[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 280661, member: 33"] I've seen most of of the episodes of the original run of Columbo multiple times but I can only recall watching[I] Last Salute To The Commodore[/I] once so my memory of it isn't anywhere near as good as it is for the others. If I was given a choice to watch an episode of Columbo again, I wouldn't chose this one but if had to choose an episode to completely wipe from existence, I wouldn't choose this one either because there are some real stinkers in the reboot series. My main problem with [I]Last Salute To The Commodore [/I]is that it isn't Columbo, it like another show altogether, it has a completely different format and a completely different vibe. Had it been an episode of [I]McMillan and Wife[/I], I might have appreciated it more but ultimately I would have forgotten it. The fact that it is Columbo makes it more watchable and inevitably, someday I will watch it again. I completely agree. This was just plain wrong. I know it was the 1970s but I imagine viewers would have found some scenes uncomfortable even back then. That was this episode, was it?
