I'm watching for free on TUBI, with commercials. I absolutely adore Columbo. Even though you know who the killer is. Many of the guest stars were Falk's friends, and many were famous stars back in the day

The one scene I can't unsee is (IIRC) Dabney Colman (or a facsimile thereof) at a traffic light with a camera, creating an alibi.
But what the heck, I'm a photographer and I notice little details.
Calling all Peugeot fans! All both of you.
Sacre Bleu. Quel merde.

It feels so relevant to what's happening these days.

(14,674 posts)That it's a howdunit rather than a whodunit adds tension to soft-boiled Columbo's unraveling of so many "perfect" murders.
The guest stars are a parade of fine actors.
A nice twist on detective stories.

(13,216 posts)My mom loved mysteries but not Columbo bc you knew who the killer was right away. So we didn't watch it in the 70s. I watch it free now on TUBI. it has all the episodes and newer movies.
