3️⃣ Highlight: the scene with George’s parents is probably the best, but all the Kramer moments are great, too. Helped enormously by the presence of #MollyHagan (#HermansHead) as Sister Roberta.

📺 My 494th #TVReview of 2023. Averaging 2h13m of TV per day.

#Columbo 63 (1994) - 10/10
One of the very best!

1️⃣ #WilliamShatner is superb as a smug, arrogant killer. Over the two hours we really grow to dislike him for the slimy way he does his job, and the way he treats his daughter (wonderfully played by #MollyHagan, from #HermansHead).

2️⃣ Shatner has great chemistry with #PeterFalk, and all of their scenes are a delight. Many are very funny. Director #DennisDugan really gets the most from his two leads.

2️⃣ And it’s actually a very good a-story. Clever, interesting, funny. It gives #JaneSibbett (#SantaBarbara, #HermansHead) more to do than usual, and she’s great as Laurie tries desperately to save the day for her idiot boss.

3️⃣ Question: Did Teddy and Laurie go on their date, between episodes? Direct reference is made to Esther Luna, so we know this story directly follows the previous one. In both production order and airdate order. But no mention is made of the date?
