what the fuck was wrong with the reboot? violence and sex scenes in a columbo show? and the lieutenant showing up 30 mins in the episode just to act like a senile caricature of charlie chaplin until he magically deus ex machinas the case? and the times he does things that are completely uncharacteristic to him, like working for the fucking mafia? what the hell was falk thinking?
They're the intellectuals Columbo episodes don'tcha know.
