Columbo S4E3 “By Dawn's Early Light” (1974)
No ferns spotted! However, this episode is remarkable in many other ways. For one, it stars Patrick McGoohan, well-known for his role as Number Six in The Prisoner, as a no-nonsense commandant of a military academy. He won an Emmy for his performance in this episode and went on to act in and direct several episodes of Columbo.
Secondly, it was shot on location at Citadel Military College of South Carolina ("The Citadel"), well-known for being sued by Shannon Faulkner, a high school student who applied to the at-the-time all-male college by hiding her gender on her application. She sued for the right to be admitted, and won, but wound up quickly leaving because of the abuse she faced on and off campus.
Lastly, this episode features a vanishingly rare sight of Lt. Columbo sans raincoat and, indeed, sans shirt. You're welcome.

columbo button
columbo button
#liz blogs#columbo#my dad found a diy snap together button thingy he got as a sample when he was doing a show at the local convention center#back in the 1980s (teehee now *i* do shows in that convention center) and he let me have it#40 year old button. i gotta put something old in it. i can put anything i want in this. its a locket but its a button#i want more of these i need to be able to make buttons of my obscure blorbos and ocs without investing in a button maker#or ordering them from somewhere. i wanna be able to do it on the spot. i need a knight rider one#it was Almost knight rider but then i remembered the episode where he got a button of Himself. so. he has earned this one#i have a bunch of stickers im really tempted to decorate this like people do with those kp*p cards people make. it would be funny#anyway. columbo button

Its astonishing to me that some people didn't think Benoit Blanc was intended to be a gay man.
I mean, they call him the World's Greatest Detective right in the beginning of the film, title almost exclusively held by gay men. Its gay as hell to be the world's greatest detective.
#glass onion#knives out#the most definitive proof that columbo is straight is that he never called himself the worlds greatest detective#sherlock holmes#hercule poirot#batman

Columbo is my comfort show right now and I literally only came back to Tumblr after a man year hiatus, just to see Columbo content. And now I believe it's my turn to return content back to the masses. (The watermarks are for my Instagram meme page btw sorry)
#columbo#tmi but one of my friends was murdered by her husband a few days ago#he stabbed himself to act like he was attacked but it was obvious he did it#and i just find comfort in these fictional murders being solved by a goofy man with an overall happy tone#because its not happy right now#whoop i trauma dumped on main#columbo meme#columbo memes#im in love with the sloppy sleuth

SOLVING CRIME?? followed IMMEDIATELY by columbo throwing himself out of a moving vehicle to get a picture of the palace guards
#columbo#columboposting#two minutes of footage of peter falk throwing himself against what seems to be a real crowd of people#oh fuck me that really got me. man

Columbo meeting Conan Edogawa. There is a jazz ost playing-
Columbo: hmm now isn't that interesten. On the day Shinichi went missen you just hayppened to appear. Kinda a coincidence if you ask me.
Conan: Oh gee minster lieutenant Columbo, that sure is funny. Whoops! -Conan purposefully knocks over vase containing a clue- That's weird! Who put that there??
Columbo: -takes a puff of his cigar-
(ignore my poor Bostonian accent approximation, I was trying to be immersive)
#i should draw them.. sometime. maybe in october#my conan and scooby doo picture still occasionally gets likes#i think he lends himself well to crossovers#my posts that I made#case closed#columbo#tagging because -shrug- curious if others see the crossover#detective conan

they were probably right to not make wilson a recurring sidekick for columbo but i wish there was more of him. their onscreen dynamic is so funny every time
#columbo being patronizing >>>>#when he says he paid for his camera equipment himself to help out columbo and columbo's just like 'you must be a bachelor 😑' OMG BE NICE!!!

After a wait of 40:42, we've spotted the ultimate combo: Columbo and a Boston fern!
Bonus plant: this lush and tall dieffenbachia.
Bonus bonus: Columbo contemplating erotic art.

#columbo#season 7#try and catch me#the rare and delicious completely unfiltered columbo line#yes he carries himself with all the menace of a honey eyed teddy bear. yes he will have your entire ass behind bars before you can blink#columbo's whole deal is manipulating criminals but from what we see he is a genuinely kind person. his kindness isn't part of the facade#he may like and admire and respect you but. Don't Count On It

A continuation of that wall of text idea I left in the tags of some poor shmuck's Columbo post.
Post-finale, Dean finds himself going out on cases and running into hunters and people who'd been helped by Cas along the way. It turns out some of them know Dean indirectly, a la Ca's references and anecdotes. (They even know his music.)
"Oh? Oh. You're Dean? You're Dean!"
#mrs columbo#dean + bittersweet#dean + grief#dean/cas + grief#spn + columbo#cas seems so well liked in season 15 when he goes to the bait and tackle shop#i'm thinking once he started being himself and got acclimated he really made an impression on ppl

Feel like pure shit for Joan from the pilot tho
#Columbo#like imagine being an aspiring actress with pretty intense anxiety#and your shrink instead of treating you wraps you around his finge#then ropes you into being an accessory to killing his wife cuz he can't countenance having to choose between you and his wife's money#and then the detective assigned to the case sees right through him and you attempts to bully you into confessing#(and since he has adhd himself he knows how to leverage anxiety) and assigns guys to stalk you until you spill the beans on your psych#and then when you call him (the psych) for an emergency because they're Getting To You#he blows you off with that classic 60's misogyny/rich asshole arrogance. “oh a mental health patient'll keep till morning when they make 1/2#an emergency call“ 2/2

Finally got to catch an episode of Columbo on TV and. I get it now. This guy fuckin' rules.
#random thoughts with kei the average#also the show itself has great writing:#the fact that it's a murder mystery where you know who did it from the jump but you're STILL at the edge of your seat to see it resolved...#just goes to show that you don't need to keep your audience in the dark abt the who the villain is or even how they performed their crime#in order to be an entertaining story#also columbo himself is so charming I want him to be my uncle
