Columbo Favorite Episodes.

[Smokey]

I remember when there were only three networks on TV, and Colombo was always one of highlight of night it was on. Only have the first season of Columbo on DVD, so shows from other seasons are from memory.

Season 1: Short Fuse. Roddy McDowall who have extremely high IQ kill his uncle. At the end where Columbo set up a trap, Roddy who wear a necklace given to him by Hi IQ Society, take it off and hang it around Colombo's neck as a sign submission.


Season 2: Double Shock. Martin Landau plays feuding twin brothers who kill their uncle by electric shock to gain access to his inheritance. Columbo keep turning off the power at fuse box to test his theory, as the twin’s mother watching of soap opera on TV is interrupted by power outage she keep screeming at Columbo.


Season 3: Swan Song. Johnny Cash is Country and Western singer who kill his wife. Cash also sing the famous “Sunday Morning Coming Down” in this episode.


Season 7: Try and Catch me. A writer of murder mysteries wreaks revenge on her nephew-in-law by locking him up in air tight vault and call it an accident. A very solid mystery with Ruth Gordon.
