![]() ![]() But it is Billy Connolly’s worthless ersatz villain in “Too many Notes” that truly marks the lowest point in the entire canon – not that you would guess that from Columbophile’s faint praise even (!) of the Gorbals unfunnyman… Maybe worse is to come in the very last instalment….but you know … I don’t think I can be bothered to even read about it.Columbo or Lieutenant Columbo is the main character in the American detective crime drama television series Columbo created by Richard Levinson and William Link. “Trace” is also fascinating as a worthy precursor of the CSI franchise, which not surprisingly completely overhauled & superceded tired old dross like the awful fag end of the Columbo run. ![]() Sweaty, sultry “A Bird in the Hand” is a massively better episode than he rates it, as is “A Trace of Murder” – a completely riveting re-working of Double Indemnity with an excellent suave murderer in the persona of Patrick Kinsley (David Rasche – an intelligent subtly charismatic, handsome presence, fit to have graced any of the classic episodes… contrary to what CP would have you believe). New readers should be aware that the long term strain of creating & maintaining this truly magnificent enterprise has clearly taken its toll on Columbophile, who, truth to tell, has stumbled badly in his judgments as he nears the finish line. Despite the inconsistencies, from episode to episode, and decoupling with reality on various occasions, Columbo is always entertaining! Peter Falk, I couldn’t help but drink up all the info here and started keeping track of all the repeat contributors. And for the record… Shera Danese’s frequent appearances is what motivated me to find out why and that search brought me here. All in all, Peter Falk is what makes Columbo great. We know many actors did other detectives, and respectably so. Columbo really does exist in our hearts as the iconic genius detective. From its intricate plots full of details and clues to the great performances of classic characters portrayed by the best. However, the magic of its believability is what we all love. There is a clear disregard for reality on many levels throughout, from beginning to end. It’s been a great delight and I love Columbo even more than ever, and all the comments, too! But in the end, Columbo is fantastic fiction. I have reviewed the various comments and watched all of the episodes many times and sometimes while listening to episodes as described on the Columbophile Blog.
