I love the episode where the social worker thought Lt. Columbo was a bum. When he showed ID she said his undercover costume was perfect for skid row.

Movie schedule and featured an array of dazzling murderous guest stars like Janet Leigh, Leonard Nimoy, and John Cassavetes.

I always amazed how easily Mr. Goody Good Guy, Dick Van Dyke, slipped into playing a villain.

I remember in the Communist-era in Poland, they would deliberately show Kojak on Sundays to discourage church attendance.

“Is there anything he cant do?”

Breathing is currently an issue for Peter Falk. But the doctors say his condition is stable.

That was a time when TV was worth watching and entertaining.

Those days are gone.

I have season 2 on DVD and that has the John Cassavetes episode (which also features Myrna Loy) as well as the Leonard Nimoy one (A Stitch in Crime) and Anne Baxter’s Requiem for a Falling Star and also (one of my favourites) Dagger of the Mind.
