Where To Watch

17/20! i love this guy
If you've never seen the movie, "The Inlaws", with Peter Falk, and Alan Arkin, you should. It's hysterical.
A lot of my answers were when I touched the screen to advance. I was looking for the Waltons quiz
16 out of 20 not bad, but I thought I would have done better
16/20. I did better than I thought I would. Not a big Columbo or Falk fan.
20/20 Peter Falk was good on Robin and the 7 Hoods movie, always good in his acting rolls, JUST ONE MORE THING, SIR OR MADAM. PLEASE.....
If you've never seen him in Griffin and Phoenix, you should.
You got 11 out of 20
Not too shabby LOL
Not too shabby LOL
18/20! missed 3 & 18!
My Favorite Peter Falk Character besides Colombo was Sam Diamond in Murder By Death. One of my favorite lines in the Movie, " I knew I was being invited to Dinner, but I didn't know I was going to me the Main Course".
the nurse is giving my palm the finger - the dirty old broad !
Well, I'm sure you knew he played the same character in The Cheap Detective, a parody of Bogie movies!
I agree. His character was hilarious.

Just one more thing
I only missed one question and it's a good thing I have a DVD set of Columbo.
11/20. Not so good. He was funny in "The Great Race" with Tony and Jack.
Curtis & Lemmon and don't forget Natalie Wood! Fun Fact: Vivian Vance is also in it!
Wow! How could I forget Natalie! I do remember Viv! 😉😄
15/20 Not too bad.
10/20 All guesses. I loved Eddie Anderson and him as cabbies in "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World." Never watched him in anything else. Speaking of Eddie, the Jack Benny Show would be a great addition to the lineup.
I so agree with your whole post!
"The Jack Benny Program" does air on Antenna TV, if you receive that channel. However, it's currently on only at 11p Saturdays (PDT).
That's 2 AM Eastern, and I record it every week!
11/20, and every one was a guess except for #16.
15/20, not as clued in as I thought I’d be.
You got 16 out of 20
