Okay diqtator, I'll put you out of your misery, the answers are: Lee J. Cobb and Bing Crosby.

If you take his role as Lieutenant Kinderman in The Exorcist into account Lee J Cobb would have made a great Columbo. Columbo would have been short lived since both Cobb and Crosby passed away before 1977.
 
What were the only 2 episodes that Columbo solved the case , but did not arrest the murderers?

Answer: "Forgotten Lady" and "It's All In The Game" ( Mother and daughter conspire to kill a 2 timing lover, mother actually kills him, but daughter escapes to europe, never arrested, mother is arrested)
 
Correct!, it was too tight/restricting hence not loose and rumples, he disposed of it by leaving it on bench IIRC.

It also made him itch.

Btw, should you do a Rockford Files trivia, I'll take a pass to allow others to answer - unless there's a dangler that no one gets.
 
I never watched that show, lol

You're shittin me! It has a higher rating than Hill Street Blues. Very well constructed show for its time, fronted by the charismatic James Garner, a must watch. I'm looking to stream it again from the beginning. It's such a good show, I watched it overdubbed in Italian, it was a hoot! Magnum PI was spun off from it.

Gretchen Corbett, the lovely lass in the bikini, was part of The Rockford Files.

She got caught up in several car cashes, the look on her face was priceless. She was either scared shitless or having an orgasm.

James Garner was one of the coolest guys of his era along with Paul Newman, James Coburn and number one Steve McQueen. But I still liked and watched HSB a lot more. It was grittier, had a more realistic cast of characters with issues and more of an ongoing story line. It was more unique for it's era and not as formulaic as RF. Just my oponion.
