Taught me to remain silent

Defiantly carved out there own lane with that one

What gets me is the Gumnaam theme tune at the start lol. Columbo is one of my top three shows of all time.

Love the music you use on this video, it’s a very classy production overall 👍

The mystery in Columbo is "How in the world is he gonna solve this one?"

Thank you for this - I haven't seen Columbo since I was a teenager. Now I must find some episodes!

Had NO idea the show wasn't one production: i LOVE the later ones just as much - and I REALLY don't get your criticism of them - but thanks for the information.

And Columbo's raincoat, like the shroud of the grim reaper, that inevitable always catch you at the end. And the Chili, never forget a good chili. PS: One of my favorite episodes is the one is wife give him a new coat and Columbo can't think with it on. And spend the rest of the episode trying to lose or forget, but people always return the coat to him. And you can see and feel his desperation, he don't wana tell is wife that he hate that coat XD.

Poor guy died in a fire at home in real life. Smoking kills kids x

23:18 is very straightforward. the person got the shits really hard. decided to go somewhere private to have his catastrophe and then washed up and went back to finish his set. for gym rats on PE having sudden shits is absolutely common.

Nice use of the music from Rounders. I see what you're doing there ;)

Even as a child, Columbo was drivel. He was for grandparents too sleepy to last to the end, so the plot was just unnecessary. He was like listening to an audio-book you have already read, just so you can get to sleep.

COLUMBO HAD RESPECT FOR THE PEOPLE HE HAD TO ARREST HE ALWAYS SHOWEDTHAT IT'S NOTHING PERSONAL AND HE WAS A GREAT CHEF HE LOVED TO COOK EGG'S DIFFERENT SOUPS DINNER 🍽️ JUST A NICE GUY RESPECT FOR COLUMBO REST IN PEACE AND HEAVEN NOW AND ENTERNALY GREATFUL OF ALL HIS FILMS . MO JUDGEMENT HERE HAVE A PEACEFUL EVENING ✨ KD.

I think out of all the episodes, I only am less fond of like 3. Columbo had some really successful ones to me after season 7.

Really good video. My dad LOVED columbo, so I often rewatch the show. Especially that original run. You brought up some really good points. Especially the class divide aspect, I completely missed it. But it's such a core part of the genius of the show.

A top episode with the best actor.

'That's just an illusion'...... ooooooohhhhhhh mike drop 👌

Humble, hardworking and a tad greedy if he can get away with it. Very relatable.

Being chased by Columbo is like being bitten to death by a snap turtle 🐢

Thank you so much for citing your sources because right after i went to read the case of oscar brodski and the acompanying essay. What a fun and interesting read!

My favorite is the camera scene with Dick VanDyck

anyone who hasnt seen Falk in Under The Influence watch it Fantssticly touching movie he did with his friend John Casavates directing❤

This series every episode is watching a battle of whits and one side is unarmed

This is a fantastic, insightful breakdown of the magic of Columbo and has helped me contextualise my appreciation of other detective shows. Subscribed and will be back to watch it again!

"nicolae ceausescu this court finds you guilty and sentences you to the Columbia Dimension"

Awesome video!

I just love how consistent it is that it really doesn't matter how your conversation with columbo goes, if he starts to walk out the door, and then turns around and says, "oh, one more thing", at that point you're just cooked. He's about to hit you with the game over and there is nothing you can do about it.

well i though it was funny that he chose a clip from one of the 'who done it' episodes. 🙂

Omg this series is pure inspiration fuel

It's wild to me that they made essentially 40+ movies.

Hate to admit I was only 7 years old when this show premiered, but I've always liked it 😅😀

Another really good thing about Columbo is a lot of the villains in the show were played by people who always fit more of a heroic style. People like Dick van Dyke, Johnny Cash, William Shatner, all of them are known for being good people or playing heroic characters. So having it flipped on its head where they're the villains threw people off quite a bit.

Incredible History Beautiful work Now this is Real Romanian History

Peter Falk’s career obsession with Columbo is explained in one simple lesson I learned long ago When Samual L Jackson star’s in a movie He isn’t playing that character He’s playing Samual L Jackson Then that character For Peter it’s a bit more the opposite but the point is there He is Columbo; Columbo is Him He’s playing Himself He’s more into it than many other actors Not Leonardo DiCaprio nor Brad Pitt playing Themselves with different clothes in a different Context He is Columbo He is the show Columbo is Him

Immaculate Comfort Incredible Art Columbo is so Adorable His entire character is seemingly just underwhelming or unremarkable Something His opposition lack After watching Columbo obliterate Light Yagami in a 14 Minute skit I gotta say; He’s the better detective

A western set in the east… “Just one more thing. This Magnificent 7 film seems to share alot of similarities with Akira Kurosawa’s classic masterpiece, Seven Samurai. Would you know anything about that, Mr. John Sturges?”

This video is so good! Definitely one of my favorite Columbo video essays!!

At 5:10 a rendition of the Tahiti Trot by Dimitri Shostakovsky starts playing. It's missing from the "Music" section in the description. It also could be some version of "Tea for two" I always mix these songs up.

Columbo is the greatest detective. Show is awesome all the little details he uses makes it amazing.

Literally my favourite show/detective ❤

Columbo used the music from Charade?

I would love to see the stats on how many (or how few) of his cases ended in convictions, his evidence was so often wafer thin.

I like the show on the intellectual level, you would watch a person commit what look like the perfect crime, and you would wonder how they would ever get caught...

I would love to see more of these stories and to be fair Pokerface gets us pretty darn close 🙏🏼

Now I just want a Columbo, monk, and psych crossover

Very good review. Columbo was a magical show. A perfect combination of writing, acting, atmosphere. It was truly a show of its time. And uh... oh. Nice profile picture. My niece studies art in college. She keeps showing me these new art pictures. I don't get them at all you know. I leave that to her, I try to appreciate it though, must have been a lot of work going on into there. Where was I again? Ah yes, so the show required and perfectly wirtten main character and a perfect actor for it. Can't forget that. Oh and one more thing. The wife.

Oh wow, William Shatner showing his acting range about 8 minutes in. It took me a moment to recognize him. Columbo is also a show where you love rooting for Columbo to catch the killers, and finding out where the holes in the cover stories and alibis are is the best part. :)

While the episodes were enjoyable, one of the best moments was when a character (NOT a murderer) told Columbo "you have an obtuse manner that many may find charming . . . I do not." Columbo was brilliant but also an absolute jerk, disrupting funerals, film sets, dinners, sound sets all to affirm his role as some kind of idiot savant who had no social grace at all but should be forgiven because of his skill as a detective. Some of the best moments were when he got set straight with a verbal reprimand for his frequent inexcusable behavior.

I never could stand Columbo. The same schtick every time.

I wonder if anyone else besides me compares Columbo to inspector Goole
