As we draw to a close, and before you depart... hope lives on...
This may not be the last #ColumboTV...
Step forward new host! (at least for now!)

Oh! Time for the funny fabric lady!
I love the character actors in Columbo!

It's just occurred to me for the first time. I think the crash inspector man is the same actor as in Fun with Dick and Jane!
Gonna have to check now...

I do love a bit of jaw harp!

To be fair the jarring cuts between actual concert footage and the crystal clear TV show footage works have been less obvious on a 14" TV set in the 70s!

It's time!
GOOOOooo!

A sculpture from the past final week of class at ESCC. This was the product of two weeks - 12hrs in total. I still need to work more on eyes and mouths but I'm making progress!

Thank you for hosting!

I am new to the show and loving it, so I hope someone who knows and loves "Columbo" well enough to put the watch party polls together will volunteer to take over in your stead!

Thank for joining in everyone! That was fun!
Four weeks time - put it in your calendar! - Swan Song - our last scheduled #ColumboTV watch party for the time being.
Hope to see you there! 🙂

Oooh! Coming soon: Columbo and his magic appearing photocopies!
I love how proud he is of his trick of pulling copies from his pockets!

I can reveal that last month's #ColumboTV poll actually had a split vote - two episodes with equal votes... we're watching one now, and I figured it made sense to watch the other in four weeks, for our final Columbo watch party for the time being... appropriate enough for our 'Swan Song'...

This is a VERY good episode; so much going for it. So good that the appearance of Sgt Wilson, which would usually be a standout feature, is something I'd totally forgotten - among all the other brilliance. And the new coat!

I seem to recollect we're coming up to the cringiest bit of the episode - the ACCENTS! 😱

This magic dealer is so convincing that I actually thought they might've roped in a genuine dealer to play the part. That's not the case - but it's an exceptionally accurate depiction!

That middle-aged balding waiter, in the course of saying Santi might need a brandy to calm his nerves just called him the 'old boy'.
THE OLD BOY!? 49! FFS!
Not that I'm sensitive about that age or anything!

His opening tricks! It's all so UNBELIEVABLY camp and cheesy!
I LOVE IT! ❤️

I love seeing the combination of hand-doubles, 'self-workers' and prop-based stuff used to give the impression of a 'master illusionist' in shows like this. The flawless card productions followed by a horrible false card castle and some DREADFUL 'pseudo sleight of hand'!

That's a mortice lock. No way in hell did Santini pick that using the paperclip-esque wire we saw him with!
