TVC 581.1: Part 2 of our special roundtable discussion devoted to Columbo featuring Emmy Award-winning writer, producer, director, playwright, and author Joseph Dougherty (thirtysomething, Pretty Little Liars, Saving Grace, Chester Bailey), David Koenig, author of Shooting Columbo: The Lives and Deaths of TV’s Rumpled Detective, writer/producer Dan Farren (Story Salon), and Tony Figueroa of This Week in TV History. Topics this segment include how Southern California was very much a character in and of itself on Columbo; episodes that were either filmed, or at least took place, outside Los Angeles; and Columbo clues that were originally written with one episode in mind, but were eventually used in another. Shooting Columbo is available in hardcover, as an eBook, and as an audiobook through Amazon.com. Joseph Dougherty’s new book, A Screenwriter’s Companion, is now available for pre-order through Amazon.com and Fayetteville Mafia Press.
