You have the most charming way of going down the most random rabbit holes.
These are always a joy, thanks for making them.

My family has simply adored your commentaries! You are precious and so enjoyable to listen to. I love how your mind works and your sense of humor. I have to share this...we taught our daughter well...she grew up watching Columbo on DVD and he was just her absolute favorite. About 20 years ago when she was 10 we were visiting Southern California and drove by Peter Falk's house. Mrs. Falk was outside on the side porch with all the dogs. My daughter was so brave and hopeful - she got out of the car and walked up to the iron gate at the driveway (the side porch was just behind the gate) and through the gate she asked Mrs. Falk if she could possibly meet Mr. Falk. And she told her that she was his biggest fan. And Mrs. Falk said, "And his youngest!" And she went right in the house and told him. AND HE CAME OUT TO MEET ALL OF US! He came right out on the front porch and he even brought pen and paper in order to give her an autograph. He welcomed us all up there with him and was happy to take photos with us. He was so handsome and so well dressed, even on a casual day at home - lovely purple linen shirt and khaki pants and that beautiful silver hair. He could not have been more kind. Gave my daughter a sweet kiss on the cheek. Made us love him all the more! Looking forward to your next episode!

You asked about the sweaters the women were wearing with the “A” on them. I grew up in the 1960’s - 1970’s. It was a very popular brand name when I was in High School. The name is: Etienne Aigner. I knew them for beautiful leather purses and shoes. They cost around $75 a pair of shoes, if I remember correctly, in the late 1960’s. I looked up sweaters because I had never seen one and they made them similar to the TV show with the “A” symbol like the shoes and purses. Elizabeth Osborn

We LOVE your reviews of the shows. Thank you for all the great work!!!

Not only do I love your reviews, I am stunned at how you locate each extra or supporting character. I can't imagine how hard that is! Love that you give credit to our OGs of the past, and list the cars, the locations... simply an amazing feat. Keep up the great work!

I can’t believe this is a channel!!!! I have watched every single episode of Columbo at least a dozen times and now you have provided me with this amazing information and a fresh new perspective!!!! Your narration is priceless and so very much appreciated!!!! Thank you a million times over 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤

[barrymoore]

Fantastic work. My wife and I got popcorn and treated this like a movie premiere. Your energy and enthusiasm for doing this really shows through. Thank you again. The only bad thing is we have to wait a month for the next episode.

Anne Baxter was a powerhouse of an actress! This is episode is one of my favorites. Her outfit at the beginning and even her pants suit she wore seems like something Diana Prince should wear or should have worn in wonder woman (original series)😄. That dress is just amazing to me! Also it has Edith Head in this episode! Columbo had some amazing people starring in it. GREAT WORK in breaking these episodes down in such incredible detail.

You have no idea how much I enjoy these. I don’t really watch these as much as I listen. I pick one every night as I go to sleep and listen. Your voice is so relaxing. The work you put into these shows. I sleep so sound. They help my rambling mind to quieten down for the night. Thank you ❤

[IgnatzKolisch]

The sheer amount of research you put into these continues to astound. This is one of my favourite episodes - though I have to admit I'm not sure precisely why I like it so much. But you keep showing that I'm truly horrible when it comes to being observant; you point out item after item that is right in our faces, but I never even notice! Thank you for yet another terrific video!!

[mostawesomecomment]

I found your channel about 3 weeks ago after a life time with zero Colombo.
This is the 1st time I've got to experience the happiness of a new release from your channel (:

[wayneoneill]

I've been rewatching original Columbo episodes from the beginning and only saw this one last week. All the added details really enhance the viewing experience of the episode and review. Excellent work from you as usual.

[spews]

Just giving this one "like" really isn't enough to express how much I enjoyed this video.

[amandajstar]

Nora / Anne Baxter has the most delightful fashion of ANY Columbo actress. I just love EVERYTHING she wears!

[ChipWhitingtonIII]

My prayers have been answered... and I'm not even religious.

[AnonymoussuomynonA]

I love your channel. I just signed up for your Patron. I tried again and again to eloquently write about how watching and rewatching your videos before bed makes my life better, but I couldn't write my way out of a paper bag. So I'll just say thank you. Thank you.

[rayross]

Thanks bigly! This is going make for a great weekend. You have a keen eye to point out what most miss in these Columbo episodes. Oh! and just one more thing, please keep up the great work?😀

[SassyPetal]

So happy to see you giving us another stellar review in our favorite detective!!!❤ I’ve never thought about Nora wanting to kill both Jean and Jerry Parks at the same time…this episode has always stumped me; did she want Jean dead for being so naive to trust a gossip columnist who has it out for her or to kill the obvious reason for her troubles? But had she killed both in one swoop- perfect…well, perfect for Nora and her reputation…not that I’m waving pom-poms cheering on her criminal actsI!😂 By the way, I always thought the reason why Jean didn’t jump out of the car when it burst into flames was because she got knocked out or fainted due to the slight explosion first… She did seem kinda mousy🤔 Love your channel, love your hard work and love you more!!!!❤🥰❤️BRAVO!!!!🎉 PS If you ever watched the Golden Girls, you would know that word “lanai” 😉

[justjb]
