Dagger of the Mind - S2-E4

Other mistake: Several of the English characters change back and forth between calling Columbo "leftenant" and "lootenant."

Lovely But Lethal - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: Dr. Murcheson is not wearing gloves when he scrapes the women's faces. Then he goes into another room and removes a gray glove from his left hand.

Mind Over Mayhem - S3-E6

Trivia: In "Etude in Black," season 2, episode 1, Columbo uses the fact that the mileage on the car in the repair shop changes to help solve the crime. In "Mind Over Mayhem," season 3, episode 6, he again uses the mileage change to help solve the crime.

Columbo Likes the Nightlife - S13-E5

Trivia: When Price murders Cohen, he looks like he is revolted by what he has done. This is the only Columbo murderer who feels that way. All the others appeared OK with what they had done. Also, this is the last Columbo episode.

Leicaman

Étude in Black - S2-E1

Trivia: When Benedict conducts Beethoven's Sixth Symphony, the recording was actually the NBC Symphony, conducted by Toscanini.

Leicaman

Étude in Black - S2-E1

Character mistake: In the performances, Benedict is not conducting; he is waving his arms around.

Leicaman

Étude in Black - S2-E1

Other mistake: When Benedict puts his briefcase in the back of the Jaguar, the hatch does not close properly. It is still not closed properly when he picks up the car from the repair shop.

Leicaman

The Most Dangerous Match - S2-E7

Other mistake: The police photographer takes a picture of the garbage grinder. His camera has a flash, and the photo is indoors, but the flash does not fire.

Leicaman

Ransom for a Dead Man - S1-E1

Factual error: When Mrs. Williams takes Columbo flying, she does some aerobatics. Neither of them is wearing a seatbelt. No pilot would do that.

Leicaman

Undercover - S12-E3

Continuity mistake: When Krutch speaks to Columbo on the phone about 40 minutes into the show, his voice sounds like he has a cold. Earlier and later in the show, his voice doesn't sound like that.

Leicaman

A Trace of Murder - S13-E2

Trivia: When Columbo is leaving Kinsley's office, he says, "I set that up for tomorrow. That'll be good. You and me together, Pat. Three eyes are better than one." This is a nod to Peter Falk (Columbo) having only one eye, having lost one to retinoblastoma when he was three years old.

Leicaman

Blueprint for Murder - S1-E8

Character mistake: Columbo talks to the cardiologist. The doctor gives him information about his patient, Mr. Williamson. Columbo has no warrant, so the doctor is violating privilege. He wouldn't give that information to Columbo.

Leicaman

Murder with Too Many Notes - S13-E4

Other mistake: In the movie within the story the murderer repeatedly stabs the victim and pulls back the knife. Even after several stabs there is no blood on the knife. (00:02:25 - 00:05:45)

Leicaman

Dead Weight - S1-E4

Other mistake: Columbo goes into a diner and has a bowl of chili. The cook asks if he wants his coffee black. Later he asks if he wants cream and sugar in his coffee.

Leicaman

No Time to Die - S11-E2

Other mistake: When Melissa sends Andy to have a shower we see that there are several sets of clothing in the closet. We see them again in her flashback when she awakes after being kidnapped. They have just arrived in the Bridal (Empire) Suite, and are leaving very early the next morning for their honeymoon. Why would those clothes be in the closet?

Death Hits the Jackpot - S11-E1

Trivia: The car Freddy is looking at is a Dino 308 GTS (made by Ferrari, but not officially a Ferrari), which was manufactured from 1977 to 1980. (The photo and the car in the dealership has the rear side window slats from the later 308GTSi.) Freddy is going to pay $175,000 for the car. That car, when new, cost slightly more than $30,000, and the most expensive 308 Dino ever sold went for $159,500. (The Magnum P.I. Dino was at auction, expecting to fetch $150,000 to $250,000).

Leicaman

Death Hits the Jackpot - S11-E1

Continuity mistake: After Lamarr takes off Freddy's undershirt we see the level of the water in the bathtub. Then he drags Freddy over to the tub and breaks his watch. At that time the water level is lower than it was before, even though the water was still running.

Leicaman

Season 10 generally

Trivia: In episode 10-3 the murderer smokes "Victory" brand cigarettes. In episode 10-2 the victim smokes "Victory." I have a suspicion that "Victory" cigarettes would be the only brand seen in any episode.

Leicaman

Death Hits the Jackpot - S11-E1

Trivia: Freddy's fake watch is a "Le Sur 2600." It has a day window across the 12 position (like a Rolex Day-Date), but it does not display a day.

Leicaman

Columbo and the Murder of a Rock Star - S10-E3

Factual error: Champagne corks have a metal cap between the cork and the wire cage. (They can be seen when both Creighton and Columbo open bottles.) When Creighton injects the chloral hydrate into the champagne, he does not have the difficulty he should have getting through the metal. The needle does not come out damaged as it should, and it did not go far enough into the cork to put the liquid into the champagne-it would get lost in the cork itself.
