It was Ransom for a Dead Man.
You got 22 out of 30, one of my all time favorite TV shows, have seen every episode at least once, even the 1989-2003 episodes.
I got 'em all! I have the DVD set!
I really hate to see him go. Im glad they filled his spot with Andy Griffith and MASH. I simply refuse to watch Monk.
You can always watch Columbo (1968 - 2003) on COZY TV. They have been showing Columbo since 2018 and before, even now in September 2022.

Nice work! Celebrate with some silly string! Nothing gets by you. Perhaps you should go into the detective business.

27/30 hard gun smoke quiz easyer 12/12
29/30 I can't believe Dean Martian's excuse was it would take time out from his golfing.
It was Bing Crosby who turned down the role in favor of golf
27 out of 30, and the ones I missed weren't really about the show.
