Wissenswertes
The depicted home of Fielding Chase was owned by Linda Thompson. It sold in 2005 for $22 million.

Patzer
Radio commentator Fielding Chase wears a pencil-thin moustache, so wispy and light that it's barely visible even in most close-ups, except while he is talking to Columbo at the murder scene, when the moustache is suddenly, dramatically darker brown.

Zitate
Fielding Chase: Yes, Lieutenant, there's always one more thing. Do you have a problem with short term memory? Perhaps you should consult a physician.

"Butterfly in Shades of Grey" (1994)

PLOT: A controversial radio-show host (William Shatner) murders a former member of his staff, a gay man, who was about to whisk his beloved foster daughter off to New York City to become a novelist (Molly Hagan).

COMMENTARY: This episode is superior to Shatner's first appearance on Columbo, "Fade in to Murder" (1976); of course the story & characters are totally different, except for our beloved disheveled detective. As usual, Shatner is entertaining as he hams it up in the role of the semi-shock jock.

There's a priceless sequence where Columbo shows-up on the set of a soap opera and is mistaken for an actor playing a homeless man enlisted for the shoot. There's also a compelling on-air bit involving a senator rudely confronted with his wayward past. I must say, the radio host's mansion in the mountains of Malibu is magnificent.

GRADE: B
