Not a good idea to accuse Charlie of a crime like that. He might wish you out of existence.
Robert Walker Jr. may indeed always be hauntingly remembered for Star Trek: Charlie X. Jose Ferrer, Jessica Walter and of course Robby the Robot are also among Columbo’s most noteworthy guest stars.
Ha, Twilight Zone's creepiest episode?
@@christopherecatalano I've heard it argued that Charlie X was inspired by It's a Good Life.
@@WUZLE He was also Billy the Kid in the Time Tunnel if memory serves?
@@kevinfitzsimons41 I barely remember the Time Tunnel. I saw the other Irwin Allen shows but somehow I mostly missed that one.
Robby the Robot in a Columbo episode, and he doesn’t get to interview the robot?
it probably would solve the case immediately if asked
I can't stand that whimp of a wet noodle son..love the episode tho ..
Robby the Robot cost MGM over $100,000 or about $1,000,000 in today's dollars, for one episode in Forbidden Planet. Since it was so expensive MGM wanted to get their money's worth out of that robot and so he appeared in over 40 movies and TV shows over the years including this Columbo episode. One thing that was different though was Robby didn't have his legs in this show. He usually has two legs that look like stacked balloons, but in this show he has the lower body that looks like a rolling pedestal.
Robby the Robot has had a Hollywood career that most humans would envy. He started out in 1956 and I think his last appearance was in 2006, as of today. He was sold at auction for over $5,300,000.
Columbo gives him one last cigar before going to jail, class act
In the old days, they used to give out a cigarette before the execution. But Columbo prefers more sophisticated offerings when his adversary is brilliant in some special way.
That boy genius is now closing in on retirement age
Is this boy around 60 years old as of 2024?
@greyfoxstar he's currently 62 November 3rd he turns 63
@@jayexile2487 He was older than Jose Ferrer at the time.
Everyone else deleted.
Everyone knows that hitting a man with a 1973 Triumph is Fatal...for the Triumph driver!!
Danger, Lt Columbo!! Danger!!
Wrong robot.
@@r0bw00d oh really?? *DAMMIT*
@@asecretone I know. It sucks. Your comment drew from Robot, which came from the TV show _Lost in Space._ Robby the Robot is best known from the movie _Forbidden Planet._
Robbie the robot sure gets around. 😂
From 1956 to 2006, Robby the Robot appeared in over 40 movies and TV shows, so yeah, he gets around.
i remember this one with the staged arrest and the two smoking cigars at the end, another great one
One of the last appearances of poor aging Robby...even at his old age ,, he still took over every scene he was in
Early appearance of Robby II.
70s haircuts were wild lol
One of those youngsters was Robert Walker, Jr., who played Charlie X in the original Star Trek series!
and Ensign Pulver prior to that.
@@dashcroft1892 He was Pulver? His head didn't looks so weirdly shaped in that one.
It took me a few minutes to understand the title here. There were two boy geniuses in the episode, the son of the murderer and the young boy who made the robot. The dark secret of the son refers to the fact he stole the scientific formula from another scientist who went back to his own country, and claimed it was his.
One of my favourite episodes. I will always think of the son as "Charlie X" on the original "Star Trek" and "Billy The Kid" on an episode of the "Time Tunnel", and the father as Capt. Nemo in a telemovie made in the late 70's called "The Return Of Capt. Nemo", where his 19th century submarine is found and he is thawed out of cryogenic sleep a century later to help stop a 20th century sci-fi submarine. His aggressive attitude to Columbo immediately got Columbo's suspicions going.
0:44 not sure but is the "scientist" the same fellow that played Emperor Shaddam IV on Lynch's "Dune"?
Yep, Jose Ferrer
@@jsphinx22 it was his voice! Thank you
So weird without his beard but voice is very noticeable
From the evil Turkish Bey whose sexual advances were rebuffed by Peter O'Toole in Lawrence of Arabia, to the confident and competent defense attorney in The Caine Mutiny, and a host of other roles, José Ferrer has been a true star of stage and screen.
Weak episode saved by a fantastic final scene
Yeah
Once again, an odometer plays a crucial role.
Those are some really fancy fleet vehicles for a scientific organization.
Danger, Danger, Will Robinson. Oh wrong robot!
"I figured sooner or later you'd get around to asking me where I was on the night of the murder."
"Why, that's very thoughtful of you. I can't imagine how I forgot to ask that question."
That kid grew up fast.
Great cast in this one.
The space robot kinda makes it less believable...
I was thinking the same thing. 😂😂
Later Columbo episodes always feel a bit off
The great Jose Ferrer.
I have just watched this episode last night on Cozi Tv.
I always liked that kid - love his hair! I think he & young Jodie Foster were prob my favorite kids from the '70s shows & movies. We know roughly how Jodie's doing these days, I hope he's as happy & well out there somewhere!
Isn't that Jessica Walter (perhaps better known from her role as Lucille Blunt in Arrested Development) at around 3:00?
Oh cool a another recap I really enjo- Robbie the robot!?
I'm guessing Peter Falk did this episode under protest after the prop department rolled-in the robot from 'Forbidden Planet'.
Who knew Shaddam IV was so devious.
So what was the dark truth about the boy genius? All he did was see a flim.
I'm not sure, but I interpreted it as he didn't get much chance to be a normal boy.
He was referring to Neil Cahill son of Marshall Cahill the murderer. Everybody who worked at the institute including the son of the murderer was considered a genius in their own field. The young boy with the robot obviously had nothing to do with stealing another scientists work and passing it off as his own in order to get the scientist of the year award.
3:00 My Kind of Boss!
1:52 He's putting his DNA all over the cigar, Now it conclusively places him at the scene of the crime and theirs your murderer!
Back then they didn't know! That's why police are solving many cases today. That movie in the 90's with Woody Harrelson he was even an investigator and uses an envelope. "They can trace that?"
You are in the wrong decade :)
@@user-nr8vj3qf5l True but police are also now solving decades old cold cases before DNA, using investigative Genetic Genealogy (IGG), which combines DNA analysis with genealogical research to crack previously unsolvable cases.
Danger Danger...Will Rogers!
Hey lookee, it’s Cyrano, the Padishah Emperor.
do they have drive ins any more?
There’s one left in Massachusetts
Sunset drive in
San luis Obispo
Here in Southern California very few still in operation. Got the South Bay in San Diego, the SkyView in Barstow and the Rubidoux and Van Buren Drive-ins in Riverside. I miss them an awful lot. I remember 40 years ago it seemed like there was a drive-in standing on every other corner out here. Sweet nostalgia...
@@Richard-xo2gm here is an idea, "drive in theater/ EV recharging station"
The boy genius Steve Spelburg
Charlie X plagiarizes some science.
Charles Xavier?
@@faszikilawang8445 Charlie X from Star Trek TOS
I rather liked this episode. It's certainly far from the "weak" episode so many painted it as before I watched.
👍👍👍
That '74 Laguna S-3 is cool! My brother had one in the same colour! Just like Watch it for Days.
Ned is dead!
Horrible tittle.
Yeah, I really don't like this episode.
Since Lee Montgomery's character has nothing to do with the "Dark Truth," it makes me wonder why you decided to use it as a promo for your presentation. The answer keeps coming up click-bait. Since that is dishonest, at least as far as representing your topic, I am thinking that I cannot trust anything you have to present.
As I understood it the title referred to Robert Walker Jr's character who played the son of the killer. The young man who played Charlie X in Star Trek. I agree it is a bit of a stretch calling him a boy.
7:23- worst acting ever
Says the worst actor yourself perhaps ! ⚠..
Columbo was just mean to Dr. Cayhill. Columbo knew Dr. Cayhill gave Murph money to take "Boy Genius" Steve to the drive-in movies and for some food. And yet, Columbo ignored Dr. Cahill's generosity and keen interest in seeing that Steve got a well-earned break from overusing his brain.
