William Shatner was born to play this part.

[Croydondms]

This was one of the very best episodes, with both main characters involved in some brilliant dialogue.

[rayhume]

One of the greatest castings of all time.

Shatner may outlive all the "Columbo Villains" from the original run, there's not many left.

[bridgetown]

The later original seasons were beginning to dip into that 70s wave of neo-noir and nostalgia for old-time gangster films… but especially this episode

[LodenVor]

Walter Koenig being in this episode as well was choice casting.

I wish you would play 'Strange Bedfellows'? The Last Six Minutes, especially at the end after the case is solved, Rod Stieger & Columbo are outside exchanging the funniest words, about Columbo saying 'I'm a cream-soda sort of guy& your Not'! LoL those lines were funny. Even made Rod Stieger, laugh. 😂

Can't watch as I need to watch episode first. Forgot how it ended.

This was one of my favourite episodes because of William Shatner in it. He was also in a cop show called T.J. Hooker which I also watched mainly because of him. The plot about him not forgetting to clean the gun but forgetting to clean the bullets was admittedly a bit thin. It kind of reminded me of the reverse of the Daniel Baldwin court case where a prop gun had real bullets in it unknown to the actor, Baldwin, who pulled the trigger thinking it was just a prop gun with blank bullets in it.

[FreyaTait]

Would there be latent fingerprints on a bullet?

Columbo episodes on notorious for introducing new technology to the public.

Obviously the new technology in this episode is the VCR player. Still, at the time, extremely expensive at $3, 000.

Amazing the mistake he made with the shell casings was what caught him out. Shows that the murders do this only once whereas Columbo does this all day long.

[MadDasher]

William Shatner has played like 5 different roles in the Columbo series and movies. Same as Tyne Daley.

Captain Kirk and Spock came back to Earth and became murderers
