I had never heard of Ann baxter before, I was born in 1987 so the vast majority of celebrities special guest stars are unknowns to me, she is a master of her craft a power house performance, I read a review that due to columbo being a fan of the antagonist that he gushed over her and it made it act like a fool for no reason and that it wasn't columbo I disagree this is still the columbo we know and love we just got to see a new side to him played for comedy like the phone calls to his brother in law, he is still as meticulous and diligent and intelligent as always, I have seen a few of these over the years with my dad not seen them all , I'm doing a first watch/ re-watch from start to finish this is one of my faves of the ones I've seen in season 1 and 2 so far, given that Peter falk is no longer with us I'm glad there are so many to enjoy especially the more modern specials at the end I think it would be interesting (considering the trends nowadays) if they did a continuation with his "son" as detective inspector columbo perhaps he's a "chip of the old block" and given how kids pick up traits of their parents you could have some classic columbo qurks with some new ones thrown in to make the next gen columbo distinct and fresh.
