He did the same thing in the earlier episodes , "Murder Under Glass" and "How To Dial A Murder". In "Murder Under Glass", he knew the chef would use the poison again to try to poison him so he switched the wine glasses, and in "How To Dial A Murder", he knew the psychologist would try to have his Dobermans kill him with the code word "Rosebud", so he had a dog trainer deprogramme them from killing when they heard the word. He knew that was the only way he could get the final conclusive evidence against them.
@@johnfinnegan8474 Don't forget in the episode Lady In Waiting, he risked his life going to her house in the dead of night knowing she could have shot him, and claimed she thought it was a burglar sneaking around her house at night. looking for a way to break in.
@@John-kq3pq Yes, which is why I said "Columbo," and not "Peter Falk." You do know the difference between a character and the actor who portrays him, right?
I love Columbo when he said "I think not so Ma'm, this is not my kitchenfloor and this is not my house, it's from my sargent"! And than the reaction of the woman. 😅 Columbo is the best, when he's coming, all alibis go to break!!!
Lucky for you! Can I ask, do they show the episodes in the original or do they voice-over your native Danish instead of English? My German wife and I enjoy watching Columbo speak German 😂😂
Let's not forget about the one where William Shatner almost pulls a gun on him from the car trunk before Columbo sounds the horn for the surprise backup around the corner. All amazing episodes!
Columbo is written for the viewers, and the viewers see him trying to kill Columbo so it does make sense. It is never going to be tried in a court like an episode of Perry Mason.
I always thought that with one on one time with the suspect, he carries a tape recorder in his jacket just like the word play part in the Rosebud episode of Columbo.
I think Columbo already knew how the guillotine illusion worked well before he ever met that magician in the 2nd clip. There was episode in the original 70's series where he is investigating magician Jack Cassidy and he goes into a magic shop where the owner demonstrates a small scale guillotine operating where Columbo put his finger into the hole without getting it chopped off.
I only see two examples here and those are from the Columbo reboots which were not as good as the originals. Offhand I remember two times the murderers tried to kill Columbo in the original and best episodes. The one where the French chef tries to switch wine glasses with him so he would drink the poisoned wine, and the one where the woman pulls a gun on him when he unexpectedly shows up at her house at night.
@@jaredhamilton425 What I meant was the "reboots" were the episodes which began in 1989 until 2003. The originals began with two pilot telemovies in 1968 and 1971, and the regular original TV episodes ran between 1971 and 1978. So there was a break of 11 years between them.
@ those weren’t reboots. They were revivals. Reboots would imply Columbo went through a reimagining, a major overhaul to everything, none of that happened, it was all the same stuff, only difference being how long it took to return.
@@jaredhamilton425 That's fair enough. The reason I made the distinction between them is most Columbo viewers consider the episodes made between 1971 and 1978 to be superior for the most part than the later ones. Peter Falk had visibly aged by then and by the last episode he made in 2003 he was an old man in his mid 70's.
There's also the episode where the killer used dogs and a command to get them attack. Columbo got the dobermans programmed to be friendly towards Columbo.
I thought in that episode that scene was staged by both the mob boss and Columbo who had teamed up together to force the killer confess. He had sought protection from Columbo but was told by Columbo he could only protect him from the mob if he confessed. That's why the episode was called "Strange Bedfellows". Columbo and the mob boss working together to catch a killer of a mob bookie.
Ah, you know, you both make some really great points here, and I gotta say, your knowledge of the show is pretty impressive. You’ve got all the right ideas, all the right angles. Now, as for a part 2… well, that’s always a possibility, right?
I would hardly just showing two clips of when suspects tried to kill Columbo a "compilation" There were at least six episodes where the murderers tried to kill Columbo because he was getting too close to arresting them.
It was called "How To Dial A Murder", "Dial M For Murder" was an Alfred Hitchcok movie with Ray Milland and Grace Kelly made in the 1950's. That title could have been the inspiration for the name of that Columbo episode though.
What about the attack dogs? What about the woman who pointed a gun at him but was "too classy?" What about the poisoned wine? Respectfully, this collection could have used more effort
This idiot go no satisfaction from this encounter so out comes coloring book and crayons he states he was once a copper couldn’t make the grade got to the level of idiot fell short of fool .
21:48 Columbo literally bet his life that the magician would try to kill him. So wild.
next level stuff, ruthless God is a woman❤ so was Colombo

They are playing one Columbo each day here in Denmark right now! My favorite thing to watch just saw the one were Columbo is on a cruise ship ❤️

@@donarthiazi2443in Denmark they use the original sound track with text in Danish below
I wish I can watch all his series, but can't find. Kindly send to me please. Veronica
I bought the whole series 10 years ago and l'm still watching them and l'm even watching this one😂
That's awesome! Is it still Peter faulks voice or dubbed over?
That episode is my favourite. And Helen Shavers acting was sublime!
Let's not forget about the one where William Shatner almost pulls a gun on him from the car trunk before Columbo sounds the horn for the surprise backup around the corner. All amazing episodes!
The first one makes sense because he has a witness and a recording of a confession, but the guillotine one? He has none of those.

Attempted murder of a cop is a crime as well@@martinfinn1550
Just watched this episode last night. Great episode.
This show is so good but tell me 1 thing how did you do it
14:57 Columbo wasn't a magician. He was a puppeteer
this proves its possible to be short, doofy and cross eyed AF and still be the main character
This has always been my favourite TV program ❤

I’m confused about this “reboot” you’re talking about, considering this is all from the original Columbo show.

Don't forget the dogs triggered by Rosebud

Rosebud. 😊
You forgot to mention "Strange Bedfellows", where the Mob Boss threatens to kill Columbo for not solving the crime by himself.

I’m so lucky! In the United States, I watched free on UA-cam! All of the great Columbo movies 🎥🙏
1:52: Terminator 3 moment! T-X robot licking her tongue with John Connor's blood!
I never knew Columbo had a gun.
I would hardly just showing two clips of when suspects tried to kill Columbo a "compilation" There were at least six episodes where the murderers tried to kill Columbo because he was getting too close to arresting them.
After watching this episode I actually became a marmalade fan
Podian poner ciertos programas en español,por ejemplo colombo,para mi la mejor serie de la television ,gracias y saludos desde o ribeiro
Columbo with a gun is horrifying
I found Columbo seasons 1-7 on Amazon Prime, but I can't find the other seasons. Can anyone tell me where to find them?
Wasn't the kid playing the magician, a young Walowitz from the Big Bang Theory?!
Where is "Murder Under Glass" and "Dial M For Murder?"
It was called "How To Dial A Murder", "Dial M For Murder" was an Alfred Hitchcok movie with Ray Milland and Grace Kelly made in the 1950's. That title could have been the inspiration for the name of that Columbo episode though.
Name of the first episode?
Rest In Peace, Mrs. Columbo
Helen shaver was absolutely stunning
I loved this series. We still watch all the re-runs of Columbo. 😀 By the way, I don't like Marmalade.
... lemon marmalade?
Lime is the best!
Yes it’s delicious as is the lime, and I also love the original orange. A very favourite here in the UK.
What about the attack dogs?
What about the woman who pointed a gun at him but was "too classy?"
What about the poisoned wine?
Respectfully, this collection could have used more effort
❤❤❤❤❤
10:05 I take that very personally! Brilliant acting all round
The woman who tried to kill him with the marmalade is in fact Peter Falks real life wife
No one was there to witness the end. Wierd.
Columbo's real life wife guest starred on several Columbo episodes , one was A trace of murder.
This idiot go no satisfaction from this encounter so out comes coloring book and crayons he states he was once a copper couldn’t make the grade got to the level of idiot fell short of fool .
Badly edited clip. It misses important elements of this conversation. Thumbs down to this.
The point of the clip is to encourage you to watch the full episode, otherwise they might as well just upload the full episode and call it a day.
