This episode is charming and a breeze to get through. It has plenty of Columbo and even a return appearance of his trusty Bassett hound. It is however a bit campy with the robot boy genius duo. I also think of all of Columbo's means of getting confessions, this one would hold up the least in court. Staging a frame-up against the confessed party's son would be thrown out on court and Columbo would be lucky to be on leave.

Well I liked the robot - and the 1970s wargames. Very retro.

Columbo versus Robby the Robot! That's great, though the solution is lacking. That last shot, though. That's great stuff.

Unforgiveably bad early Columbo featuring Robby the Robot as an accessory to murder. Ironically the head of the think tank (jose Ferrer) also happens to be one of the stupidest murderers Columbo's ever dealt with. To counter, Columbo's solution to entrapping the killer is equally stupid.

Fairly mundane Columbo.
