He has that thing that Gene Wilder had - I cannot believe he is acting.

It makes more sense that occasionally, Columbo pretends to be Peter Falk, for like galas and shit.

#Columbo 65 (1995) - 7/10

1️⃣ #GeorgeWendt and #RodSteiger are the guests. Wendt is bland, which hampers the episode. Steiger is great as a vengeful mobster. It's a pity he wasn't the murderer, as his scenes with #PeterFalk are terrific.

2️⃣ It's mostly a straightforward story, with plenty of clues for Columbo to find and annoy his victim/suspect with.

i'm never disappointed by 'etude in black' even though i've lost count of how many times i've seen it. it's got everything: the iconic duo of peter falk & john cassavetes, with a myrna loy cherry on top; the introduction of dog (rescued from certain death at the municipal pound by columbo) & fucking hilarious dialogue - including a ticking off by a young girl about the lieutenant leaving dog in a car with all the windows wound up.

#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.

@amyfou. This association! Let's all always listen to the late, great #PeterFalk.

#Columbo 62 (1993) - 9/10

1️⃣ #FayeDunaway (deservedly) won an Emmy for this episode. She and #PeterFalk are sensational together. And he also wrote the script!

2️⃣ It’s an unusual one. Because it’s a love story. You might say it’s out-of-character for Columbo to develop actual romantic feelings for his prime suspect. On the other hand, it’s perfectly in-character for him to do what it takes to solve a case. Even if that means letting a letting a bit of temptation into his life. Or… pretending to.

"the problem was Romania had run out of episodes of Columbo"

That time Peter Falk stopped a revolt in Romania? Kattullus (https://mastodon.social/@kattullus) posts about the great Decoder Ring podcasts examining this mystery.

Oh, and there's just one more thing... in the comments DirtyOldTown (https://mastodon.social/@dirtyoldtown@mefi.social) talks about Irina Nistor and the "delightful documentary called Chuck Norris vs. Communism"
