Thanks. I was waiting for a place to tee-off.
My favorite episode ends with the perp asking when Columbo first suspected him, and is told "about five seconds after I met you".
"Ridiculous!" the perp says, "how can this be true?"
Columbo tells him "when I called you from the scene, and told you the man you had supper with had died of food-poisoning, and asked you to come right over.....you know what you did? You came right over. You didn't ask what kind of poison, you didn't go to a doctor or hospital, you didn't ask any questions at all. You came right over. That's the damndest act of civic responsibility I ever saw!"
I loved that show.
I got the original “Presciption Murder” on TiVo and DVD.
Change the setting, characters names and professions, not necessarily actors. The same guy can be a murdering doctor in one episode and a lawyer in another. Who was it, Patrick McGoonan, he musta killed half a dozen people, as a CIA agent, campaign manager, military school commandant...
