I made two Monk/Poirot-Videos but I had to close them for public, because the Agatha Christie whatsoever wanted me to do so. I think the same would happen if we would make a Miss Marple-Video.
If you'd seen all these episodes I'm sure you'd appreciate the hilarious subtext. But since I guess most of you probably haven't, I might be the only one. xD
Yes Columbo does not have the defects Monk has, but Monk's reasoning ability far surpasses Columbo. His deductive powers rival or exceed Sherlock Holmes, and that is beyond what Columbo does.
I don't ever remember seeing his wife in any episode only his dog, just loved that old car, ( was it a Peugeot ) it just seemed to suit him and his character . R.I.P.
i always dreamed of columbo meeting his distant cousin, monk, somewhere around the corner of this beloved almost forgotten "art d'usine" (factory art), cinema .... or tevision, if you prefer to name it that way, as it happens to be the actual original name for cinema around here, in this deserted planet with plastic flowers falling all around...
His family was Palestinian; his father was Polish, with a mix of Hungarian and Czech, and his mother Russian.[5][6] He was the great-grandson of Miksa Falk, chief editor of the Budapest newspaper Pester Lloyd.[7]:216
the one meeting i always dreamed of, the meeting of monk and his distant cousin, columbo, somewhere around the corner of this beloved almost forgotten factory art, cinema (or tevision, if you prefer to name it that way, as it happens to be the actual original name for cinema ...)
Great compilation......great idea! Colombo and Monk still have TONS of LIFELONG fans! A movie with the two of them would be terrific. Plot: The network executives responsible for killing two popular TV detective shows suddenly turn up missing.....
(Or ANY other plot! Bring 'em back................PLEASE!)
First of: Nice idea, really, I loved it. Two of my favourite detectives combined in one show - that would have been a bomb. But, as so often, there is a minus: The song is nice, but after a while I wanna rip my ears of just to have some pain I can concentrate on... But without it, awesome!
The idea of Columbo movie is genius..and the personaje is so cute..inteligent-no agressive guns power or help from other peaple..he is the best ..i am 27 and i think there is no such smart movie in nowdays..
very creative. We truly appreciate the work you put into comparing two very unique and talented actors. Maybe this A-B style could help self-proclaimed "critics" in a lot of instances. Pictures do say a thousand words but a thousand words do not say a picture.
Not in this show. But there was a show in the USA about "Mrs. Columbo" with Kate Mulgrew (Captain Janeway from ST Voyager ;) - please look at her imdb-site ), but it was dropped because of too few quotes.
@ArianaMESS That Mrs. Columbo was not of any relation to this Columbo. You never see Columbo's wife. There are episodes where she is supposed to be present, ie, the cruise ship but you never see her. There are those who even speculated that she was something Columbo invented as another device, but the writers confirmed she did exist. We just never saw her. Columbo once claimed she was dieting and struggling with her weight....so there is a hint that Mrs. Columbo was a thick woman. haha
Sorry, I never saw the show Mrs. Columbo with K. Mulgrew, because it wasn't aired in my country, but I read somewhere that they made it look like she could be the wife of Peter Falk's C.
But my little video is not about Mrs. C. it is about Columbo and Monk. I know that Mrs. Columbo never appeared in the show but Columbo always talked about her. I only used original sentences like that in this little video to make it funnier and to show that both men love(d) their wives. :)
@ArianaMESS Well I should mention the people who created "Mrs. Columbo" did want it to be a spin off but the originators of Columbo & Falk hated the idea. The show did so poorly that they wound up changing the name of the show and not implying that she was Mrs. Columbo. It never did well with any name. The funny thing is the producers of Columbo said if they had another Columbo show he would say "Have you heard of that woman claiming to know me?" hehe Thanks for this video. I wish they had met.
@kerryoke68 i am sorry, but you are incorrect. she most definitely WAS intended to be portraying p. falk's "columbo" character's wife. i remember that show well.
@furpurr you are completely right and I thought I posted a correction about this a while ago. however, that being said, the originators of Columbo hated this idea SO much they refused to acknowledge her (Mrs. Columbo) and insisted she be changed to be more vague in later episodes. I think that is how I got confused about it. To me there was no Mrs. Columbo. RIP Peter Falk
@50s90sMusicRocks That was a.... "poetic question" . I well know we could never see her, I also heard something of a series with her, but I didn't really know. So, thanks for the answer.
Cool video. The Lieutenant DID make a cameo on Alias and they got it here. For all Columbo fans, they just released his 90s movies on dvd. I got my copy thru amazon.
we live on a world that is out side perfection,it is out side our world that makes us perfect.strange but true,but that is the way it is,i love freedom of information.But i just do not like the world we live in.
funny video,columbo versus monk,is like logic versus Perfection.but perfection is not freedom,let me tell you that........................................you cant learn what is out side perfection.
This was very nicely edited, if only they could make a real special episode of Monk where Peter Falk has a cameo role as Columbo. It would be a dream come true!
Well I was born in London, UK, and I have Polish television because my parents are Polish. I can speak Polish lol I dunno why I just typed that comment in English... but at least you get to practise English hehe.
What scares me is that one day the morons who are in charge of nowadays TV will try to re-make Columbo. It simply is NOT possible. Peter Falk is a legend and no-one will ever be able to emulate how perfectly he played the role of Columbo.
Love the video! Monk and Columbo together - one of my all-time television dreams!
It's such a shame ABC more than likely isn't going to make any more "Columbo" specials because of Peter Falk's age. I mean, he is 80 years old but there are plenty of actors that age and older who are still more than capable of doing that sort of work. If I was an eccentric billionare, I'd pay them millions upon millions to make it. Some might call that bribery but hey, it's Columbo!
This "teaser" isn't enough! We need to petition the "Monk" producers to write in the now-retired Lt. Columbo. But, would he still have the old car, the dog, and the raincoat? Legal problems can easily be overcome by greasing palms with cash.
Oh, thank you so much for your nice comment, viewingVideos2 (All others too ;) ). Columbo is also a part of my childhood and when I read that many people would like to see Monk and Columbo investigate together I thought: "Well, at least I should/could give it a try." ;)
you forgot about Misses... mother...fuckin MARPLE, that's right bitches.
