What's not to like?! After reading so many cold-hearted reviews of Murder With Too Many Notes, I had point out how fun this one is, yes not the obsessionally detailed forensic plot of the early era, but with Falk's experience in the skin of the legendary sleuth, and an admirably restrained but very likable killer in Connolly as his mark.... come on lighten up guys! There's not much more of this left in the great catalogue so enjoy the ephemeral element to it all. OK, a declaration of interest, I have to admit I would not give a Columbo episode any less than 7 out of 10 and I have seen all of them at least once.
