___________________________________
PRODUCTION NOTES:
At 59:00 on the timeline, Ken Franklin is out on a date at a local playhouse. In the TV Movie, the theatre is never identified, so we went with the "Curran Playhouse Theatre".
In real life - the "Curran Playhouse" (actually in San Francisco) is where the world was first introduced to Detective Columbo when the original 1962 play PRESCRIPTION MURDER was first performed on 15 January 1962, and would quickly become a popular TV movie leading to the series "COLUMBO".
For more information - check out www.columbo-site.freeuk.com/mu...
It's certain that Apollo 14 astronaut Alan Sheppard's golf swing was reported by all the news outlets. However in researching this event - try as I might - I could not find any written account of the exact distance from his module. So at 1:10 on the timeline - "200 feet from his landing module" - is a total wild guess / 'shot-in-the-dark' on my part.

    Not sure if I mentioned it, but the gold pinky signet ring Ken was wearing actually belonged to Jack Cassidy and he was wearing it when he died, it helped identify him. His son David had one that matched as well.

    That's really neat; no i never knew that. That "ring-to-identify-the-wearer" practice.... That tradition is common among the wealthier folks, isn't it? I don't know why i noticed the ring in the first place. I think i'd just previously done "PRESCRIPTION MURDER" and here in "MURDER BY THE BOOK" and mens rings were still fresh in mind. If you want to hear me REALLY take liberties - I hope you'll check out my adaptation of "CANDIDATE FOR CRIME" - and specifically the CHP Vehicle Maintenance Stop as well as the mandated repairs ordered by the Highway Patrol. Thanks for your comments. Good talking to you man! :)

    Right On, Man! It really _is_ a whole different way of experiencing a story, isn't it? As you probably know - Spielberg was having technical issues with "Bruce the Shark" - which is why we nearly never actually "SAW" the shark in _JAWS._ It was all our imagination - which made the film so much better than it would have been otherwise. In short - Bruce's "breakdown" might have been one of the luckiest moments in Spielberg's life(?) LOL / and in the moment it was happening - i picture a frantic Spielberg, terribly upset that he'd had to do a "work-around", thus thinking it wouldn't be as good - and in fact it was quantum better.

    I agree, Thank You So Much for these descriptive audio Columbo episodes. I am not visually impaired, only near-sighted, yet I'm one of millions of workers who have to stare at monitors every day, both at work and at home. Unfortunately, at the end of the day, many of us seek a distraction, or "entertainment", through television, DVD's, or books - the former two requiring us to, again, look at monitors. Your audio episodes allow us to lean back, close our eyes, and listen to your voice as you wonderfully describe what is happening "on the screen". :) Yes, many times I've fallen asleep somewhere along the "journey" through which you are taking us, but I sometimes awake near the end where Columbo catches the murderer/murderess. Additionally, as a strange benefit, I can actually hear your voice in my dreamscape, and I can honestly tell you that you've made it possible for me to "see" episodes in my dream, where I physically become part of this unusual dream, like some strange witness, who is able to talk to and/or interact with the characters. A very nice and unexpected bonus. :D I Thank You, and my eyes Thank You! :D

    Production Note (there will not be a test). at 25 minutes into CANDIDATE / the scene in his dentists office - Columbo & Dr Parenccio are listening to the opera RIGOLETTO (i.e. - this music is already / inseparably part of the original TV soundtrack.) Immediately before THIS scene - my narration introduces the scene and takes about a full minute to describe everything going on. Again - 1st my narrative - then the Dentist soundtrack. So to accompany my "pre-scene" narration - I use the same part of RIGOLETTO as you hear in the TV soundtrack. In fact, I synched it up exactly so that "my" rigoletto leads straight into "columbo's" rigoletto. ;-) If interested (& it's OK if you're not) - here it is, cued up kzread.info/dash/bejne/q4OopNWIiZyql6g.html

That's a lot of work because you have to choose how to accurately describe what the listener is supposed to imagine without sound monotonous-it's not like u have a script- so you're awesome!!

So there's not many but I swear they do exsist and when I Google it nothing shows up except the quirky fact of how the audience never meets Mrs.Columbo but he always speaks of her. I'd really like to check those out again. If anyone knows where they can be found please let me know :):)

I only know the PILOT episode is available on one of the COLUMBO DVD Box Sets (from the first 7 seasons - but I can't recall specifically which). SIDE NOTE: In Columbo terms the first 7 seasons were the best. Just like LAW & ORDER - the first SIX seasons were the best. So in each case - my wife & I refer to those first best seasons as "The Old Testament").

    Ms. La Sanka (she had the overbite) and the reporter who interviewed Ken at his house also had an overbite which leads me to think that the character was written to have an overbite and the reporter was probably someone who auditioned for that role. Marcia Wallace is also in this episode and she had the overbite thing goin too. Ken's date at the theatre (Anita Ford) was one of the original Price Is Right models.

She & a fellow actor had just finished a session at a Venice Beach acting class. As they walked out to the parking lot - they were both shot at. She died immediately, but her friend was able to file a report with LAPD - and then he died just a few minutes later. According to the police report NO ONE (including the male victim) knew why they were shot! Sad. :(

So once we remove the commercials - a 1 hr episode becomes 48 minutes, which takes me about 3 months. Then I plan my "PREMIERE" for whatever special occasion or holiday comes AFTER that 3 month period. E.g. Christmas, Tax Day, Super Bowl Sunday. Any "special occasion" that most people recognise. Butin terms of actual "content", Columbo episodes are a little LONGER than 1 hour (including commercials, each Columbo is 1 hr, 30 minutes.)

    Dude! Thanks for your kind words - and I'm _delighted_ to talk about the software. Personally - I've been using the free download _AUDACITY_ and also _Acoustica iMix_ (the best $ 30 i've ever spent!) Here's a Free Demo of iMix --> download.cnet.com/Acoustica-MP3-Audio-Mixer/3000-2170_4-10029712.html Acoustica says they no longer "SUPPORT" this software - so they're giving it away for free. download.acoustica.com/legacy/Acoustica-MP3-Audio-Mixer-Installer.exe (don't worry about the "cybersafe warning" - i can vouch for this company, as i've been using their software for nearly 20 years (iMix first came out in 2001)). I record everything on Apple iPhone (early on the iPhone 4, then the iPhone 6, and now iPhone SE 2020). I'm sure Android is every bit as good! Scene by scene - i write each line from the episode, and write in my own narration, one scene at a time. I made the mistake once of writing the whole TV script up front, all at once, and "THEN" adding in my narration. BIG MISTAKE. Far better to write it scene-by-scene. For me at least; don't know why. Try to only "narrate" when necessary. If the audience can tell what's going on just from the dialog - then no need for narration. Sometimes - the characters say something inaudible. When this happens, i - the narrator - take the obscure phrase, and work it into my narration - just before the TV character says it. That way - the audience has the phrase fresh in their ear, and they're sort of ready for it. If you have any questions - please ask here in comments - *_OR_* you can email me at brian@ProjectWasabi.com If all goes well - our next programme comes out this Christmas 2021. PLEASE send me your first audio drama - i would LOVE to hear your work. :)

    By the way - regarding microphones - over the years - i've purchased dedicated microphones, as well as the TASCAM digital audio recorder (which is a self-contained microphone and mp3 storage device all rolled into one). NOTHING works as well as the Apple iPhone Mic. (again - the same might be true of Android mics, but I'm not as familiar with Android). Point being - try using your smartphone mic BEFORE you spend money on a dedicated microphone which might not be as good as your smartphone. By the way - in order to get the sound *FROM* my iPhone *TO* my Windows PC - i send it to Google Drive. Once there, i can download it to my PC. If you can do it with your USB cable then more power to you. Personally i was never able to do this with USB cable; hence the Google Drive.

In an interview with his ex-wife Shirley Jones, she said that he was very jealous of his sons popularity,and when she decided to divorce him because she'd had enough of his verbal and emotional abuse, the boys asked her if they'd could go with her!

He was bipolar (I think before they knew what bipolar was.). Not uncommon in the arts. He was non monogamous, and did a variety of drugs. Killed himself accidentally at a young age. I kind of feel bad for the guy. Not that he was a saint (tsk) I dunno....

So I am picturing Levison saying, "Imagine if a mystery writer (a guy like me) wanted to kill his partner (a guy like you)." It seems to be art imitating life. This two-man mystery-writing team invented a two-man mystery-writing team and pitted them against each other. Presto - a premise for a Columbo episode.
