As a 27-year-old who’s never watched Columbo, do you recommend watching it? What should I expect?
>>220075707Watch it. Expect some of the finest detective fiction in television history.
>shabby looking low-status man outsmarts the rich man"Yeah, get him Columbo! That'll teach them not to underestimate us."
Shits on quincy
>>220075707>What should I expect?wall to wall kino
It's a show about a slimy Jew who is constantly nosing around. pestering and entrapping white people. It's the ultimate DEIslop of the 70s. Very popular among browns and illegals.
>>220075814He's not low status you fucking banana head. He presents himself as low status to lure the suspects into a false sense of security provided by his bumbling appearance and mannerisms.
No it's a waste of time unless you really have nothing better to do in which case it's entertaining and surprisingly well made
There's no binding storyline, so browse through the episode descriptions or look at the directors and guest stars, and then puck something that sounds compelling.S2E6 has Leonard Neemoy as a killer surgeon for instance, if you're a Star Trek fan or Johnny Cash is the killer in another episode.
>>220075960What do you recommend watching then?
>>220075707things that would never be admitted in court. it's a comfy show and very entertaining but, like Matlock, would never happen irl.
>>220075814>>220075928>It's an evil kike conspiracy Or?When Tyrone kills Lonquisha he runs through the section 8 housing unit hooting and hollering "AY YO I KILT DAT BOTCH I KILT DAT BITCH AYY AYY I KNOW DAT BABY WUN'T MINE SHEEEEIT!" and he continues to violently gesticulate until put down by the authorities. In these situations, there's very little mystery involved so it's a bad plot for a detective show?
>>220075707i love it. probably one of my fav shows (im 38)but there is a bunch of bs>lemme just taste this water by the pool for no reason
>>220076414Columbo acted like a point-and-click videogame character.
>>220075707Credit to NBC for coming up with their "NBC Mystery Movie" It took shows which were longer and took more time to produce, and broadcast them weekly on a rotation.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VI9mUyG_f0It wound up being a good testing/training ground not only for the shows, but also for younger directors/writers/producers trying to get their start. Several of the elements from the NBC Mystery Movie went on to have their own full time shows, including:> Columbo> McCloud> McMillan & Wife> Banacek> Quincy, M.E.
>>220076251NTA but you can't go wrong with Hornblower, Sharpe, and Cadfael.
>>22007661770s were great for tv movies. esp horror>Kolchack the nigh stalker>home for the holidays>anything by dan curtis>that creepy one with the little plant creatures living in the basement furnace.
>>220076767In my opinion, one of the greatest-ever made-for-TV movies was "Bad Ronald" (1974). For a 4 minute spot-on description of the film, here's Adam Carolla:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2g8D6m8Vi0they also did a lot of books-to-TV back in the 70's. I remember that John Jakes (historical fiction around the founding fathers) and Taylor Caldwell (historical fiction around capitalism) had multiple books turned into TV movies.In particular, Taylor Caldwell's "Captains and the Kings" would probably be popular in /pol/,
>>220076898was just about to mention bad ronald but thought it was too obscure. >burnt offerings>trilogy of terror
>>220075855Oh, c'mon. I agree but Quincy is still solid.
>>220077261> it wasn't a heart attack, it was muuuuurrrrrrrrdddddrrrrrrrr
