Columbo Is Poisoned | Columbo 

You'll notice that Columbo very carefully and without attracting any suspicion, advised her to remain silent, thus rendering her confession admissible.

"My wife's got a bad case of flu, I didn't want to disturb her" He knows how to drop a clanger in a very soft way.

As a kid I remember my brother crying because he thought he actually was poisoned. Great acting

Hands up all you youngsters who love Columbo despite being born after it ended!

Obtains confession, trolls the murderer, and gets a free head massage out of it. That's why he's the best.

0:42 For a second there, she thought about stopping him from eating it. Wondered if she'd be going too far, if she hadn't already. And Columbo knew, he waited, gave her the chance to explain things without adding another attempted murder charge to her list.

"You see, this is not my kitchen floor." Priceless.

"Besides which, you wanted to kill my wife, and you tried to kill me. I take that very personally." *Smack!* "And you also assaulted a police officer."

I like when he said “I don’t think so ma’am.” She had better be glad that he still showed her some respect after she tried to kill his beloved wife. You don’t mess with Mrs. Columbo.

“Sargeant - did you get all that?” “Nope. I was standing in another room with a tiny tape recorder while she quietly confessed.”

No smart person was ever better at playing dumb that Columbo.

For a moment, there, she looked as if she didn’t want him to take a bite out of the “poisoned toast!”

I remember seeing this when still a boy. I truly believed Mrs. Columbo was dead. That ending thrilled me so much, I became hooked on the series.

Can't imagine anyone other than Falk playing Columbo. Seen every episode. Still watch them.

She acted soooo well, my goodness.

Her acting is top level. Bro, she is crying

He played her like a cheap violin

"I don't think so ma'am. You see, this is not my kitchen floor." 👩🏼🤯🤯🤯

I remember watching this as a kid and seeing him "poisoned", thinking for a while that this was the first time Columbo had genuinely come unstuck. Scary for a moment!

I love the way he talks to his wife at the end.

This episode always makes me shiver. Her pain is depicted so well that one starts to understand how someone can be swept down by it and tries to pass on the pain to those one sees responsible. It is tragic, and in the end not a monster is caught but a hurt human who has become a murderer is shown sympathy but also justice.

I was thinking that this woman did a very convincing job here. I think she went above the norm. I didn't expect this. Maybe the director or writer? Okay, somebody did their job.

His humility subdefuses his enemies and takes the rug from under them.....tooooo gooood

Sgt. Brady decorates his place like an old woman.

When I watch these I don't feel that 40 years have passed and I feel so sad.

For some reason, this scene always makes me laugh. It's my favorite trap of all the ones Columbo ever closed on a suspect.

You sure you don't want a piece...😂😂😂 Columbo enjoyed eating and teasing her with that toast! Savage!

"It's not my kitchen floor".

She is a tremendous actress top performance.

I remember when I first saw this I thought for a brief moment that she legit was gonna kill him here. Then after he gives his whole ‘gotcha’ spiel I was like ohhhh snap!!! Definitely one of the best episodes.

She damn near slapped his false eye out! 👀

Helen Shaver is excellent in this Columbo episode. She reminds me in her performance and voice of another great actress, Jessica Walter-brilliant in Clint Eastwood’s “Play Misty for me”.

"I take that very personally"

So bottom line: Peter Falk was a great actor,Columbo was a great actor too..that explains the high salary 😎

Columbo had so many memorable soundtracks. This is one of them.

Even when Columbo is slapped through the face, he remains as COOL as a cucumber. Oh my man, if only I could be as cool as you ! Keep on catchin' them baddies !!!

I love how Colombo played her. The funeral was the greatest! I just love Colombos shows. And just one more thing. ❤

This is one of my favorite episodes of all time! Columbo will always be the greatest detective ever!!!

*Woman attempts to murder Columbo and his wife* "I take that very personally."

Although I think Peter Falk is a tremendously talented actor...in this particular scene his acting is quite ordinary....but the acting of the woman who has murdered his wife and is in the process of murdering him is quite extraordinary. The pure ecstasy she is experiencing as she watches Columbo succumb to the poison is magnificently portrayed.

> I don't think so M'am.. you see this is NOT my kitchen floor >> What ?? > I said: this is NOT my kitchen floor and this is NOT my house. This belongs to my friend... Sergeant Brady Class episode.

_Just one more thing:_ _Columbo_ can't be poisoned, he's the universal antidote ;-)

Columbo is the only cop who never needs handcuffs

Columbo looks like he's been poisoned in every episode but I think it was the chain-smoking that made him look that way and nobody could play that role except Peter Falk one of the best

The best detective TV show ever, by far!!! No one comes even near to Columbo and Peter Falk's masterful performance of the main protagonist.

Just smacked the one man who would have had sympathy for her. One of the best detectives, but he had a very big heart.

"What kind of poison?" "Something very unusual. Something called iocane."

I was for a second convinced missus columbo was dead when watching the beginning, greatest show

I just seen episode just a couple nights ago, I still watch the Columbo shows every weekend.

I love this ending. She thought she had it all in the bag, until Columbo outfoxed her!

My favorite memories are watching this with my dad on A&E. I got the complete series too. 😀 I subscribed as soon as I saw this channel. Thank you

I like how at the end of all these clips, Columbo says "just one more thing" in a chipmunk voice

Now THAT is acting!! I could feel her pain!!

this is a very special episode- just watched it on tv again- great idea and helen shaver played so good...!

One of the best "Gotcha"! moments...

A great great show ! Peter Falk was pure magic as Lt Columbo ! 💯🥇🌟⭐✨

I can't believe he was so polite to her after she tried to kill his wife, but I love the scene at the end when he has that sweet phone call with his wife

I must have watched a dozen Columbo episodes on RU-vid and none of them had even a quarter of the resolution that this clip does. Compared to them this feels like "Columbo 4K."

That must have been a pretty emotional scene to play...you notice the actress was really crying toward the end?

She boxed Columbo’s jaws!!

"Just one more thing, add assaulting a Lieutenant to that charge of murder Sargent." 'Will do sir'.

Columbo was the best detective I use to love his movies. Just one more thing 👍

Don't be fooled ma'am, he's Columbo & not as stupid as u think. He is one smart detective out to get u, this is what makes him & the show soooo great. I also like the answer he gives her...."but this isn't my kitchen floor & this isn't my house" ....classic.

This, along with "Strange Bedfellows," "Negative Reaction," and "Columbo Cries Wolf" - are my favorite Columbo GOTCHAS.

I feel like a film noir villain wandered into a Columbo movie.

This is my favorite episode, the best detective show EVER!!

He sure wiped the smile off her face

I am 62 years old now...today is 25th.May 2021....Thanks to COLOMBO...It takes me back to my old days...thanks from Phillipine... ....

she wouldnt have knocked his glass eye out. she hit him on the left side, his right eye is the affected one. besides, i doubt they just pop out.

This has to be the most hilarious scene of the entire Colombo series 🤣🤣🤣

"You see this is not my kitchen floor" Mustve felt like a bomb.

I remember that episode. I found it quite memorable.

For a killer, she is mighty loving. Except for the slap at the end.

“I don’t think so ma’am. You see, this is not my kitchen floor.” “What” “And this is not my house.” “And I’m not Lieutenant Columbo.” “And you’re not the murderer...You’re the victim. Who is also my wife.” “Wha- But...” (dies)

Peter Falk as Columbo ranks right up there with Bob Ross and Fred Rogers as one of the best unintentional ASMRtists in the known universe.

OH JUST ONE MORE THING!?!? I love columbo!!!!!!

He took that slap a lot better than I would have.

Old enough to have watched every epsiode from 1 to the end as they came on telly. Now have them all on did. Priceless

Gary Cooper? The strong, silent type? Tony Soprano would love Columbo.

She tried to kill him on top of her murder. Life Sentence...

The acting, directing, music, writing, tone, etc...of these later Columbo's were a significant shift from the superior earlier episodes.

Sherlock Holmes once did this exact same thing to catch a killer.

Best columbo! Rest in peace Peter Falk!

I remember watching columbo when I was a kid with my grandma and my mom ...

Often he does not simply solve the case. He breaks the murderer.

6:29 "I'm Chris Hansen, why don't you take a seat over there ..."

Watched this with my brother back in '95.

Looks like that was a real slap in the face!! Literally!

Outwitted by the smartest person in any room, of any house, of any crime scene, and of any physical structure with walls. I wish i had his mind.

I’m always so sad that I don’t have a husband who loves me like Columbo loves his wife! I don’t know what to do.

To reveal the truth you sometimes must play the fool!

“Nobody sees anybody truly but all through the flaws of their own egos. That is the way we all see ...each other in life. Vanity, fear, desire, competition-- all such distortions within our own egos-- condition our vision of those in relation to us. Add to those distortions to our own egos the corresponding distortions in the egos of others, and you see how cloudy the glass must become through which we look at each other. That's how it is in all living relationships except when there is that rare case of two people who love intensely enough to burn through all those layers of opacity and see each other's naked hearts.” Tennessee Williams.

As soon as I heard her say "In a little while." I recognized her voice. Its Littlefoot's Mother from the Land Before Time! What! Her pronunciations are ao distinct! Amazing actress.

Did you know that they made a TV series called "Mrs. Columbo", starring Kate Mulgrew, 1979-1980? Later we got to know her as Captain Janeway of "Star Trek: Voyager".

Best I gotcha in the entire series.

GREAT lady and actress.

I bet they got it from the Sherlock Holmes story the "Dying Detective"

Ive watched Columbo since the 70s

Mrs Columbo always appeared in our imaginations.
