He will be missed.

I'll best remember Johnny Cash for his variety show in the early 70's and his off the wall songs such as "A Boy Named Sue" and "One Piece at a Time"

Rest in Peace John.

I'll best remember Johnny Cash for the San Quentin number.

"I never felt any competition from anybody else. I always did my thing ... the way I felt it, the way I saw it, the way it feels right to me."

Wasn't that the episode where he played a ... country music star? :lol: :lol:

I love Columbo, btw. The older episodes are the best, I think. Peter Falk is still the same, but I think the writing for the later incarnations of the show just weren't up to the old standards. Just my opinion. *shrug*

And your opinion, as usual, is right. Not up to the original at all--too much trying to make Columbo into a character, which really wasn't what the series was about.
