365 Days of Columbo: November 17th

On November 17th, 1971 the 4th episode of Season 1 aired: Suitable for Framing. It begins with the fastest on-screen killing of the entire series, just 55 seconds into the episode, and ends with one of the most satistfying gotchas of the entire series.

Happy birthday Robert Brown

Robert Brown was born November 17th. 1926 in Trenton, NJ. His name isn't that familiar to most Columbo fans and his role wasn't that pivotal, though he did get a number of minutes on-screen...he played Arthur, the hapless brother in Playback.
