I’ve always wondered if Mariette Hartley got away with being an accomplice-after-the-fact. If so, why? Did Columbo take a special liking to her, the way he did with Claudia Christian?
I would be interested in seeing Dr. Strangelove matched up against Red Cloak from “Eyes Wide Shut.” I would probably pay admission to see that.
Unless he makes a wrong turn in Albuquerque and ends up in Sing-Sing.
The Cisco Kid and Pancho might be as good as The Lone Ranger and Tonto in bringing down bad guys, but they seem to have a lot more fun doing it!
Jack Sparrow vs Jack Skellington in a Jack off…
Newton from The Mighty Hercules vs. the Shark from Jaws
Sure, Hercules versus the shark would be a more evenly matched fight—but, as a kid, I didn’t just dislike Newton… I despised that double-talking centaur know-it-all. “Herc, Herc!”—yeah, yeah, we heard you the first time, ya cloven-hoofed idiot! He’d make a nice snack for Bruce the shark.
In fact, I’d chop up his annoying tiny flute-playing centaur buddy, Zeus, and scoop him overboard as chum to attract the shark.
Fun Fact: “Gidget” is a contraction of “Girl Midget,” which is what his father called her.

Jack Sparrow vs Jack Skellington in a Jack off…
I hope you performed a fist pump when you typed that.
No exceptions, no exemptions.
Someone should do a count of how many times Tara slept through, fucked up, or was endangered, kidnapped, or simply not seen in an episode.
Roland Deschain of Gilead vs The Stanger (High Plains Drifter). Both pretty good with the shooting irons, and both kind of supernatural.
Several comparisons have been made between the Munsters and the Addams Family, but how about vamp vs. vamp – Grandpa Munster vs. any one of the ‘What We Do in the Shodows’ vampires? I’ll nominate Lazlo, since he and Grandpa are both amateur scientists, so are probably about equal in the cleverness department. Both can turn into bats at will.
I’d give the edge to Lazlo, because although both characters’ personas are generally goofy, Lazlo and the other WWDitS vampires have on occasion shown flashes of terrifying powers and casual violence-- against humans and fellow vampires alike. I don’t think Grandpa would stand a chance.
Wallace B Binghampton and Elroy Carpenter might have been as bumbling as Wilhelm Klink and Hans Schultz, but the Captain was a lot more ill-tempered than the Colonel.
I’d give the edge to Lazlo
Not if it was a drag race.
Got me there.
I believe the fan theory that Columbo is psychic and knows with 100% certainty from the very start who is the killer - the rest of the show is just a game in which he wears them down and gets them to confess.
Bugs is indestructible and always wins once you’ve pissed him off enough and he comes for you. One way or another, Bugs will outsmart his opponent and humiliate them. Every time.
