Columbo Goes to the Marina
6 April 2016
Entertaining, if not totally plausible Columbo episode.

A flighty chick sailing around in circles in a boat turns her head at a precise moment to "see a shooting" in a marina apartment window from a long distance. Columbo tries to unravel her fish story. The killer finds out the name of the exact person who saw him (wouldn't happen) and then coerces her to begin a relationship with him (wouldn't happen) while Columbo realizes how to trap the guy on the advice of a local chili salesman (wouldn't-- well, you know).

Not a bad episode. Suzanne Pleshette is cute and Peter Falk is flawless, as usual.
