[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 280684, member: 23"] Well that would certainly explain a lot. It's funny, but while looking for images from the episode I did think that Peter Falk looked a bit... medicated in a number of them. That's interesting that you can pinpoint this episode as the turning point. I'll keep this in mind as I watch on and see if I notice any difference. Yes, it certainly does. It would have been more understandable were this a "fish out of water" story where he's in a different environment or country. Instead, the setting and premise had all hallmarks of a good [I]Columbo[/I] episode, but the storytelling and characterisations were way off kilter. Absolutely. I like that - up to this point at least - it hasn't been overused. It's just an occasional little bonus. I'd say the same would hold true for me. A bit like that episode of [I]Cagney & Lacey[/I] where they dressed up as vegetables and went on the game show, which was a little dire for that show, but still better than most other output from that era.
