Columbo should have really been investigating the person who perpetrated that culinary atrocity in the shape of that charred coal like lump of meaty matter ( 0:33 ) which I'm sure once consumed would be responsible for another fatality.
LOL! Well, you have to realize that in those days, hamburgers weren't full of poisons designed to give us cancer or cause heart disease. In those days most beef was actually healthy, and that was certainly not a photo of anything MacDonalds was serving. The worst thing about beef in those days was that it was salty, caused by the blocks of salt cattlemen used to supply their cows so they would lick it and become hypertensive, causing them to gain weight. Today the FDA has allowed arsenic to be put in the feed of pigs and chickens, so God only knows what they're putting in our beef. Still, eating beef once a week or so is better than going around malnourished, developing the anemic diseases that so many vegetarian animal worshipers get. Humans ARE omnivores, have been for a million years or more, and red meat is a genetic *requirement* for proper nutrition. Vegetarianism is a religion not unlike Jainism. It is NOT rooted in any scientific nutritional reality, and has long been exposed to be charlatanism, very much a religious cult.
@@ladamyre1 I mean, that hamburger is still quite atrocious looking I've made hamburgers myself, from beef from local small ranches, all natural, and those look a million times better
I still watch Columbo now.Robert Culp was so good in Columbo as a bad guy. My family take the mickey out of me saying I am old and living in the past. I don’t care, Columbo was the best detective series ever. 👍👍👍👍👍
5:05 Hilarious... Usually, murderers betray themselves by suggesting answers to Columbo's questions, even when there are no good reasons for them to know anything about the question. Here it is the opposite. The murderer betrays himself by - allegedly - not having an answer to a question in a field that he obviouly knows about! Brillant show!
08:39 "Oh of course, I should've realized, you've already done that" *pause and stare* "I have". That split second is so intense. There is a brief moment of complete honesty and openness between hunter and hunted. They both know exactly how this is going to end, yet they both choose to continue with the charade. The acting is so very convincing and true to the real thing. Nothing compares to this. That is why Columbo is and always will be the best detective series there is.
7:30 Columbo forces Dr.'s hand: "In the light of this new information I was wondering whether or not you could find it in yourself to be more helpful." Doctor has to think fast: Do I continue playing dumb or do I acknowledge my expertise?
I always love the few times when Columbo lets slip that he knows just a little bit more than he's letting on. We usually just see his interactions with the killer, but we know he's always working hard in the background. I love when he lets Johnny Cash know that he's aware that he was stopping the project when he hasn't mentioned it at all prior.
And now _that's_ a word in the English language: "Memeable" LOL! (i'm a nerd - completely unapologetic about it - but etymology is a hobby of mine. i can never look up *_A_* word in the dictionary or *_one_* topic in an encyclopedia. and i love learning where the words come from, how they evolved. English has had some ..."interesting" additions from tech slang in the last 20 years.)
It actually may have even rubbed off on some of his co-workers. I went to Space Camp in middle school. There was ONE boy from Texas with a VERY heavy accent, and by the end of the week, about half of us picked up his drawl. There are probably a bunch of people at the precinct who started sounding like him over the years and never noticed.
"Well I hope...the brilliance of my work is not interfering with your investigation, Lieutenant." - Bobby Culp's stinging delivery in these lines is impeccable. 03:30.
it's really nice acting-wise how culp changes his tone in the last 3 minutes, and goes from patronizing to coy, in a manner that clearly shows some possibly newfound respect for columbo's abilities. great stuff for a scene that starts out fairly plain.
When he reads the note on the autopsy you can hear in his voice the exact moment when he realizes Columbo is a lot smarter than he's been giving him credit for.

@@roomofidiots The last few seasons/specials were a disappointment. I'm sure the writers weren't the same. The Columbo character changed a bit (probably because of his age) and the stories were not as well written, as interesting or as much fun with the exception of Ashes to Ashes. Other than those final seasons, anything with Patrick McGoohan, Robert Culp, Jack Cassidy or Gene Barry were terrific. Of the first 10 seasons only two or three episodes disappointed me. I've watched my many favourites perhaps a dozen times each.
@@johnbrowne3950 I totally agree with you, but I actually really enjoed the last episode of columbo ever filmed: Columbo likes the nightlife. If you can get pass the year 2003 look, it's actually a great episode with a classic really smart ending.

@@TheRealDrJoey Negative Reaction....Yes, I agree. That episode ranks as one of my favorites as well! Dick Van Dyke was excellent as villain. An Exercise in Fatality was also in that season. Robert Conrad was excellent as well!
My favorite of all the Columbo episodes of the 70's. The ending was brilliantly written. Had never heard of a calibration converter before this. This episode was written by Steven J. Cannell, co-creator of the Rockford Files, creator of Baretta, The A Team etc.
@@tomcloss9764 The fake laughing of Patrick's character was excellent too. I get the feeling some viewers never understood that scene or the joke involved. Do you?
Such a great cat n mouse scene. Culp does narcissistic arrogance like no one else. Even though Columbo is telling him I know you did it, he's still tickled that Columbo calls him a genius
@@G0Chiefs I really liked L&O CI. So different from any other L&O procedural. But today the "mentally-damaged genius detective fighting his personal demons" is getting to be a boring trope.
"I think that the criminal in this case is much too intelligent to leave that kind of evidence around. . ." When the crime is accomplished through particularly ingenious means, making the crime especially difficult to solve, Columbo likes to compliment his opponent. This is one of the many ways that he ultimately disarms his opponent, convincing the opponent that he/she is far too intelligent to be caught.
yes excellent from both of them, subtlety in dialogue, brilliant- love this kind of movie as it draws you in, no special effects, foul language (which spoils a good story) - that's why we keep coming back to these wonderful episodes.
This is one of the best written and acted TV scenes in TV history….The brilliance is in what is actually being communicated and separately what’s being talked about … both parts brilliantly happening at the same time. The ultimate cat and mouse game. Columbo knows who he is and the Dr. knows it but thinks he’s smarter
Robert Culp has been a powerful presence in the 3 episodes of the original 70's episodes that as far as I can remember he played the murderer, this episode "The Most Crucial Game", and the one where he owned a private detective agency and played alongside Ray Milland as the killer of his younger wife. He also appeared in a bit part in an episode of the later Columbo episodes about the two college students who murder their professor.
He was also a murderer in the episode where he was an expert in subliminal cuts in movies. He used subliminal cuts in a movie to lure a guy out of a theater to kill him. He is one of my favorite villians. Very good actor. Always convincing.
This is my favorite Columbo episode, with Chuck McCann as the projectionist who tries to blackmail Culp. McCann, who apparently was type-cast, also played the title role in "The Projectionist," where Rodney Dangerfield played the manager of a theater.
I agree Robert culp was a brilliant villain.... But Jack cassidy my favourite... And for one off appearances Johnny cash and Leonard nimoy were good to..
Patrick McGoohan appeared as the villain more than any other actor had on Columbo (FOUR times)! He was also very good. I agree Robert Culp and Jack Cassidy were good in their villain roles.
Trust me, I've known people who have liked their meat burnt. Waited a number of tables where they wanted their ribeye well done. I just smile while thinking, "WTF!"
Robert Culp was my favorite guest star...they way his character and Columbo went back-and-forth over the years in so many episodes. Love him better than even Patrick McGoohan.
@Hammerschlägen M Culp: I marvel at your imagination but as far as I know in this country the court requires some kind of EVIDENCE, don't they? Columbo: That's right. And I don't have any. Culp: I don't see any. Do you?
If I ever do a "perfect" murder and then find that the investigating officer is acting like Columbo, I'm grabbing whatever cash I can lay hands on and leaving the country before he can prove anything.
Or, keep your mouth shut. These villains always speak too much and offering to help Columbo too much. Keep quiet and if Columbo asks for "help" don't give it and tell him if he needs any assistance to contact your lawyer. Ask yourself, why would a police officer ask you for help?
Another "Culp Gulp" classic got your shot glasses handy? Fill em up and everytime you hear the Word lieutenant take a shot and let's see if you can make it to the end.......
The way Columbo approaches this whole situation is sharp. Knowing that he is dealing with a highly intelligent criminal. And puts him in a situation where he knows he has to give Columbo some of answers he wants

Subliminal suggestion was a hot topic in the 1970s. But you don’t hear about it much now, because there was never unambiguous evidence that it actually works.
@ 7:07 - Haha, I was watching the video with captions on and the volume low, but when it got to the point where Robert Culp said, "That's very astute, lieutenant" the closed caption instead showed, "That's very STUPID, lieutenant" so when Columbo said, "Thank you very much" I was so confused, hahaha! 😆
I kept thinking I'd seen this character before and finally realized he's Wallace Breen! Replace "lieutenant" with "Dr. Freeman" and he's almost the same guy.
I saw this one not so long ago and couldn't help feeling they cut from it the backstory of how the villain acquired some of the adornments in his office.
I think Robert culp was in columbo at least four times , three times playing the killer and once playing the father of the killer.loved watching him and also jack Cassidy ..
Love how when watching this just now, the guy explaining how the "subliminal" ad more would break the flow of the movie if it were more visible was interrupted by a real TH-cam ad that broke the flow of the video!
Columbo is hunting the killer slowly by slowly until he will find a strong evidence to arrest him . It is funny the way that Columbo act like a naive person while he is hitting him .
Did you notice? While addressing the issue of subliminal injections, Robert Culp very briefly "breaks the fourth wall" (glances at the camera / audience), a strict 'no-no-' in filming, between time stamps 4:31 & 4:32 ... LOL
Robert Culp was one of the great serial actors, his iconic role in Eye Spy with Bill Cosby in the 60s was classic TV. He unfortunately helped launch Cosby's career, not that he could have known what a mistake that would turn out to be.
@Streetwise Aslam - i loved watching culp squirm as the evidence built up more and more against him. he was in a few different episodes; all playing an arrogant prick.
That's the worst looking burger I have ever seen.
Probably grass fed beef
Almost swears me off having hamburgers ever again.
You’ve clearly never seen an Arby’s commercial.

Columbo should have really been investigating the person who perpetrated that culinary atrocity in the shape of that charred coal like lump of meaty matter ( 0:33 ) which I'm sure once consumed would be responsible for another fatality.
LOL! Well, you have to realize that in those days, hamburgers weren't full of poisons designed to give us cancer or cause heart disease. In those days most beef was actually healthy, and that was certainly not a photo of anything MacDonalds was serving.

It is rather timeless though. Only sad that such great actors have passed on.
I personally like many of the episodes of Keach in the ('New') Mike Hammer series but it is a totally different style, of course
No gratuitous T&A, no violence, no fist fights - just intelligent people trying to solve a puzzle while the culprit tries to not get caught.
💯
When they 'take the mickey out of you', does that mean that they annoy you?

Classic & classy! Robert Culp makes a really fine villain! He interacts with Peter Falk so well.
He makes it clear to Columbo that he knows he knows but he's not worried because Columbo doesn't have the evidence to make his case.
I believe he was in 3 different episodes. A fine villain but never good enough to fool Columbo.
08:39 "Oh of course, I should've realized, you've already done that" *pause and stare* "I have". That split second is so intense.

8:39 See how full he fills the glass. Not too much! He then takes a few sips and walks away. Notice there’s now MORE in it than before.
And why Robert Culp was probably his greatest guest star/ villain. The 3 episodes from the 70's Culp was in were all top notch.

The greatest of the many brilliant '70's Columbo episodes. Every scene is a gem.
Whenever Culp walks on scene.. you know it's going to be quite a ride!
Indeed :)
Robert is a fine actor.
4:07 Him reading that card, and Columbo staring up at him with that face, is memeable as hell.

I love that Columbo never lost his thick NY accent even though he was a detective in L.A.!!!
NY accent is easy to learn for the non-english speakers
I am from NYC. There are people all over the US with NYC accents.
Perhaps he could have gone to NYC to help Kojak in his investigations!
His first partner was actually in San Francisco before he moved to LA, an Inspector Harry Callahan.
It actually may have even rubbed off on some of his co-workers. I went to Space Camp in middle school. There was ONE boy from Texas with a VERY heavy accent, and by the end of the week, about half of us picked up his drawl.

How he slugs that drink down and immediately pours another after it, nice subtly acted apprehension at how close Columbo is getting.

George Hamilton was very good in his villain appearance in the 1970's.

Whats funny is as soon as Columbo came back to speak to him, he already knew he was the murderer.
I think Robert culp was in columbo at least four times , three times playing the killer and once playing the father of the killer.loved watching him and also jack Cassidy ..
Really good detective work
Rosebud started with a wordgame.
I watched all the seasons and episodes but I don’t remember this one! Glad I saw it here
Lots of BRILLIANT STARS on COLUMBO!
Terrific cat and mouse psychology employed by Columbo. Always catches the murderer off guard.
This is a very interesting scene, the doctor is treating him like a child but look who's who by the end
Love how when watching this just now, the guy explaining how the "subliminal" ad more would break the flow of the movie if it were more visible was interrupted by a real TH-cam ad that broke the flow of the video!
WKRP in Cincinnati. Surreptitously taking nude pictures of Jennifer.
Columbo is hunting the killer slowly by slowly until he will find a strong evidence to arrest him . It is funny the way that Columbo act like a naive person while he is hitting him .
Colombo talks about his wife each episode but no wedding band. Interesting. I've tried caviar too. It IS salty.
The only trouble with watching these little clips. You end up wanting to watch the full show .
Did you notice? While addressing the issue of subliminal injections, Robert Culp very briefly "breaks the fourth wall" (glances at the camera / audience), a strict 'no-no-' in filming, between time stamps 4:31 & 4:32 ... LOL
Robert Culp was one of the great serial actors, his iconic role in Eye Spy with Bill Cosby in the 60s was classic TV. He unfortunately helped launch Cosby's career, not that he could have known what a mistake that would turn out to be.
Classy. Smart guy. No sick violence and blood and gore and foul language.
One of the best set ups for getting the murderer to indict himself..
Best of the best columbo!!!!
My favourite. Especially on the golf course!
Did anybody else think the buzzer at the end was just Colombo making a disagreeing noise? 😆
The actor playing the editor was very busy. Always very good.
that is a large tie.
elliot bryant huge!
70's fashion.
That's the lawyer on Fletch
Best serie ever seen
Columbo caught dozens of criminals and never carried a gun
His mental instincts were more than any weapon imaginable. The beauty/intrigue of the series. Very well done.❤😊
Hilarious, that brief picture of the burger looks terrible! 🤣
I prefer the Culp episode at the football stadium with a younger Dean Stockwell
Remember, it's DOCTOR Kepple.
@Streetwise Aslam - i loved watching culp squirm as the evidence built up more and more against him. he was in a few different episodes; all playing an arrogant prick.
What is dr. Kepple exactly saying in 7:10 " So you ordered an autopsy. That's very .... Lieutenant" Subtitles say , but is it correct?
He says That's very astute.
@@chervenovino Thank you!
That's practically a confession!
