Oh I do that all the time watching Columbo with the fam.
You are such a sly dude.
I’ve been rewatching Monk, and something that really struck me is how much of the plot is based on coincidences, and it really makes it easy to pick out the killer. I was watching an episode where Captain Stottlemeyer mentions offhand an unsolved murder at a golf course, and later on someone Monk is talking to has a golfing trophy. Immediately knew it was him because golf had been mentioned twice and this show never wastes a Chekhov’s gun, or tries very hard to misdirect. I remember saying “I don’t know why yet but it’s him.”
I haven’t watched SBSP, so take this with a pinch of salt: Patrick looks like he’s the grown up Bart Simpson under the sea.
Disclaimer: I have seen it many times, but didn’t exactly watch it.
He’s generally dumber and kinder than Bart, but he’s still somewhat mischievous.
Surely, the guy randomly stacking boxes who spouts off a couple inconsequential lines of dialogue will have no bearing on the episode.
“You know for a security guard, he had an awful lot of information. Don’t cha think?”
I hope they bring back that show where the bakers have to guess the cake based on the used ingredients. I’m like Colombo watching that one.
