Christoph
I absolutely loved this episode. I hope we get more Columbo beyond this two-week filler arc.
Jason Wineinger
I cannot wait to hear the reactions to Shatner's episode
Drew
Nimoy reminded me a lot of his Invasion of the Body Snatchers performance, which is great. I really like him as a menacing villain. Also similarly styling in that movie.
John Ferris
His first name is rumoured to be Frank, he shows his license in an episode and it says Frank on it but it's never spoken out loud,nobody ever addresses him as Frank
James Eldred
These watchcast eps aren't even top 10 Columbo episodes, AND THEY'RE STILL AMAZING. I highly encourage watching the original run.

I had never seen this show. This episode was pretty good, so I may end up watching more than just the Watchcast eps
