[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 282928, member: 23"] Oh yes, I can picture Jack Cassidy in the role. There are definite echoes of The Great Santini here. Oh yes, I forgot to comment on that. Funnily enough as I watched the opening titles I thought how the serif font sort of brought things full circle considering the American Typewriter font used in[I] Prescription: Murder.[/I] Same here. I think it's good that they gave this new run of episodes its own distinct image. Oh yes. I wonder how that worked since I understand the Magic Circle isn't supposed to reveal any secrets at all, so it does seem a bit naughty. I wonder if it went through proper channels for permissions or if the trick was just shown informally to someone who knew someone involved in making the episode. Agreed. That scene really changed the way I look at the entire episode and I think I might have ranked it higher if not for this moment (not that I've really ranked it at all). I was reminded of a similar scene in [I]Murder, She Wrote[/I], which I seem to remember ended up in the credits. But of course that was a much more frivolous kind of series than [I]Columbo[/I]. Ha ha. Well, good. One of us had to. Oh great. That gives me hope. Thanks again. I'm glad you like them and I'm really enjoying your input as someone who knows the series far better than I do. I had thought I'd end up saying less with the new episodes and perhaps grouping a few episodes together, but it seems I found plenty to say about the first "New" Columbo. I suspect I'll watch a bit more slowly now since there are no more 70 minute episodes. There'll probably be no more double-bills, and I imagine there'll be some evenings where I haven't got time to watch even one, so I think I'll have the space to say something about most episodes. And what I end up saying depends on what's presented to me. ;) [/QUOTE]
