Watching Columbo on TV

Tweet

I'm sitting here watching an old episode of the detective series, Columbo. That's the one where they show you who the murderer is up front, and the fun is watching Lt. Columbo figure it out. Usually the criminal displays a snide, superior attitude toward Columbo, which makes it even more fun as Columbo draws the net tighter and tigher. The one problem I have is that I've probably seen every episode at least three or four times. Some of them I'm tired of by now. Fortunately, the one that's on tonight is one I don't mind seeing again. It's called "Suitable for Framing" with Ross Martin as the murderer. In addition to the original murder, he's already killed his accomplice, just after telling her how much he cared for her. Now he's trying to frame his aunt for the murder. Martin makes a wonderfully evil criminal. It will be fun to see him get his. Photo credit: Margie Korshak Associates-publicity agency via Wikimedia (Public Domain)
