clash of the titans: columbo vs quincy

[bimble]

so where the hell can i find Quincy to watch? Don't think i have ever seen one.
Am tragically finished with all of Columbo, which i love beyond reason.
Thought maybe this would be the best thing ti follow up but cant find it anywhere at all?

I recently read an online reference to a Columbo novel where he solved the JFK assassination

Not reading the thread title properly, I was going to vote for this:

How is that even possible? You're in for a treat of righteous indignation.

It was showing in the afternoon on one of those dubious Freeview channels but no idea if it still is

 

[bimble]

I'm rescued, found another season of Columbo to see me through.
Nothing would be remotely as good as that anyhow.

The Columbo on now is unsettlingly young and well shaven and smartly dressed

This may be 1977 season - he looks that young. It's 'Prescription Murder' on My5 at the moment.

If you don't count the two previous pilot episodes, or the one before that with a different actor in the role of Columbo

 

[Sue]

Ooooh, Columbo NERD-OFF!!!

 

[bimble]

Columbo wasn't actually a detective show was it, it was a sort of revolutionary fairytale, retold hundreds of times, where the rich and powerful are taken down by the little crumpled beige man who they distain and underestimate. They're not even whodunnits they are just a different thing.

 

[two sheds]

and where you knew whodunnit from the start

eta: worth pointing out because I'm sure not many of you will have noticed that

 

[two sheds]

he's very harsh in this episode

 

[Sue]

he's very harsh in this episode

I'm sure the baddies deserve it.

 

[two sheds]

she was only defending her boyfriend who'd murdered his wife ffs

she's dead now - see killed herself, I only hope Columbo learns from this

eta she wasn't dead at all he was just getting a confession from him
