Discuss Columbo

Just watched this episode and couldn't believe the fashion inflicted on Ian Buchanan playing Sean Brantley! Those jackets !! The shoulder pads were about four feet wide and made him look deformed!! Poor guy!. I also get fed up of him solving crimes with "new" technology - they might have known how rapidly new becomes obsolete and therefore ridiculous to later viewers.

Update - just watching another episode - "Murder under Glass" 1978. It's strange - watching these at the time I found them entertaining - but watching them now - it becomes more and more apparent that Peter Falk was not that good an actor and an even worse director. I can't stand to watch him now - in one scene in this ep there is Geisha girl whom he smiles at about three times - he can't leave it alone - even as he is exiting the apartment he has to turn around and smile at her again. He just can't resist it - he doesn't seem to get that what was humorous once is not humorous once repeated. Judge Judy suffers from this syndrome as well - if she says something the audience laughs at she will immediately repeat it. I don't know what Louis Jourdan was doing in this - he acts Falk off the screen.
