@ROMARY. That was Helen Shaver in that episode which frankly I've never much liked.

Remember one with Vera Miles and a super duper cosmetic cream? She kills a very young Martin Sheen for it.

There are too many great episodes for me to name a favorite. But there are some which are memorable.

The sex therapist (what took her so long to kill that creep lol?), the one in which Jack Cassidy (who appeared in a couole of episodes) kills his book partner, Ruth Gordon locking her dead niece's widower in her walk-in safe, murderous surgeon Leonard Nimoy......

Prescription Murder, often mistakenly referred to as the pilot, when it was a stand-alone movie of the week, was excellent, and features a very different Lt. Columbo: aggressive and slick--not the one who adopts a bumbling persona to ingratiate himself with those he investigates.

There's always so much going on with Columbo's interaction with other characters, and the unfolding investigation, that I can re-watch the episodes without tiring of them.

Love the Ruth Gordon and Evil Dr Nimoy ones.
Cassidy's book partner was Martin Milner.
Speaking of Cassidy I liked him in the ex Nazi magician one.

A little off topic but does anyone ever see reruns of Dennis Weaver's McCloud, which rotated with Colombo and McMillen & Wife?

@Pearlee  - Yes - Paul Burke was in the dentist episode as the wife's father.

@tansy - McCloud was airing on COZI up until this past December, along with McMillan and Wife.  I enjoyed watching those reruns also,

Thanks, @twinsister.
