God Columbo is so awesome. One of my favorite scenes in all of television is the opener to an episode where they are in a school and the dean is kind of laying into him about how lazy his kid (it seems like !!!) is, but they're actually just ripping on the dog. I might go as Columbo for Halloween this year. Gotta work on my lazy eye.

I too am a lazy millenial and the few times that Columbo has come up in discussion with people over 50, the older person is amazed that I've even heard of Columbo, let alone that I like it.

We were binge watching Columbo and found out a bunch of my friends had never watched it. So we had them over and had a Columbo party. We watched the next episode in the queue, and it ended up being some BORING episode with computers or a tv station or something. It had like thirty minutes of a CRT monitor making shapes, it was probably amazing back in 1950 or whatever, but all my friends fell asleep watching it and it was so embarrassing. Also, I don't believe there's a Mrs. Columbo. It's pretty clear he's a single crazy person living in a studio apartment and she's just a construct he uses for solving crimes.

Are you sure you were watching Columbo instead of the title sequence for Halloween 3: season of the witch?

he talks to her on the phone when no one else was in the room during the wine episode. he tried unsuccessfully to learn what day they had gone out for a picnic. if his wife isnt real, he fakes it for more for himself than for murder investigations. i think that pretending that mrs. columbo doesnt exist would make more sense, though.

True, but this could have been to cover his rear end if Carsini came out of the cellar since the cellar door was open and he may have overheard Columbo. Also, Carsini's secretary was in the next room. But that definitely gave me pause too since he's not really within earshot of anyone as far as we can tell.

also i really like how he finds suspects by pointing out inconsistencies and then pressing the people who defend their version of events when they should have no reason to do so.

I love how he gets people to help him 'investigate' the whole time thinking 'lol you dumb fucker, your interest in the case just makes me positive you're the murderer I was suspecting and now I'm going to trip you right the gently caress up.'

Exactly. I read an interview where Hitchcock said it's the difference between having a bomb blow up and kill everyone or revealing to the audience at the beginning that a bomb is going to go off if someone doesn't stop it. Warm und Fuzzy posted:He tricked a guy into planting evidence in his apartment once. It looked exactly like you'd expect. It had like a chair in it. That wasn't Columbo's actual apartment. He rented it specifically to catch this guy.

Moridin920 posted:armchair DAs who have no idea about poo poo lmao actually its because columbo's solutions are all based on circumstancial evidence, and spergs intentionally harassing the suspect into confessing to a crime that they might not have even commit, just to get him to stop in Columbo's case the only reason he wins is because he manages to guilt the suspect into confessing, without the confession nothing holds up in court neither of those make the shows any less entertaining to watch, just something worth talkin' aboot

Has anyone ever watched those "Don't talk to police" youtube vids? All the murderers have to do is not talk to Columbo and just say "I have nothing to say".

I watched Double Exposure yesterday, and it's probably one of the more patently ridiculous episodes I've seen. Subliminal cuts! Also, arguing over whether or not Columbo's methods or findings would hold up in the real world is far spergier than any of Columbo's behavior. It's a TV show jesus christ
