I absolutely love Columbo. I remember the episode with Nimoy being particularly good too.

Columbo was always such a chill show. Maybe I should get to it and watch the whole thing.
Right after the next TNG rewatch maybe...

I'm wrapping up another rewatch of TOS currently, then TNG next. May have to throw in some Columbo too. It's been a long time.

I'm currently not watching any show, but felt like another TNG or Babylon 5 rewatch might be in order. Some Columbo after that would be great.
Never watched the whole of Columbo, always just what I caught with my parents on TV. So it's about time I gave the whole thing a go.

I just finished watching the entire Columbo series for like the 10th time. I have it on DVD packed away somewhere, but this time around I watched it on archive.org, as all of the episodes are available here:

Have you watched Poker Face by any chance?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, I haven't even heard of it until this comment. Is it good?

It is very much an homage to Columbo starting Natasha Lyonne. Same, "famous guest star acts like a total asshole and kills someone" setup. Same, "we see the murder happen," start. But lots of new hooks to keep it fresh.

And Hong Chau plays a bisexual trucker named "Marge" in the second episode. So it's pretty much got everything.

Hmm, I would definitely give that a shot.
