#and theres no peggy in s1 so what is the point

[eros-cestlavie]

columbo bitches i am begging you to get into mannix (1967) we got:

same creators as columbo + the guy who made mission impossible + lucille ball fixing the show in season 2

mannix: a crumply lil bitch of a man who is constantly being beaten up, rolling around in dirt, etc.

PEGGY my beloved who is his assistant and is witty and smart and has great clothes (and also was one of the earliest recurring black female characters on us tv alongside uhura, which is cool)

cool car chases/cars improbably bursting into flames while in midair (very good), lots of gunfights and people doing that weird 60s move of chopping someone in the shoulder to knock them out (always fun)

clever murder mystery/crime plots as expected from mr and mr columbo

truly 60s nonsense like weirdly long scenes and dramatic zooms, the works (im waiting for a weird trip sequence thats like a minute too long and looking forward to it)

its great fun and very stupid, and although mr mannix is not as cute as peter falk he's still extremely good and very punchable, does a great job being held up at gunpoint and just looking kind of annoyed about it

in conclusion: peggy 💖
