[QUOTE="Alexis, post: 277057, member: 68"] I am really enjoying reading through this thread. It's making want to go back an watch all of Columbo again now! I loved the Anne Baxter episode as well as Lee Grant's, Robert Culp was always great, I also really loved Suitable For Framing. As much as I love Columbo for it's story and clever writing I also adore it for the sets and the look of the show. Especially that 1970s Hollywood look. Suitable For Framing is a really nice to look at episode for me in that regard. But just reading through the episodes here is putting a smile on my face when I think of all the great guest stars that clocked in at Universal for Columbo. It really is such a luxurious and pleasurable show to watch. You just feel absolutely spoiled. I am sure it was discussed back on the old forum, and I have just forgotten but does anyone know why there was such variation in episode length.
