFI2cZ4mI

ultrabindu posted:Great little bit in Robert Culp's first episode where the attempted cover up of the crime is played in the lenses of his glasses Well to tell you the truth sir, I knew it was you from the first moment I first meet you. You see sir, you forgot to turn on the replay of the murder on your glasses. I just could'nt get it out of my head. And you know how these little things keep me up all night. Also just realised the evidence that catches Culp out at the end of that episode was a contact lens...

PantsOptional posted:I know you all mentioned it, but I don't think I was quite ready for how bad Commodore is. I'm halfway through and this may be the first episode I'm thinking of skipping through. Commodore is great. It's the one episode of the series that makes the audience feel like they are the murderer.
