A favorite in my decades of STS – NSF research of course – he just “ knows people so very well “ and does not need any high sci / tech to catch the criminals – they know it and just go quietly to jail !
His wine episode was fantastic, perceptive & so accurate ! Well researched.

Then all his movies now on DVD’s – what a range of characters he could play – yea, “ old timers too and also about the end of life – we all face – no one gets out alive as the saying goes  ! “
One of best is the famous Brinks robbery.
DVD’s usually have extras about how the movie was made and much background info.
“ Storytime “ –
So he flies into a remote area in South America to do a film and hoards of children come running to him yelling “: Columbo ! “ Then he notices all  the TV antennae on their huts ! Picture of him signing autographs.
His comment – “Even God could not make a face recognized by 2 billion people ! “
But his was !
He confirms that his famous and well worn “ raincoat “ is in his bedroom closet and not the Smithsonian of the “ urban legend !
But who wears a raincoat in California ? It can rain so little there compared to LMT.. But he made it work !
Enjoy !
