I loved that Get Smart episode where they tried out the cone of silence, but it didn’t work properly!

Remember that episode of _Columbo_ where the Lt. turns around at the door and says “Oh, I almost forgot. One more question.” ? And then tells the suspect, “No I’m not here about the burglary. I work homicide.”

In one episode of **MacGyver** , our hero got locked in a storage room; he combined some items that happened to be on hand, and – well, I don’t want to spoil it.

How about the one where Perry Mason’s client turned out to be innocent?

Or the one on Numb3rs where Charlie wrote on the blackboard?

It was _Major Crimes_! My favorite. I also like the _Scooby-doo_ where it turns out to be someone in disguise, not something supernatural, and the catch him with a Rube Goldberg machine.

I like the 3rd Rock From The Sun where Dick explains something odd about his family to Mary, and she buys his ridiculous explanation.

Carter could outsmart Schultz. 😃

How about that time on Sanford & Son when Fred faked a heart attack to gain Lamont’s sympathy?

Or that time on the Addams Family when Lurch said, “You rang?”

Or the time on the Simpsons when Homer went “D’oh!”?

Or the time Herman Munster got upset and stomped his feet and plaster fell down from the ceiling?

Or when Fred Flintstone said, “YABBA DABBA DOO!”?

Or the time on Barney Miller when Inspector Luger kept calling Officer Levitt “Levine”?

Or that time on CSI: Miami when Horatio put on his sunglasses and made a wise-ass remark.

Anyone remember that infomercial for that new product? It was the one where the old way of doing things was tedious and took a lot of time, but using the new product was quick and easy.

Anyone?

Hey, Lennie’s smart ass remarks are better than most character’s soliloquies.
