    Columbo has always been my favorite. It’s too bad when it started in the 50’s like this one it was less than 10 minutes long for the whole show. They leave out a lot of details. Later they were as long as half an hour which was a great improvement. The TV had just been invented in the 50’s so the TV sets were a lot smaller so they couldn’t handle longer shows

    • @TheWriterWalker

      Rick, this brief clip is from an episode that is a full-length program (I've seen it), and it does not occur in the 1950s but in the 1970s--or the latter 1960s. I think the first episode of Columbo is titled "Murder By the Book," and it was also full-length. What you are seeing on UA-cam are edited-down snippets designed to entice us to buy the Columbo DVD collection.

The guys who put them here aren’t selling anything and don’t own the rights so why post snippets? What do they get out of any sales so these are the whole shows not snippets.
      Columbus in the 50’s was never more than 10 minutes partly because of programming. There’s hardware and software. The 50’s TVs were mostly hardware and too small so they couldn’t hold longer shows inside them.
      Nowadays the software programming and larger memory with teamwork allows you to watch all sizes due to the chips and LEDs and Motorola involvement.
      The circuitry and transistors with programming makes the difference to make an overall racism free product.
      The primary transistor is the BJT and FET is the modern version of transistor.
      The types of BJT are NPN and PNP transistors.
      The FET is a unipolar device, which means that it is made using either p-type or n-type material as main substrate.
      The proof is in the pudding.
