I have a question about Lieutenant Columbo ...

[Crakes]

... who I'm a big fan of. Just watching an episode and I'm nearly sure he said that his wife and kids were away. But but but - I thought he didn't have kids?!

This is clearly a very important question (and I clearly know how to have exciting Sundays) so please - any opinions?!

I wonder if Shera watches old episodes and, if so, whether they're a comfort to her or whether they make her sad.

I lost dh five years ago and, as yet, I find even looking at pictures of him sad (but I still do it!).

Oh are you me?

yes to all those weird crushes!

I've always fancied quirky men.
That explains a lot about dh 😂

@steppemum weirdly I've ended up with a very normal man in the Midlands with a very normal job and hobbies but I have managed to raise a dancing one, a bar tender and a police officer so somethings gone right. I've raised perfect partners for the next generation 😂

He makes a wonderful cheese omelette

Absolutely loved Columbo.

Thanks for the reminder about Highway To Heaven - I've just found it on YouTube and am gonna binge watch it soon.

Yes, love Columbo (but only the 70s ones).

Lol I had to look to see if its just me.. everytime I go to do a columbo marathon I just wanna marry him 😅😅.. I can't help it love his character so much

Op after a rubbish day this thread is really cheering me up. Thankyou 💐

Oh I've found my people! Columbo has always been my weird crush. So polite, clever and humble!

I loved Columbo but always felt I wanted to put his mac through the washing machine 😀

But on the plus side you can see the start, have a nap in the middle, wake up and you’ve not missed anything!

I love the old ones for the fashion and interiors alone, really relaxing watch

Peanut butter and raisin sandwiches?

To think I used to respect that man!

There's often something comedic about Columbo's food - in one episode he's really hungry but keeps getting interrupted every time he manages to get something to eat.

In another (imo) hilarious bit he gets told off by a very bossy waitress (a young Jamie Lee Curtis) for bringing a doughnut in to eat in a café but then proceeds to order an identical doughnut from her to eat in. It is much funnier than my description!

My favourites are A Stitch in Time with Leonard Nimoy as a murderous surgeon and the one where Columbo is trying to prove an architect has murdered someone and dumped him in the foundations of a massive building. Brilliant twist in that one!

I was just about to say it and ZombieKettle beat me. Captain Janeway was Mrs C.
