Trivia
Third of four appearances by Patrick McGoohan as a murderer in the Columbo series. The other episodes are: By Dawn's Early Light (1974) (as Col. Rumford), Identity Crisis (1975) (as Intelligence agent Nelson Brenner), and Columbo: Ashes to Ashes (1998) (as funeral company owner Eric Prince). Moreover, McGoohan directed this episode.

Errores
Despite the fact that Finch and Mackey have been involved in criminal law for 20 years in Los Angeles, neither has heard of Lt. Columbo. It seems likely that the detective's reputation for busting murderers would have preceded him, and alarmed the suspects, particularly Finch, straight off.

Citas
Lt. Columbo: "There was this Jewish lady walking down Beverly Drive, and coming the other way, this flasher guy in his overcoat. When he gets up to her, he whips open the coat. She looks at him and says, 'You call that a lining?'"

For me this is among the best of the later episodes

Columbo I have always loved, and Agenda for Murder is a perfect showcase as to why. Although it is one of the later episodes, it is an episode that while not quite one of my favourites is just as good as the episodes of the 70s. Columbo has always been well made, and with the striking photography and slick editing, Agenda for Murder is no exception. The dialogue is very crisp and clever, adding so much to the playful and tense tone of the episode, oh and the flasher gag and bird puns are a hoot, and the story never has a dull moment and advantaged further by a totally unexpected ending that even shocks Finch as well as the audience. Peter Falk is wonderful as he consistently is, and Patrick McGoohan deservedly won an Emmy for his very pompous, stern yet very intelligent performance here. The scenes between him and Falk are a joy to behold, some of the most inspired rapport of any Columbo episode in my opinion. All in all, a fine entry to the series and just as good as the episodes of the 70s. 10/10 Bethany Cox
