\"\"<\/p>\n

My wife and I have been watching Columbo<\/em> quite a bit lately.\u00a0 Since the show is available on several networks throughout the week, we’ve been DVRing them all to watch at our convenience.<\/p>\n

I watched Columbo<\/em> pretty regularly when it first aired, but I was at the age where I missed more than a few due to other priorities.\u00a0 My wife never really tuned in.\u00a0 We’re both enjoying the show now.\u00a0 It’s fun to see the number of stars appearing as the murderer (or murdered) and even more fun spotting future stars getting their first breaks as a background player.<\/p>\n

The fine folks at MeTV posted 13 Little Details You Probably Missed in Columbo<\/em><\/a>.\u00a0 It’s a fun piece you’d probably enjoy even if you don’t watch Columbo<\/em>.\u00a0 Before you click over here are three of my favorites and my thoughts (but for the full details click over)!<\/p>\n

\n

Columbo does secretly reveal his first name, once.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

(This was a surprise to me.\u00a0 I didn’t think Columbo’s first name was ever revealed.\u00a0 In fact we just watched an episode where Columbo was flat out asked his first name.\u00a0 His response was something to the effect of only his wife uses it and everyone else calls him, “Columbo”. But thanks to MeTV, now we know! – Craig)<\/p>\n

\n

The author from the first episode has books in later mysteries.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

(I love this.\u00a0 It shows that the people who made the series were paying attention to what went on before, and it creates a universe for Columbo that feels real. – Craig)<\/p>\n

\n

Captain Kirk makes a cameo.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

(Ha!\u00a0 This is a great trivia item.\u00a0 Captain Kirk makes a cameo. Not William Shatner – he guest stars, but Captain Kirk appears in the same show.\u00a0 Eagle eyed viewers would catch that.\u00a0 I’ll be on the lookout when I see the episode. – Craig)\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
