[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 282610, member: 23"] I'd agree with that. It's an episode I'd look forward to watching again despite its flaws. It's great that I can still feel genuinely excited by scenes in [I]Columbo[/I] even as the original run draws to a close. Absolutely. She was one of the more sympathetic killers for those reasons and I felt a little conflicted as I watched. That's been one of the nicest surprises of this season for me. That would make sense. Although we don't know for sure what was added, I'd guess that all the filler made this into a poorer episode than it would have been if it were a "regular" 75 minute show. Oh dear. I'll consider myself warned. I feel the same way. Definitely. It's especially eyebrow raising when you consider how multicultural Los Angeles is (and was), but that's TV of the era for you, The only other black character who played a prominent-ish role that springs to mind for me is Lawrence Melville in [I]Identity Crisis[/I]. Oh interesting. I had no idea, but then I'm not familar with [I]Tenafly[/I] (or almost any of the other Mystery Movie wheel series). That does put James's presence here into a new light. I really liked him here, so I'd certainly be up for watching some [I]Tenafly[/I] if the chance comes along. I dare say I might be persuaded to bump it up my own table a bit once it's had time to settle for me. [/QUOTE]
