Columbo

I have been binge watching Eight is Enough over the past couple of months and this is the first episode where reference is made to Columbo. Nice touch.

Several other shows have made reference to Columbo in at least one episode: Alice, It's a Living, The Jefferson's, That 70's Show, Monk, Boston Legal, and of course Columbo.

Maybe this was not the best episode of the Eight is Enough series yet it was thoroughly entertaining (no pun intended with respect to the song Let Me Entertain You). The Bradfords are a cute family to follow. I was just a kid during the first run episodes and regrettably did not pay much attention.

One more thing! Very happy ending to this episode.
