Many of them quite a few times. My favorite was the one with Ruth Gordon. I love looking at the cars and the decor in the homes. ❤️

It was one of, if not, the first of his directing credits.

one of the first episodes. Martin Milner got to play the victim and Jack Cassidy got to be the killer.

But now he's a clown. Always with the stinky cigar smoking where it's not allowed or wanted and is personally crushed when he can't smoke. Always hounding people he immediately suspects is the killer, going against police protocol, bringing up his never seen wife in conversations (as if he'd be a catch, I doubt he's even married).

The acting is A1 in this episode. Columbo introduced a new media persona, ,,,and Falk absolutely nailed this character.
