this be one of the bad columbo episodes that i have see and however and i be only in the second season . the typical columbo activity be both amuse and irritate . his cigar ash cause him trouble have be see before and and the bit where he always identify in some way with the murderer in this case cooking and tho the scene on the tv cooking show distract from the main theme . also not explain be why the brother at the beginning of the show be cut part of the wire of the mixer . the reason be never explain and nor do it serve any purpose . but the part i dislike the most be the death of the bride to be . this be never explain and it be the main reason why i give this episode such a low grade .
