Season 4, Episode 4, Columbo - Troubled Waters (1975)
 
This episode was directed by Ben Gazzara, and written by William Driskill, Jackson Gillis, and Richard Levinson.
 
The cruise ship episode! Volare! Cantare! The three best outfits in this episode are: 
 
1) Rosanna Wells' white chiffon robe



Looks like a matching halter bikini and skirt with sheer white chiffon robe that's delicately painted



 Sweet for a soon-to-be assailed blackmailer with the voice of an angel.
 

 
2) Sylvia Danziger's horse blouse: 
 

 
She's up on the super windy pool deck wearing an ivory butterfly collar button down shirt with small horse and rider pattern all over and larger equestrians here and there: 
 

 
This is the intersection of Preppy Street and Disco Avenue at Psychedelic Plaza. 



 
3) Hayden Danziger's white suit with red shirt



He's wearing a bold geometric pattern ascot and white full-on leisure suit



Perfect 1975 cruisewear slash murderwear:


Bonus points for fashion go out to Lieutenant Columbo sporting a brown and white polyester Hawaiian aloha shirt: 



This is his signature color, brown. He looks stylish and happy


 
Bonus points for fashion also awarded to the Beach Bum in a Speedo and a band-aid on the shuffleboard deck: 


 
 
 And for Hayden's primary stripe cabana shirt lined with white terry cloth: 



 
And finally for Rosanna Wells' red lace robe gown over silver sequined tap pants: 



 
Bonus points for group fashion go out to the merry-makers at the costume party in the ballroom
 

 
 
 
The funniest lines in this episode are when a seasick Columbo says he thought he was gonna die in a motel with a waterbed:




And this was a clever line about gloves offhand:

Season 5, Episode 6, Columbo - Last Salute to the Commodore (1976)

 Season 5, Episode 6, Columbo - Last Salute to the Commodore (1976)     This episode was directed by Patrick McGoohan, and written by Jackson Gillis, Richard Levinson, and William Link.   Some people really do not like this episode but it's one of our very favorites. The best way to view this episode is as if everyone involved from writing to directing to every actor and extra - is high on hallucinogenic drugs at almost all times. Some of them are really tripping. Maybe it's just alcohol, but it seems like they're tripping on mushrooms. Columbo invades the personal space of every person he comes across, sometimes several times. It's a psychedelic journey of hilarity. It is the episode from whence the banner photo of this very blog sprang: 1) And this is the best outfit in this episode. Lisa King, naval architect, bedecked in denim flare jeans and a space dye turtleneck sweater with an equestrian ranch landscape motif. It's trippy. And Columbo is tripping.   We will
