Having a Bad day ? James Bond no-impolite-ness intended nor is an "attitude "
IF you are referring to the big font … When is being used as opposed to IF … it's an in-joke between the FRIENDS who have been in this thread for FIVE pages as would be known IF the entire thread had been read. Have a nicer day, Ya expect me to read through five whole pages just to see if one question's been answered? 1Go fuck yourself. 2 Blocked. 31. Yes. pretty much OR read my reply that it has NOT been solved and when it is, the thread will be marked thusly. 2. Physical impossibility and no interest in so doing even if it were possible. 3. Your loss.

If they were still making Columbo episodes he could investigate who has put something into the worldwide water supply.

Just sayin’… You’d have to go through eleven pages to see that the Sleuth singer mystery still, remarkably, hasn’t been answered. EDIT 7/24/18: Apropos of your language (which I have just edited), I like the way Hammett referred to your word-choice: “the boy spoke two words, the first a short guttural verb, the second ‘you.’” Even hardboiled ex-PIs had standards for prose, at least then. Sigh.

yes but am as much in a quandry as y'all are about just which episode it is, Nalkarj . Mea culpa, m’friend, I didn’t know you remembered it too. Anything specific? I’d love to know if it’s another show—or some explanation, at least…

1. Bump. 2. I inadvertently found an interesting real-life case with a similar fact pattern (which initially confused me because of the reference to “Washington”— Doghouse6 , your Washington/Washington, D.C., annoyance is vindicated). I know I’d never heard of it before, though.

That other one was solved so quickly I thought that YOU had found the answer right after posting the question !
If only they all worked that way but with all the answers what would the inquiring mind have to inquire about ?

If only they all worked that way but with all the answers what would the inquiring mind have to inquire about ? Nalkarj is so much more well versed in the whodunit form, both literary and cinematic, than I am, despite my being a voracious consumer of them, from British TV dramas to neglected little B programmers of the '30s - '40s. By the time of the big reveal, I've usually lost the thread through an inability to keep the players and events straight, and am often as not even more baffled by the explanation that the preceding proceedings (howzat for a phrase?): "Mona had the goods on Carter, but didn't know he was on to Dorothy's scheme to blackmail Freshette over Cynthia's letters to Gianelli. So when McIntire figured out what Lady Espeth was up to, he knew she had to be gotten out of the way before Billings could find her will, not realizing that Barbara and Carruthers had witnessed a new one leaving everything to Malcolm. As soon as Lombard made his slip about seeing Tony and Wilma together, I knew that the killer was...yes, you, Mr. Deveraux!" In other words, there's more fun in the investigation than in the solution, right?

Speaking of Columbo … how are we to find the solution of the Great Columbo Airplane Mystery if they keep showing the same late in the series episodes over and over again ?

Somebody's gonna have to bite the bullet and buy a box set of all the Columbo episodes...and then watch 'em. And no, piker that I am, that's not an offer (we're working our way through the entire Midsomer Murders inventory at the present time).

BUY ? Doghouse6 Just had a bunch'o' Midsomers home from the Lye-Berry recently … good stuff that ! Am sort of taking a break from our good left-tenant .. those "one more things" get a tad repeat-a-tive when the shows themselves are repeats of repeats... even for a major fan ! If I can remember how they dun it … it's been on too recently !

I have just had my 10 seasons of Columbos returned after lending them to a sick relative several months ago - now have to go through them to solve this? Any idea if the query relates to an early 70s season or a later 80s/90s season? I am missing several Columbo movies from the late 80s which don't seem to be readily available in Australia - in some boxsets they are packaged as "season 8". This consists of 4 episodes.

BUY ? Doghouse6 Just had a bunch'o' Midsomers home from the Lye-Berry recently … good stuff that ! We're into season 15, two years after good ol' Tom Barnaby retired and his cousin John (also a Barnaby, played by Neil Dudgeon) from Brighton has taken over. He might look familiar: he was a suspect on an early Midsomer and has also shown up on Morse, Frost and is generally a well-known face on British TV.

If I recall, Columbo began as one of three or four investigative series as rotating "spokes" on NBC's early-'70s "Mystery Wheel." MacMillan and Wife may have been another, but that's the best I can do on recall alone. About those Brit series, I understand that some actors have more than one going at once, what with the short seasons (which they call "series;" confusing). But I was recently reading up on Midsomer, and was surprised to learn they're in production 10 months of the year. 'Course, like Columbo, theirs are "long forms" running 90 minutes or more. It's still a comparatively leisurely schedule. When I was in the business in the '80s, 8 days was standard for a 1-hour show (actual running time between 45 - 50 minutes).

From the IMDb Trivia vault comes this , Doghouse6McCloud was the third part of that taking turns set of series along with Rock and Susan. NBC wanted to make Columbo a weekly stand alone series but "The original plan was that a new Columbo episode would air every week, but as a motion picture star, Peter Falk refused to commit to such an arduous schedule, which would have meant shooting an episode every five days. The network arranged for the Columbo segments to air once a month on Wednesday nights. " (switched to Sundays after the first season)
