I got interested after I saw Jotaro mention it in JoJo’s Bizzare Adventure Part 3.

This show is a timeless gem. I really liked first 3 or so episodes, but the “car exhaust” monologue at the end of maybe the fourth episode made me fall in love with Columbo.

Please watch it if you haven’t yet. If it’s your type of show, you’re missing out big time.

And one other thing: I’m only on episode 5 so please spare me some spoilers in the comments 😅

    I don’t think that’s episode 1.

    There were two episodes before it; one of them was named “Ransom for a dead man”

      It was the first episode of season 1 production. Prescription Murder was a stage play adopted for TV and was meant to be a one off but was really popular and then Ransom for a Dead Man was a pilot episode which was popular so then they went into full production. They’re sorta season 0

      I think the Spielberg episode was the first episode of season 1, and the very first episode was a TV movie and the second episode was the pilot but not actually part of season 1. It’s something confusing like that
