Season 3 - Episode 5 - "Publish or Perish"
So I'm sure I've seen this episode once or twice... maybe even only once! I don't remember anything about it. I have to say, the comments on this video are very funny though... people keep making jokes about actor Jack Cassidy's many appearances on Columbo, "How does he keep getting acquitted?!" ROFL! Even the Columbo channel gave that comment a heart. Very groovy of them... even today, Columbo still holds such a magical force. The mere essence of the show is enough to carry on the magic even into the roaring 2020s!
I find that the volume on this episode is rather low.
0:15 LMFAO I thought that guy was barbecuing roflroflrofl.
0:28 looks like he's blowing shit up just for sport.
So what's the deal with this guy?? He's not exactly playing a likable character... right off the bat you can tell he's a smug douche. Do I almost sorta find him attractive anyway?? Almost sorta. But at the same time he kinda creeps me out.

John Davis Chandler.
According to IMDb, this episode has a pretty bitchin' cast...

There's even that Gregory Sierra dude I haven't seen for a hot hot minute.
Who did he play?? Ah yeah, he was Det. Sgt. Chano Amenguale in Barney Miller, one of my all-time favorite TV shows!!!
1:00 would this guy REALLY be able to just nonchalantly hang around a junkyard and blow shit up, ROFL!? Like, isn't this in California?? Even in the 70s, there's people everywhere. Somebody'd notice.
1:20 honestly, this explosives guy is kinda boring. You'd think the truth would be just the opposite, LMAO!
1:45 damn I gotta say, Jack Cassidy is a charming sumbitch! He was legitimately a pretty great actor. He mostly hung out on TV.
3:40 oh dear. Eddie is a simple creature. Check out those hundreds though, money was prettier back then.
4:20 awwwe, he's so naive and crazy. Poor guy.
5:38 ummm, oh my damn... Eileen DOES look gorgeous. My my my... who is this?! I of course recognize her face but no idea what her name is. She's
Mariette Hartley apparently.
5:50 she's crazy hot for sure. Ravishingly beautiful.
7:28 lmfao this is the most uppity, fancypants shit talking I've ever heard.
8:00 did he literally just threaten that guy's life?? LMAO. Well that's not gonna cause any issues in the future or anything?!?
8:45 I'd rather this guy get killed than the other guy, he really is a massive douche. Even pyro dude is more likable than Jack Cassidy's character.
9:30 is he REALLY going to kill the guy whose life he just threatened in the other scene?? And this was PLANNED OUT no less! ROFL! It doesn't even matter if he hired someone else to do, it's still totally obvious that he did it!!!
9:50 LMFAO and this Eddie dude's naive belief that he's just gonna knock this guy off and then be able to share his expertise and love of blowing shit up with the world, scot-free!? ROFLLLL. Simple minds though.
10:00 man this guy's got one hell of a way of planting an alibi, apparently his tactic is to be such a huge douche that no one could possibly forget you were there.
11:30 and this guy's gonna DRIVE?! LMAO... like. He's drunk FOR REAL.
11:50 "Her soft trembling body" roflmfaololololol. Okaaaaayyyyy.
12:15 is he speaking this out loud with a voice recorder?? So this guy is just gonna get caught by the voice recorder then??
12:55 not gonna lie dude, this story is horrible. ROFL.
Again, an instance somebody getting knocked off actually being for the better cuz they're honestly sooo bad at stories. ROFLMFAO.
14:25 they totally should have called the police on that guy.
14:55 oooOooOoooooOooo look at these super sexy guys in white!!!
15:05 LOL I love how much Columbo loves coffee. Coffee and cigars, classic Americana.
15:28 oh wow, look at this crazy sexy dude in the weird tie. Wow he's mega fucking hot!!! Paul Shenar...

21:11 roflrofl Columbo ALREADY comin' for him!!!
27:10 this is actually a pretty good plot.
34:00 ummm, is this fucking guy POINTING at Columbo???
34:50 I love how Columbo gets back at people who get all disrespectful with him... rofl. But he does it so smoothly.
Man I wish there were more full episodes of Columbo on this YouTube channel... watching it for free on Amazon is cool and all, but there are "commercial breaks" and they last for like 90 seconds so I have to mute the sound and sit back until they're over with. Pretty annoying really.
39:50 bahahahahahaha oh shit, this guy is SO caught!!!
41:20 roflmfao this guy's just got a grenade chillin' on the coffee table. I like this guy!
41:35 how the hell can pyro guy not see this coming??
43:17 roflmao those gloves aren't a total give away or anything?!?
45:30 there totally are people like this out there... I've never thought about pyros that much before.
45:40 awww, I feel bad for this dude!!!
46:36 it's obvious the key thing is what's gonna get him caught.
52:00 I honestly love everything about Columbo.
53:50 lmao a monastery, what a load of BS.
54:40 why the hell DID he kill the writer guy???
1:03:40 he's so caught.
1:07:00 bahahahahahahaha I knew it.
1:11:25 this guy has some gorgeous curly hair.
It was a great episode.
