If you've got a murder to solve, call Columbo — despite that rate coat he wore and the piece-of-junk car he drove.

If you've got a world to save, call Johnny Jupiter, who will do the job for free . . . with no strings attached.

But first, here's a word from our sponsor!

Columbo (1971)
________________________________

I watched a Columbo episode on MeTV recently in which Vera Miles played a rich, ruthless, middle-aged woman who ran a successful cosmetics company.

She was competing with another company owned by Vincent Price, and she desperately needed a new product to boost sales and get her company out of financial difficulty.

A brilliant-but-arrogant young chemist (played by Martin Sheen) develops a cream that quickly removes facial wrinkles in minutes, and the effect lasts for hours! The cream is an extract from plant cells.

In other words . . . it's Genucel . . . forty years before the new miracle product actually appeared on today's market!

I watched the episode with wide-eyed wonder, because this crime drama from the 1970s had actually predicted a modern-day cure for old ladies who desperately want to smooth out their aging faces!

I just couldn't resist Brewterizing the link for that wonderful children's program which Phantom shared with us. After all, people are more tempted to click on links like that if it includes a few bells and whistles!

My favorite science show from the 1950s was Mr. Wizard! The YouTube videos of that show seem to have been filmed in color, even though they were broadcast in B&W.
