Pretty good episode. Gloria is not a good speaker but its definitely the black Florida accent I've heard before.

Was Jerry C banging the airline worker? Looks like she used to be hot back in the day. Jerry's wife wasn't bad looking either in the 90s..

Seriously. Did we find out anything at all in that third episode? Move on.

I was a little nervous they’d frick it up by stretching it out to six episodes. The scandal is wild but it’s not compelling enough for six segments

If I didn’t watch this episode would I be very out of the Mcloop?

Sounds like I can save myself 50 minutes by not watching episode 3

Didnt Columbos wife go apeshit and threaten to go to the feds ?

Then Uncle Jerry asked her to marry him?

Watching episode 3 now.


Really takes some of the bite away when all the interviews for the former winners are taking place in massive houses


Also there’s no way Jerry Columbos wife in 1997 ever said “women of color” if you know what I mean

All of them except Columbos wife who looks like she lives on Carlotta Street near LSU.

There is a direct correlation between air time of Doug and interest level of an episode. Still watching but after Episode 1, it's become a major snoozefest.

MOOOOOAAARRRRR DOUG! /no homo

Columbo’s wife looks perpetually terrified of him saying something stupid to bust them for some other frickery they’re involved in.

This is true of almost every series, movie or show, whether documentary or fiction.

The show makers get all of this footage and just HAVE to use it. They need to edit and tighten that shite up. It's not a jam band production.

Not only that, you gotta worry about them telling you something like "Oh, you got people in New Orleans? I'll pay for your flight there if you drop off a package for me."
Or "Instead of giving me half of your winnings, I want 60%"

I’m amazing Uncle Jerry was only getting 50k when he was the one actually doing this whole thing.

I wonder if the blonde ever got paid. Would be some shite if she just has to pay 50k in taxes from this whole thing

Yep. After Ep. 3 I went online and read all the details. Doubt I'll watch the rest.

I literally did the same thing.


Also spoilers










For dramatic effect they aren't being too clear on timelines IMO. Especially with the gloria interview and the incident that happened to end the last episode.



Also episode 3 was definitely intended to make the viewer feel bad for gloria. I do not feel bad for gloria.
