Columbo: Fade in to Murder  Season 6, Ep 1

Columbo investigates the death of a TV producer and immediately gets the attention of actor and murderer Ward Fowler (William Shatner), who plays a detective on TV. Fowler immediately sees through Columbo's aw-shucks act ("Why don't we stop pretending that I'm brilliant and you're simple for one moment?") and is among the least visibly rattled of Columbo's opponents. Episode is currently free to stream in the US via Amazon's Freevee (formerly IMDbTV), as is Columbo in general.

Someone say Columbo

So there's apparently a bunch of Columbo fans around here. Personally I never really watched it that much but the discussion on the Blue made it sound like the kind of thing I usually like. I'm watching the first episode right now. Anyone else want to join me? I already submitted it.
