Columbo Interrogates Tommy Brown (Johnny Cash) | Columbo 

Johnny Cash calling Peter Falk 'Lil Buddy is adorable.

I saw someone else say it, but Johnny’s voice really does sound like music even when he’s just speaking.

I love "Swan Song" as much as I did Johnny Cash. It's awesome to hear his comments about doing the episode and how Pete Falk helped him with his acting during the filming of the episode. The ending is also unforgettable.

Johnny cash acting in this is natural and never in question. Sometimes that goes unnoticed I think?

I consider this my favorite Columbo. Johhny Cash is great. And the song "I saw the Light" is my favorite song he ever sang. CASH and Falk really have good chemistry.

Johnny Cash was a very good actor as well.

The view from the window of the Colonel's office is so real and lifelike. It's impossible to tell that they're just on a soundstage in a studio with a matte painting behind the window.

Two men with iconic voices.

Merci for this. Columbo was his usual self, but Johnny really showed his ability. If you ever want to see who he really was, look at his last concert. It was in a home and he was almost blind, shaking and couldn't walk. They wheeled him up, sat him in a chair, put a guitar in his hand, and he said "Hello, I'm Johnny Cash", and proceeded to sing hhis songs, in the few weeks after June Carter Cash died. His voice was raoucous, and he needed water even during songs. But he sang. He acted like Tommy brown.

One of my favorite episodes. ❤️and yes!!! Acting came naturally to Johnny Cash. Just .........made it look SO easy 🌹

This Columbo episode with Johnny Cash is my number one FAVORITE! I just adored Johnny Cash and his singing, and when he and Peter Falk got together the both of them were so cute!!!❤❤

Rest in powerful peace Johnny Cash 🙏 26 February 1932 ~ 12 September 2003⚘

Great episode with a great ending, it had it all... And Boss Hogg too!!! 👍👍

LOL the military commander guy's lines make him sound exactly like a character in a point and click adventure game

"There's a man goin' roun' takin' names, of who to save and who to blame". Only just realised that song was about Columbo.

Tommy dodged the question about the difference in recordings like a pro! It's a shame for him that Lt. Columbo can't be fooled that easily.

Anything Johnny Cash says (or sings) sounds special

Tommy facial reactions to when Colombo said 'we were there'! Lol 😆

Columbo always has a twinkle in his eyes…he loves his job!

Rest in powerful peace Peter Falk 🙏 16 September 1927 ~ 23 June 2011⚘

I like the end dialogue between cash and Colombo.

Cash was a competent actor. I would have liked to see him in more acting roles. He was more convincing than Elvis, anyway. His character in this was amoral, you have to say that. Yet...still felt a little sorry for him. he was being blackmailed which is a crime that is so cowardly and insidious yet perpetrators of that crime are never looked upon as hardened criminals (in movies and TV, anyway). Probably because the victims of the crime have done something equally as nasty or worse.

This was a kickass episode. Lord have mercy. Johnny Cash!!

FUN FACT: The director of this episode, Nicholas Colasanto, later went on to fame in front of the camera, playing "Coach" on "Cheers"!

That Boss Hog. I always pegged him as a shifty character. 😄😄😄

Ask away little buddy, that southern draw is smooth as hell

I remember when they had this episode up in full on this channel. I never knew up till I saw this episode Johnny Cash was an actor as well as a singer. It took me a while to recognise the guy playing the record producer as the same guy in the Sigma Society high IQ club who Theodore Bikel tickled and shot.

Columbo went to his concert and got an advanced copy of the record because he knew that mofo was going away for good

Currently watching this episode and it is awesome.

何度も見ても 素晴らしい作品。 ジョニー出演凄いなあ

Definitely the most sympathetic of the killers. Man his wife was wretched

Peter falk and Johnnie cash,. Doesn't get any better than that .pure class.

It's really funny hearing the "Twist stuff" referred to as degenerate considering how it's now on the "oldies" stations for old folks.

Oh Johnny boy. Great man of God. Now he sees the light of the kingdom. PRAISE THE LORD

Absolutely the best columbo episode!!!!

This episode was directed by Nick “Coach Ernie Pantusso” Colasanto of “Cheers” fame.

Tommy Brown and Adrian Carsini got along with Columbo fairly well.

Johnny C is so charming and Columbo is so persistent and crafty.

I've always loved Johnny Cash and in Swan song 🎵 Johnny Cash sang Hank Williams, I saw the light, beautifully, even Hank Williams would've been very impressed ❤. The Man in black is loved by me and all his family and friend's forever ❤ ♥

One of my favourite episodes

One of my favorite Columbo episodes. Kinda felt sorry for Tommy. His wife was really a viper!

Nice bit role for John Randolph (the USAF Colonel). Always a pleasure.

Johnny Cash reminds me of my Grandad. 😢❤️

Cash quality acting and Boss Hog glasses! Colombo knew he had Tommy here! Lol

johnny cash feels larger than life. has a brando vibe to him here. something compelling about his performance, the deliberateness of his performance thats simultaneously natural. a gifted artist, conscious of his flaws and yet irresistably charming theres a beautiful wistfulness in peter falk's expressions when he hears cash sing as well. like he understands him. they really sang in this episode

This is my favourite episode

Real, honest talent here. The cream rises to the top. 'Nuff said.

My fave episode!

This scene gets better everytime I watch it 😍

I love Jonny cash good singer and good actor l love his southern accent

thank you.

Is that the actor who played Boss Hogs from the Duke of Hazard. Wearing large round pink sunglasses.

This was great episode johnny cash good in this episode

❤Tribute to Johnny Ray Cash born in Kingsland,Arkansas,February 26th 1932 and dead in Nashville,Tennessee,December 12th at 71 years old,Country Music in Black❤

One of my favorite episodes. JC did well

Vždy jsem se dívala na Columba,ale tuto epizodu jsem neviděla😢

Columbo: If you want, can i cuff the Dukes myself? Boss Hogg: Why not?

You know, i love the episodes where the murderer and columbo get along more than the episodes where columbo straight up hates the guy. For me at least its more compelling when its visible that columbo doesnt actually want to get the guy, but something deep inside tells him he has to because its right. Maybe under different circumstances they could have been the best of friends, and while the investigation is going try to enjoy the moment. But you can tell with each question and every action is just leading towards his suspects down fall. You can see it in his eyes the conflict this brings. This episode and donald pleasance episodes are my absolute favorite due to the tragedy it brings to everyone involved.

Columbo is gonna nail ya ALWAYS

Colonel is shell shocked 😂

2 of my favourite people.

I love the record producer guy's huge round glasses!

Johnny est super dans Columbo 👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇨🇵

"What did he do in your outfit, sir?" "Parachute rigging." You can almost hear the lightbulb going off in Columbo's head.

Classic

Johnny Cash was a real entertainer unlike the actor/politicians we have today.

I saw the liiiiight I saw the liiiiiiight no more darkness....

Is this episode the precursor to his prison song…🤣

GOOD HIGH !!!

That’s for sure,

Number one on the charts? That?

5 years later he turned into Boss Hogg.

Praise the lord, I saw the light.. 🎼

Seeing Mr. Booke in this episode makes me wish even more that there could've been a crossover with The Dukes of Hazzard. Picture this- a couple of high-class smugglers come to Hazzard. They're intent to do business with the Boss, but just before the deal goes down, one pops the other. Somehow one of the Dukes stumbles across the dying one and tries to help, but then the other one gets the drop on 'em and tries to frame them. Here's a kicker- As bad as Boss wants the Dukes out of what's left of his hair, he doesn't believe for a minute that any of them are murderers. The sentiment is shared by his officers, as well as the rest of the county. Trouble is, the smuggler is a well-off snot with strong-arming lawyers who buck to keep charges up. It doesn't help that it looks pretty open and shut. Or does it? While everyone's scrambling to figure things out, up to the curb of the courthouse rolls a vintage Peugeot 304 convertible. And in a puff of smoke out climbs a scruffy little man in a raincoat. There's a pair of officers standing on the stairs. One is in a standard-issue blue-and-black uniform, and the other is in a suit, which he put on just after getting in from California. The scruffy man walks up to the two and says to the one in the suit, "Hello Enos. How're you?" "I've been better. Sherriff, this is that mentor of mine I was telling you about. His name is Frank Columbo." From there things just write themselves.

Little buddy.

If Johnny told me what any drug does I would feel confident in taking his word for it.

Wtf !?!? It's Johnny Cash !!!

BOSS HOGG!!!

HOMICIDE?!🤣😂

I wish Tommy would’ve gotten away with it

Wow. Billy from Predator was in Columbo?

What a nerve, after all that , he’s asks for a free bee🤬

The Colonel only has 11 ribbons. Hmm

anyone know the date of this?

The young lady, Miss Cobb, that Tommy Brown sexually assaulted, is treated as a blackmail prop by Edna while she and Edna are living, and then as a nothing by the man that sexually assaulted her after her and Edna's murder. Columbo even has to remind him of Miss Cobb. She remains a sad victim.

He was a highwayman......."

Great episode, but come on. Who would believe that a plane falls thousands of meters and the pilot survives? It would be screaming ''I did it'' from a mile away.

Elvis is alive and well

Hello, I'm Johnny Crash..dut dut dut:)

This episode has echoes of Elmer Gantry.

should've directed the episode where Cash shoots his manager cause he wanted him dead all these years cause he found out the manager had keot back money from him, and where should this take place? at Columbos vacation destination ofcourse... Reno, nevada

Johnny cash did a great job as a murderer in this episode! He fooled me!

"What did he do in your office sir" "Parachute rigging" Look at Columbo's reaction there. That's where he knew everthing clicked together and he orders the autopsy.

Sorrell Booke playing against type as the hip music manager.

Boss HOGG getting hot... he's pissed with Colombo.. acting all defensive attorney..

The funniest thing is Johnny Cash never got even charged for all the murders he committed.. I am sure he suffered bad moods after that... But he killed a lot of people.. Before he died. RIP.

Columbo should have been in charge of the George Flloyd case

Elvis impersinator

HMMM 🤗
