Season 2 Episode 4:  “Columbo” Dagger of the Mind (TV Episode 1972) This episode was directed by Richard Quine, and written by Jackson Gillis, WIlliam Link and Richard Levinson.  The 3 best outfits in this episode are: 1) Lillian Stanhope’s white feather gown:     This outfit is nothing short of angelic. An angelic swan. White turtleneck slinky gown with big feather cuffed sleeves and a feather ring around the waist. Is that an angel?      The ultimate belle of the ball:        2) Lillian’s yellow blouse under a black dress:      The blouse has puffed sleeves with tie cuffs, and the high neck with the long thin slit gives the illusion of cleavage.  When styled under a black dress it gives a most dramatic look:       3) Tie between two Extras’ outfits, first the Londoner with the pear sweater:  This looks like a navy blue wool or acrylic knit Henley 4-button neckline sweater with contrast red sleeves, green piping around the neck yoke, and an adorable yellow pear on front. We love this

Dugan, William Link and Richard Levinson.  The 3 best outfits in this episode are:  1)  The teams and crowds:  The team-issued Rockets football apparel is fresh - Coach Rizzo sports a fire engine red blazer with Rockets pocket insignia, and the other coach has a nice baseball cap, Rockets windbreaker, and a heathered gray athletic tee peeking out:       Also love the Lakers basketball players in purple and gold stripe trim tank tops, yellow silky short shorts, and blue and white striped track pants:         Long-time NBA player, coach, and executive Pat Riley was there in a plain white tee and red silky short-shorts, plus giant mustache:         And finally the football fans in the crowd as Hanlon walks by in his Ding-a-Ling Ice Cream costume and Adidas Stan Smith sneakers - they’re all basic yet stylish in supremely colorful slacks and button downs
