OT (of course) James Dines in one of his books says "The market doesn't care what price you pay for the stock." Good advice for those placing a stop. Even more OT -- Sad to hear Peter Michael Falk AKA Columbo died. Apparently a movie script was waiting for him since 2008. Love the show and I rank "Now You See Him" and "Double Shock" as 1 and 2 respectively with a slew of 3rd place episodes. I watch episodes regularly at home. Though he only played three episodes as a guest murderer I truly loved Jack Cassidy. He also stared in "Murder by the Book" (Trivia - the wife of the murdered victim played Arthur Carlson's prior receptionist on WKRP - they met and she made him a Purple Cow barmeister.com attractive THEN and on WKRP). Though he never mentioned his first name on air, in one episode ("Dead Weight" starring Eddie Albert) [credit to IMDB] if you pause a part where he shows his badge, it clearly says "Frank". Patrick McGoohan was in four Columbos (the most) with Robert Culp, Jack Cassidy tied with three episodes. Trekkie links - Shatner (x2) & Nimoy play guest murderers as well and Walter Koenig (Chekov) played a cop. Columbo is not a murder mystery but rather an inverted murder mystery. Unlike others where you wait to the end to figure out "whodunit?", in Columbo, usually within 30m you know who did it (or at least within the first 2 minutes when you see the credits roll) - the fun is watching Columbo unravel the clues - read: re-watch ability. Hard to have a "whodoneit?" with a famous guest start if they aren't the murderer. Right? Cheers! B
