I remember Patrick McGoohan in one and the way Columbo would hit his head and say, "One more thing..." You just knew he was figuring it out!! Forgot about Columbo -- I've been watching some of those old movies and there would not be a plot if they'd had cell phones. In "An Affair to Remember," Cary Grant would've called Deborah Kerr when she didn't show up on top of the Empire State Building, and then what plot would there be! I've noticed they're using cell phone now to advantage, not writing around them. But nothing beats Columbo, McMillan and Wife, Barney Miller and the best Barney of all (no, not that dinosaur) -- Barney Fife, Mayberry's finest!! If you want some great TV, then get the first three seasons of "The Andy Griffith Show." He has an episode about Opie and the Birds (Season 4), and it's as poignant as the day it was filmed. Reminds me of the birds underneath your roof. You will not regret watching an old Andy Griffith Show with Barney!Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11687342508453441902noreply@blogger.com
