I have only just discovered this series and I am completely addicted already! What a fantastic spin-off and I don't care that it's old at all. Maybe that's because, I am old :-)
Two future Star Trek actors here in this episode. Kate Mulgrew went on to play Captain Katherine Janeway, and Rene Auberjonois went on to play Odo, the changeling. I love finding coincidences like that.
19:52 -- I love how, when she was in the waiting room, she noticed how the owners all look like their pets (or vice versa). And now, with the vet, she points out the her dog "has got no zest, no sparkle--absolutely no enjoyment of life." And the camera shows us that, while SHE and her dog don't look alike, the VET and the dog do. So her comment about "no zest, no enjoyment of life" is really a comment on the vet's appearance.
@@Drummerchick2003 "Bill" Shatner pulled off perhaps his best acting performances as the culprit in both _Fade in to Murder_ and _Butterflies in the Shade of Gray_ (Columbo telefilms two decades apart).
@@bonghunezhou5051 I agree, he did actually portray two personalities, he even did well in both twilight zone episodes. Bonus if you can name both episodes without using any sources 🤣
I have never even heard of this, let alone seen it. I do like Kate though, there is something adorable about her and she reminds me of Katherine Hepburn. Thank you for sharing this gem with us all.
@@seosamhofionnaghain6274 And Mary Ryan on 'Ryan's Hope'. Other than playing Captain Janeway on a version of Star Trek, I don't think I've seen her on anything else.
My Mom had a gold station wagon like that shown in the film! Bought it in 1972 and still runs! She gave it to my brother who gave it to his friend! Brings back memories:) Enjoyed watching this as when this aired was busy busy going to college and working and never had a chance to watch much TV.
Thankyou... i cant believe i reached the age of nearly 53, without knowing Captain Janeway is Mrs Columbo. Honestly, it's made my day. She is a total dude.
If Kate Mulgrew had portrayed the detective's daughter who inherited her father's savviness instead of his rather young wife this show would have had a firmer foundation and probably would have been more successful. I had learned that Peter Falk's actual wife was 22 years younger and appeared on his show more than once.
I've been searching for this!!! I could not find anybody that even REMEMBERED THIS short-lived series, people argued that it didn't exist even !!! Thank u soooo much for uploading!!! As I've watched every single Columbo episode at least 4 times, but. I've only seen this one episode 1 time about 30 years ago- I feel so lucky! Thanks again for your time and effort💚😍
Same here, Shaelyn! I wonder if it's because people didn't like that they ended up divorced. Columbo was so loved, couldn't understand how someone could agree, even amicably, to a divorce. No chance of him showing up in an episode ever. 😒
Yes Kate Mulgrew was excellent as Mrs Columbo. Top class actress, Not surprising Kate Mulgrew went on to become a Star Trek Captain in later acting roles.
I think its called "artistic licence" when a writer knows the story beat is nonsense, however its done for speed, convience, or in this case to keep the story going and add a little drama... Least i hope whoever wrote that scene knew it was BS.
It’s not just her age (12 years old when Falk first appeared as Columbo) that makes the connection to Columbo not work. They’re a Mis-match in every possible way. Columbo is this aggressively working-class, rumpled, studiedly unsexy, middle-aged working-stiff policeman. Everything he ever said about his wife painted a picture of a frumpy, unsophisticated, middle-aged woman. She painted on paint-by-numbers canvases as a hobby. She was explicitly described as overweight. So they cast a glamorous 23 year old with an overtly patrician accent, and portray her as this urbane sophisticate. Crazy.
Maybe Columbo was fooling everyone because he didn't want anybody knowing his wife is young and hot badass lady. Kinda would ruin his whole unsexy simple old dude shtik :)
Yup. Columbo/Peter Falk was born either 1927 or '28. He served briefly in WWII (Merchant Marine). He would've been 51 of 52 in '79. Well, maybe Mrs. Columbo has "daddy" issues.
Wow, never ever heard of this, love Kate!! I'm presuming it's little known as it didn't run for long, another guess is that people didn't like it's premise, No Columbo, a great shame, a decade later it probably would have flown. Many thanks for a great upload x.
I really don't think Kate Mulgrew was that young as Mrs. Columbo. She had around a half dozen years on Ryan's Hope, for one thing. She was no teenager as Jack Fenelli's wife, and she had to have done something before that, to get the role. You could tell 'Mary' and 'Maeve Ryan' were pals in real life and Kate was eating up the training from that great actress. But she had to have brought something to the table as a younger actress, and she was just soaking up what she learned from the others around them as well.
"Jenny Columbo" who knew? Haydn began her career as a child actress at the age of seven. She initially appeared in commercials and moved on to television and film roles. From 1979 to 1980, she played Jenny Columbo, daughter of Lt. Columbo and his ex-wife, Kate Columbo/Callahan (Kate Mulgrew) in the Columbo spin-off series Mrs. Columbo. Wiki:Lili Haydn (born 1969)is an American rock violinist, vocalist, recording artist, and composer. As a child, she pursued a career as an actress; at age eight she discovered the violin and began to focus on classical music. By the time Haydn was 15, she had played with the Los Angeles Philharmonic.By the time she signed with Atlantic in 1997, she had embraced a variety of genres, having played with Quwaali musician Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Porno for Pyros, Tracy Chapman, The Jayhawks, Brandy, Tony! Toni! Tone!, No Doubt, Tom Petty and more. In addition, she has played with, sung with, and opened for Sting, Josh Groban, Herbie Hancock, Robert Plant & Jimmy Page, Matchbox 20, Seal, and George Clinton, who calls her "the Jimi Hendrix of the violin". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lili_Haydn
Appreciate that bio 👍 I also liked her as the younger daughter of Rodney Dangerfield’s character in Easy Money ! To me , it’s his best movie- doesn’t get much respect!
@@Usernamesdontmatter1 The spin-off did have bad ratings and both Peter Falk and the producers hated it; Falk did not appear on any of the 13 episodes.
The Kate crusade a big big thank you for posting this classic tv series on your channel I'm a huge fan of Columbo and I didn't know that a side series was created I'm looking forward to seeing more of this show and many more interesting episodes.
Ya we did ALL of this feminine hijacking bit 40 years ago. And it also happened 40 years before that, too. We forget mistakes so we repeat them. Every new generation thinks they have the answer & the old guys are just too tired to even talk about it.
I love that. Turns out Janeway had visited DS9, got her brain wiped by aliens, and is now in Quarks holodeck convinced shes investigating a murder!! (side note Picard recommended the program). Odo is there to make sure shes safe
@@Carly8Corday If Wikipedia has it right, he was born in New York City, while his father was Swiss-born. His paternal grandpa had the exact same first and last name. He did grow up in France for a time after the end of World War II, before moving back to the US. It was during his brief stay in Paris that the acting bug had bit him. He also lived in London, England, where he attended what is now the Carnegie Mellon University, graduating there in 1962.
There is one stereotype of a woman that occurs here. She waits until it is late & then baits the murderer, knowing she & the child are unprotected. She then demands to be helped by the sergeant when he is off duty. She keeps calling for the sergeant when she could simply call the police. She is the wife of a police lieutenant & should get immediate help. She keeps putting herself into situations where she needs help because she does not think through the consequences of her actions. The men around her continue to disappoint her.
Thank you so much for this playlist! Tubi only has three episodes - missing the first two! I hope out of fairness, Lt Columbo does not make an appearance - so glad Dog does though!
I hadn't heard of this series before, but its wonderful! More suspense than Colombo! Really great ....she had that ole clunker, the dog and he was the one who was absentee!! 😂😂
I remember watching this show as a 12 year old when it first aired. It wasn't bad but even then nobody could buy this woman as Columbo's wife. It would've worked much better as a totally separate show with no Columbo connections. That actually hurt it. Kate was wayyy too young for the part although she does look older than the 24 she was then. She actually looks almost exactly the same as she did 15 years later on Voyager.
@@seosamhofionnaghain6274 Peter Falk was a multi-millionaire movie star celebrity. Lt Columbo, on the other hand, was a rumpled, middle-aged policeman. When he spoke for years about his unseen wife, nobody imagined he was talking about a glamorous, sophisticated, patrician child-bride. Mulgrew was nearly thirty years younger than him. More to the point, she was 12 years old when Falk started playing Columbo and talking about his wife.
There can be multiple actresses playing Mrs Columbo. Kate Mulgrew fitted the bill in Mrs Columbo 1979. Remember James Bond in 1962 is Sean Connery James Bond of 2019 is Daniel Craig. Its called floating timelines. Hardy Boys in Book 1 are 18 and 17 years old, But in Book 50 THEY ARE STILL 18 AND 17 YEARS OLD. Its called floating timelines. When fiction comes into play real life goes out the window the writers can write what they like in the play.
@@seosamhofionnaghain6274 Mulgrew was still too young in 1979, not to mention miscast in a number of other ways, to play the wife Columbo was talking about in 1968, even taking into account your proposed “floating timeline”. Even the makers of the show itself eventually acknowledged this, when they retconned the show later in the season so that “Kate Calahan”’s now-ex-husband was in fact an entirely different police officer called Phil (as opposed to Frank) Columbo.
In a work of fiction the writer's are not hampered by real life timelines whether on TV movies or Books. If James Bond was 30 in 1962 Dr.No movie Then in the last Bond Movie the Character of Bond should be 90 by now but actor Daniel Craig is only 53 in the 2021 No Time to Die Current Bond movie. Bond is in a floating time line like Mrs Columbo. Writers of TV , Books and Movie scripts regularly indulge in this floating timelines. Other examples are The 3 Investigators Jupe Pete and Bob solving 43 Mysteries while remaining 14 years old all thru the books 1 to 43. Floating timelines mean they do not age significantly.
Ok, this was pretty darn good. Except for some of the domestic housewife stuff that just seemed to lengthen it, this was scary and suspenseful in parts.
I don’t remember this show at all but was very surprised to see Kate Mulgrew as lead…on her first ..voyager…and Rene Auberjonis…from Deep Space 9…of course,,Robert Culp who had his own Spy show amongst other tv series he’d done…Edie Adams…popular in that day….
Kate, what an apsolutly delightful woman. No wonder she became captain of Voyager. Thought she came out of nowhere. To think columbo said some woman was pretending to be his wife was heartbreaking. This role you shined in like no other actress has ever come close to Kate.
@@seosamhofionnaghain6274 Never watched Orange is the new black but saw commercials. Wept bitterly to see one of Hollywood's greatest leading ladies put in the gutter. It was like watching the hulk in avengers and not see Lou Farigno. I feel like they were betrayed.. Wish I could find and download all of Mrs Columbo, find definitive proof that she was Mrs Columbo and clip them together. My eyes are pooling again as we I write this. She deserves so much more. If she asked. Id take her as my wife. No matter the age.
226,163 View's So Far: Saturday March 13 - 2021. Yep that IS Mrs. Columbo alright ! She is driving Columbo's car AND She even has Columbo's dog!! So Peter Falk has NOTHING to complain about !! After all Mrs Columbo's NEVER appeared on Peter Falk's show despite him constantly talking about her in his show .
Marsha Woods That was the interesting thing about Columbo is that their were no regulars on the show No supporting actors no wife, friends or fellow police officers He only mentioned them
He comes off as pretty selfish, among other very unpleasant features and traits. He sometimes made it sound as if he and Mrs. Columbo were raising their nephew (hers once, then several times his), and that one ep. where the nephew got married and it was explained that his parents had died a good while back. You can't rely on the backstories we're given. In one, he was a good cook because Mrs. Columbo had many interests and cooking was not one of them. In another, he couldn't even break an egg without widespread destruction resulting.
I love the theme song! Did you record this from A&E in 1992? If so, I might have seen it that day, dozing and hearing the song and being astonished that it lasted for three minutes.
been a fan of hers since this show was on, Remo was better than most thought, she got better and better as Voyager went on, I have been to a couple of those Sci -Fi con's. sorry to sat I never had the chance to hear her talk
I have only just discovered this series and I am completely addicted already! What a fantastic spin-off and I don't care that it's old at all. Maybe that's because, I am old :-)
I’m old too and I love Columbo 💝💝
Kate was so beautiful here. Reminds me so much of my own mother-God rest her soul.😓
Your knew her mother?
Love Robert Culp!
There were some real cute touches in this: the opening with the kids at school, dogs with owners at the vets.
Sturdy black rotary dial phones. I remember those!
It was such a big deal when we got a yellow one😁
She’s ugly.
Remember when cordless appeared that was the stuff. Oh look I can walk around and talk, if only we knew what was to come.

AND Odo.

Hardy Boys in Book 1 are 18 and 17 years old, But in Book 50 THEY ARE STILL 18 AND 17 YEARS OLD.
Its called floating timelines.
When fiction comes into play real life goes out the window the writers can write what they like in the play.
@@seosamhofionnaghain6274 Mulgrew was still too young in 1979, not to mention miscast in a number of other ways, to play the wife Columbo was talking about in 1968, even taking into account your proposed “floating timeline”. Even the makers of the show itself eventually acknowledged this, when they retconned the show later in the season so that “Kate Calahan”’s now-ex-husband was in fact an entirely different police officer called Phil (as opposed to Frank) Columbo.
In a work of fiction the writer's are not hampered by real life timelines whether on TV movies or Books.
If James Bond was 30 in 1962 Dr.No movie Then in the last Bond Movie the Character of Bond should be 90 by now but actor Daniel Craig is only 53 in the 2021 No Time to Die Current Bond movie. Bond is in a floating time line like Mrs Columbo.
Writers of TV , Books and Movie scripts regularly indulge in this floating timelines.
Other examples are The 3 Investigators Jupe Pete and Bob solving 43 Mysteries while remaining 14 years old all thru the books 1 to 43.
Floating timelines mean they do not age significantly.
"Lieutenant" said the captain!
J'adore Kate! Merci beaucoup
OMG i never Knew Kate did this. awesome
Ok, this was pretty darn good. Except for some of the domestic housewife stuff that just seemed to lengthen it, this was scary and suspenseful in parts.
Ah well, a woman's work is never done. Maybe they wanted to show that she was a good mommy and housekeeper too, i.e. "normal.". 🤷♀️
I've found the pot-of-gold at the end of the rainbow ! ! !
Thx for the load !
So enjoyed this! Love these 80's tv series ❤😋
Subd, thank you for putting this up. love the show already. Funny how they thought voices moved through the electrical wires.
Thank you for this.
That was a fun watch tks for the upload!
I don’t remember this show at all but was very surprised to see Kate Mulgrew as lead…on her first ..voyager…and Rene Auberjonis…from Deep Space 9…of course,,Robert Culp who had his own Spy show amongst other tv series he’d done…Edie Adams…popular in that day….
This is amazing!
Actually, dear Odo, we say "Jacques à dit", but that's just a detail.
Just one more thing captain....
Kate, what an apsolutly delightful woman. No wonder she became captain of Voyager. Thought she came out of nowhere. To think columbo said some woman was pretending to be his wife was heartbreaking.
This role you shined in like no other actress has ever come close to Kate.
Excellent review!
I liked seeing Kate Mulgrew in the Mrs Columbo role !
Kate is a TOP QUALITY ACTRESS !!!

Never watched Orange is the new black but saw commercials. Wept bitterly to see one of Hollywood's greatest leading ladies put in the gutter.
It was like watching the hulk in avengers and not see Lou Farigno.
I feel like they were betrayed..
Wish I could find and download all of Mrs Columbo, find definitive proof that she was Mrs Columbo and clip them together.
My eyes are pooling again as we I write this. She deserves so much more. If she asked. Id take her as my wife. No matter the age.
10:41 he’s missing Peter Falk
And I love how they brought back some of the original killers from Columbo

Yep that IS Mrs. Columbo alright !
She is driving Columbo's car AND She even has Columbo's dog!!
So Peter Falk has NOTHING to complain about !!
After all Mrs Columbo's NEVER appeared on Peter Falk's show despite him constantly talking about her in his show .
Why didn't Lieutenant Columbo ever mention their daughter?
He did, she named the dog "dog" and her father had to explain that several times
@@alangay4180 I don't remember that. I'll have to rewatch some Columbos. :)
Kate Mulgrew is excellent as Mrs Columbo!
I among other people always thought they should have Peter Falk on here or she should have been on her his show
Marsha Woods That was the interesting thing about Columbo is that their were no regulars on the show
No supporting actors no wife, friends or fellow police officers
He only mentioned them
@@bendendenhansen3769 But, there was Dog ;)
marsha woods - YES! Agree! I loved both shows and hated to see this one not last. I always thought it was weird he never was around.
In Columbo, he said that they had no children. I've only seen the Mrs. C ones that came with the Columbo DVD's. Thank you so much for posting these.
Ur rite Linda Brown & I just can't watch Mrs.c
He comes off as pretty selfish, among other very unpleasant features and traits. He sometimes made it sound as if he and Mrs. Columbo were raising their nephew (hers once, then several times his), and that one ep. where the nephew got married and it was explained that his parents had died a good while back. You can't rely on the backstories we're given. In one, he was a good cook because Mrs. Columbo had many interests and cooking was not one of them. In another, he couldn't even break an egg without widespread destruction resulting.
If I were this homicide detective, and I had children, I think I would refrain from ever mentioning them while on a case, to anybody, period.
@@Carly8Corday it's just a tv show & mrs columbo never made it columbo was the best 🍻
There's an episode where he says " if we can get a babysitter," but he may be lying
Never heard of this..Thank you much 😊
I've never heard of this, what a good show!
Edie Adams and Robert Culp are great actors.
Captain Janeway before her Voyager days.
Sit on the edge of your seat scary. This shows that tv used to be really great . ☺
Offering to come over and fix someone's doorbell is right up there with offering to get the squeak out of their door.
Holy s*it, is Capt Janeway and Rene Auberjonois (aka constable Odo from DS9) in the 'same' room years prior? WOW mind blown!
She has NO alarms at all in her house ???
I have never seen this before I have to say I love it thank you for sharing it .
You're very welcome. Gotta share the Kate love where one can, right?
EDIE ADAMS In a thankless role is fantastic!! considering the shallowness of the character she plays it very well!!
Yes Kate Mulgrew is excellent as Mrs Columbo !!
Too bad Lt Columbo wasn't there to help her.... he is always gone. That being said, I am enjoying this series.
wow, that dog had some big balls.
greg hamlin oh how I wish UA-cam had a laugh button like Facebook that’s funny
Columbos dogs name was DOG
while the Lieutenant Columbo is in London Mrs Columbo picks up the pieces only to get herself into a pickle
Yeah ; and a great actress!
I love the theme song! Did you record this from A&E in 1992? If so, I might have seen it that day, dozing and hearing the song and being astonished that it lasted for three minutes.
been a fan of hers since this show was on, Remo was better than most thought, she got better and better as Voyager went on, I have been to a couple of those Sci -Fi con's. sorry to sat I never had the chance to hear her talk
This was so good!
I knew this series was in big trouble when they got rid of a character (Columbo) who was never seen and had nothing to do with the plots.
Remember her in Ryan's Hope
Should've had the scene here with Odo and Janeway in it as a holodeck program that Quark acquired.
🤣 RIP the actor who played quark
Enjoyed this!
I can not imagine Columbo with such a pretty young , clean wife. So I just pretend she’s her own lady to get through these .
Love this but never heard of the show ... did it ever air and if so then how many episodes were produced?
Yes, it aired in '79/'80. There are only 13 episodes.
That's Mr.Terrific (the sergant) from the Golden Girls, Rose's boyfriend.
