Columbo: I really wanna win this Wii but the piss I gotta hold in making me feel like I'm gonna die. Me: Just ignore it that means you got to the threshold once ur past this part you basically wont gotta pee But in reality I knew it was bad for him cuz I wanted him to die from holding in his piss

Monk's good but it's not on the same level as Columbo, Kojak or Ironside.

monk's interesting because unlike most tv detectives, his adversary is his own broke brain instead of the killer. once he gets a tiny reprieve from his problems monk instantly solves the case. it's still not columbo tier, of course.

This is the point where I'd ask for a restraining order, file a complaint of harassment or plainly get out of town. You read the paper, you know Columbo does this JUST STONE WALL HIM AND WALK AWAY. Don't engage the detective. Tell him you have a cold and can't come to the phone, tell him you don't remember (to every question) Don't announce you're leaving, just go and have your secretary tell everyone your out of the office for the indefinite future. If something comes up that blows your alibi don't react and certainly do spill the truth. Let him bring it to court and have your lawyer fight it.

This is what they should do, but the whole point is that they are so arrogant that they think they can outsmart Columbo. Add this to the fact that most of the time Columbo tries to act as if he isn't interested in them as suspects most of them are unwilling to escalate the level of conflict they have with him until it is too late.

bad posts ahead!!! posted:they got kinda ahead-of-their-time artsy in some of shots (glasses scene, for example) and the villain is actually pretty terrifying: https://youtu.be/lyxT_QSAYY4 And yes, it's always fun to see what the episode's director does with the story. Most of the cinematography is straightforward but you get some crazy scenes now and then. Anyway, there's three or four times when he pretty much says I'm gonna get your hide you murdering poo poo and it's always awesome to see that escalation. Great scene like that with Leonard Nimoyz

Quincy was a pretty dumb premise, why the gently caress do you have the coroner doing your investigating for you? Why do you have no first name?!  Columbo was the poo poo, so I'll let the no-first-name bit slide

Chicago Tribune posted:"The original series, which ran from 1971 to 1977, was so popular in Romania it was broadcast there twice a week. When ''Columbo'' stopped production in the U.S., suspicious Romanians thought their government had canceled the show because of import quotas. Fearing riots, the Romanian government begged the U.S. State Department to have the show`s star, Peter Falk, make a public-service announcement explaining the real reason for the demise of ''Columbo.'' Falk obliged and taped a TV spot, which he read phonetically in Romanian."

Also, let's take a moment to remember 'Columbo's massively unpopular spin-off, 'Mrs. Columbo', featuring his previously unseen wife solving some mysteries of her own. They must have been really desperate to make this show work because they changed the name FOUR times from 'Mrs. Columbo' to 'Kate Columbo', then 'Kate the Detective', before finally settling on 'Kate Loves a Mystery'. They also made some futile attempts to distance it from the Columbo property by having her get a divorce off-screen (Peter Falk never appeared on the show btw), before finally changing her last name AND the name of her ex-husband to remove her from the Columboverse altogether... all that for a series that only lasted 13 episodes. Here's the hilariously sexist intro that consists of Mrs. Columbo doing laundry, washing dishes, picking poo poo up off the floor, and generally being a good little housewife  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHPclZ0cNgA Mr. Bones fucked around with this message at 08:24 on Jul 18, 2019 |

BIG FLUFFY DOG posted:Columbo is what cops would be if cops didn't suck irl. He's intelligent, observant, polite to everyone, always catches the bad guy, and only arrests rich white people (except for that one time he arrested a rich Mexican). That is an extremely well-written summary, kudos. If you want to ruin an episode of Columbo (because you lack joy in your heart), you can play the game where you work out what single line of dialogue could be replaced by 'gently caress you. Lawyer!' and the bad guy will get away with it. Shut up Meg fucked around with this message at 09:13 on Jul 18, 2019 |

Madness posted:Monk was pretty good. Good charactrer but the writing and the way every thing plays out, it's hard to re-watch most episodes. Always he figures stuff out but then he either can't touch something, or he talks too loud, or other dumb poo poo. It's like Sherlock Holmes crossed with Three's Company but mainly the annoying parts of both.

I watched a promo in Spanish for a Hungarian (I think) TV show called Inspector Rex. Based on my limited Spanish, I believe the show was about a police dog handler and his dog named Rex. The dog may have outranked the handler because he had the title of Inspector and the handler didn't even get a name, let alone a title. Most of the drama/action stemmed from a bad guy having a gun drawn on the handler and shouting 'Where's Rex!' only to have Rex jump off a nearby filing cabinet onto the bad guy and knock the gun out of his hand. Anyway I've never seen the actual show but based on the trailer I believe Inspector Rex is the best TV detective
