Yep, because obviously an Italian/European couldnt have been the one to discover America ; it had to be an American.

Small addition. The reason the general said someone with the name of Columbo should be more at home on a boat is because Christopher Columbus’s birth name was Cristoforo Colombo. It’s also why Columbo said “it must of been another branch of the family, sir.” So, you were close. Love your videos!

According to Suzanne Pleshette, in an interview she recorded for the Television Academy, Eddie Albert made a very frank, unflattering assessment of Peter Falk’s professionalism at the end of shooting. “I always wanted to work with you-but y’know, you’re a real asshole!” Pleshette, a friend of Falk’s, didn’t speak to him for a period-although they eventually reconciled.

As I watch the episode, it certainly appears they were on-stage together at least a couple times, but she did say it didn't happen. Italy is surrounded by water. For that reason, all Italians are loosely considered to be seafarers. This is NOT my favorite episode; not even close.

But it's that character flaw which added to Columbo's challenge. While it's true that If she had not flipped the investigation would have continued and Columbo would still have gotten his man. All her change of heart did initially was to isolate Columbo in his pursuit of justice, but Helen really had nothing else to add to the case once her initial report was made, so it didn't matter to the case either way she went, but keeping her on her original track would have then made her a passive, neutral element with nothing further to contribute. By having her flip, she became a far more dynamic character than she otherwise would have been, and it was fully consistent with her character development up to that point; her lack of self-confidence was an ongoing theme in her life. By allowing that trait to play out once again, but countermanding it in the end when the General was caught, she could be taught a valuable lesson about trusting herself in the future, a lesson her character badly needed, but would have been impossible to distill from this particular situation otherwise.

I see it a bit differently. I think she is a sad, lonely widdow who was Incredibly isolated from any hope of romantic companionship. She had also been told by everyone that this man was innocent when she believed him guilty. Why should she choose to believe them telling her he may be guilty when she had judged him innocent? I'm not saying her actions were smart or right. I'm just saying I can understand why she would take those actions given the entirety of her character.

A pretty well known WW2 general , who has his own aviation/WW2 museum in Orange County , California, actually ended up starting a construction company and made a heck of a lot of money building homes for GI’s. I often wondered how he ended up winning those contracts.

As an episode of Columbo, I actually find Dead Weight a little lacking. It’s missing those little interactions between Columbo and the killer that causes the killer to further incriminate himself. Pretty much all of the events shown would’ve unfolded without Columbo’s input. It was only the realization that the general used his famous gun that was Columbo’s key discovery. The scene at the museum was anti-climactic, as they didn’t need for the general to do or say anything to give himself away. If they had the ballistics report on the gun, the only thing left to do was to arrest the general… which would have occurred regardless of how the scene played out. I guess the scene was there to wrap up Helen’s involvement in the story. But overall, I think the episode lacked the cleverness we see in so many other Columbo stories. Maybe just two cigars from me, despite the really big lighter! Having said that, I still enjoyed your analysis of the episode! Keep them coming. 🙂

Great review! Always enjoy your take on the shows. A few funny things that I noticed over the years. When Columbo is talking to Helen and her mom for the first time and her mom is tossing the salad, what is that dog and cat art next to her? They look like bottles since it looks like the heads can be removed. Maybe vinegar and oil for the salad? Kinda creepy! Also in the scene with Bert did you see the rifle he had on the wall??? Must be a bad neighborhood. And one more thing... I think the conversation about the fireplace with the General is because Columbo was wondering where the iron fireplace tools where, meaning the General could use them to weigh down the body. Oh I just remembered something - the General's fancy blue jacket with his hideous orange shirt! He looked like he's going to a Denver Broncos game!

Susanne Pleshette got a supporting role in "Nevada Smith" as a love interest to Steve McQueen who played the title role. Word is they were both good friends, had a purely Platonic relationship and that Steve was shepherding her as an actress, showing her the ropes so-to-speak. He thought of her as a little sister, and Susanne thought of him as a big brother, so it made the love scenes very awkward for both of them. Besides her famous role as Emily on "The Bob Newhart Show", it was that performance of hers that I like the most. I think her most memorable appearance is as Emily Hartley, again, but this time in the final show of Bob Newharts second TV show "Newhart" which had run for 8 seasons. In the final episode, at the end of the episode where all of the characters from the show had parts and stories, Bob is hit in the head by a golf ball which knocks him out. When the lights come back on, he's in his queen size bed on his side and he turns on his night stand lamp and says, "Honey, honey wake up. You won't believe the dream I just had." "Uh" we hear from the other side of the bed. "Well don't you want to hear about it?", Bob says. And Susanne turns on the lamp on her night stand (the audience recognizes her and goes wild) and says, "Alright Bob. What is it?" Bob goes on to describe the previous 8 season show as if it were a dream he had, they're back in Chicago, *_they've never left Chicago,_* the Hartley's are still married and still in that same apartment some 12 years later. That one's got to be the most ingenious TV finale ever. TV legend if you ask me.

Suzanne Pleshette was obviously a deep actress, I think we needed more of her character’s back story about the psychology of being taken in by this much older man and I’m sure Suzanne could have provided that with a more balanced script. Obviously the 1971 script didn’t have the time for that, but without it, there wasn’t the logic. That was the 1970”s for you.

That was very interesting of another actor playing him while he was protesting. It didn't make sense much to me either that she would go out with the guy she reported, great job!

Great review again, thoroughly enjoyed it and after all these years and multiple viewings I didn't know about the end scene and the dispute. It reminds me of the Columbo board game (of which I own a copy) where the makers didn't have Peter Falks permission to use his image so Columbo is always with his back turned. Look it up and get a copy its awesome for a Boxing Day games fest!

Maybe Columbo didn't look around the General's house more because he didn't have a search warrant? Oooh, and maybe that's also a reason why he sometimes "accidentally" gets lost/open random doors in peoples' houses. He can "look around", but not do a search??? Also, I am enjoying watching these! This one is extra funny/entertaining. Both due to the episode and your great commentary/choice of clips and stills. Thanks for posting these.

There's always something new to find 😊

Something that happens episode after episode, being one of Columbo's favorite techniques, is that he consistently tells the suspect different doubts or loose ends, the suspect's effort to explain and discard each of the doubts, gives him away.

Columbo fans love the show but I agree with you. I actually thought it was pretty bad with Hollister's actions and how Helen was so quick to change her mind. I think each episode they try to experiment with different storylines and this must have been about a witness who is smooth-talked into changing her mind.

If they find it necessary to inform me that a guy has charisma - say, in a news broadcast - I kinda develop my doubts about how much charisma he actually has. What does this actor tell his agent? "Here's a role: This fella who just oozes charisma. Put me up for it."

I find Hollister’s actions plausible because he’s got a fat ego and he’s a General who always has to be in control of every situation. He’d be tough to live with, not a big surprise he’s single.

He's referring to Colombus the explorer. The names are related. I think it's the same name but translates differently into different languages. The name Colombo is Italian. I think the name Columbus may be the Spanish, Latin or English translation of Colombo.

He was not called "Columbus" in his time. He had a name similar to Cristoforo Colombo, or something like that. We are not sure today, due to a lack of contemporary written records. "Columbus" is an English version of the name. I think the Hollister character was referring to Columbus in the script.
