Mentioned in the imdb.com Columbo board, I had to see for myself. But the writing is dreadful, as it leaves tons of stuff unexplained and puts in tons of stuff for no seeming purpose or connection to the plot.
It's always nice to see old heroes still up to par catching the bad-guys, and Peter Falk's lovable Columbo-character surely is one of the biggest heroes from the annals of television history. How in the world Columbo proves Crawford's guilt at the end is a mystery in itself...
What is most frustrating is that for long stretches of this movie, it is actually highly enjoyable, and with the fine acting of the murderer and the directing of the great Columbo contributor Patrick McGoohan, it could easily have been turned into a dandy episode, if only the writing was at more than a B-movie level. And he shows that he was probably pushed … And that he would never have willingly donned the shoes he was wearing when he died. Was this review helpful?
I have to agree with everything that's been written about this episode - it's a bomb. “Murder with Too Many Notes”: Columbo…doesn’t prove anything against the killer. Sadly, this is one of his lesser outings, a fault which lies purely with the disappointing script; although the writers do well to include many of the beloved crime scene clues in this episode, the way the story plays out feels unfocused and more than a little padded. But with evidence for this as vague as the episode itself, it's left for us to decipher the ending of "Murder With Too Many Notes." Want to share IMDb's rating on your own site?
As he starts his show he times the lift to go to the roof, thus opening the panel and flipping Gabriel's comatose body off the roof to his death. However, the plot isn't as strong this time around, the forensics for example as said already is dated and the ending especially was far too abrupt and underdeveloped. Not memorable.

Peter Falk was his usual reliable self and, although he was pretty good, I expected much more from my main man Billy Connolly. I particularly liked how it ended, with the victim's girlfriend showing Columbo how to play the song that had been with the series for so long, "This old man". This is another movie with the typical ending where a person who is capable of committing an almost perfect crime one day surrenders very easily the next day. However he has no intention of letting this happen and instead drugs Gabriel and puts him on the roof (where he usually hangs out) on top of a defunct lift panel. and 'Jaws!' Was this review helpful? Unfortunately this movie also suffers from this. We all agree: No Time To Die is not a favorite. But Lt. Columbo didn’t ride alone. It went on for ages with no significance to furthering the plot whatsoever--more 'filler'! Lullaby Music often is referenced after the victim dies in a tragic fall.

Oh, he proves that the dead guy was drugged. Not THE BOMB, a BOMB.Looking for some great streaming picks?
I remain a huge fan of Columbo reruns and taped what I thought was an original Columbo episode.
I have never seen such an inept script in all my life.

Finally, in the final scene, he re-enacts the murder in a staged childlike manner, bringing up issues that seemingly have no connection to his proof, and offers a final "proof" that is one of the least convincing in Columbo history, yet the murderer smilingly gives up w/o any argument. It was as if it was a show trying to be Columbo and trying way, way too hard. Was this review helpful? This piece of dog excrement makes any episode of The Love Boat seem like Shakespeare by comparison. But what then amazes me is that they set out to produce this god-awful script--these people should know better!

I did not like the ending. Billy Connolly it one of U.K gems so is the Director Patrick McGoohan, all I can make of it, it was a tribute to Peter Falk, as Columbo it is 2000 and bless him, he was getting on, in age but still great, the drive home to the murderer's home was funny, I think there was a bit of Ab-libbing by Connolly there. But once Columbo gets into the story and starts doing his thing, things go rapidly downhill. While I am a big enough fan of the "Columbo" mystery series to be glad enough to have the opportunity to watch any episode, I have to admit that I thought this particular episode was pretty weak stuff. 13 out of 19 found this helpful.
Sooo much more could have been done to make it better, and like a previous reviewer said: even I could have written a better script. Was this review helpful? As many episodes of Columbo as I’ve watched a million times, I do not even remember this dance.
One of the most poorly written, directed and acted television episodes I have ever seen in my life.
