Rare gotta cruise again Posted September 27, 2020 #2 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I had gone looking for this episode when it was previously mentioned in another CC thread, hoping I had MeTv via antenna...alas, no. However, I did initiate a search and found it is also going to be on Sundance HD on October 7th at 1145am - 2pm Central. “Troubled Waters” was in season 4 and episode 4. It was first aired on 2/9/75. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billco Posted September 27, 2020 #3 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I watched part of it on IMDb last night. Too silly to stay with for long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn’t watch it tonight, but I will see if I can find it elsewhere. (I don’t believe I get Sundance.) I always enjoy watching shows filmed onboard a ship!

mevs904 Posted September 28, 2020 #5 Share Posted September 28, 2020 We watched tonight and found it interesting. As we watched I looked up the ship’s history on Wikipedia. I loved the parts where Colombo kept calling it a boat and the officers kept correcting him and called it a ship. It continued until the very last lines of the show. We’ve always been sensitive to that distinction and feel that a classic vessel like a cruise liner deserves the respect of being called a ship.

caribill Posted September 28, 2020 #6 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I agree with mevs904. Enjoyed watching it. Of course they did not have a realistic portrayal of a band member's cabin which was larger than most passenger cabins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic The Parrot Posted September 28, 2020 #7 Share Posted September 28, 2020 But the passageways were the real deal ... Capri Deck, and the stairtowers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know what IMDb was until I Googled "Columbo Troubled Waters" to see if I could find the show elsewhere than MeTV (antenna only and couldn't get a signal for that channel). The show came up on IMDb TV via Amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1emerald1 Posted September 28, 2020 #9 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I watched it on METV and it brought back memories of how small the old ships used to be. I also enjoyed that it was really filmed on the ship as poor Columbo had no sea legs and was rocking and rolling all over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tak8 Posted September 28, 2020 #10 Share Posted September 28, 2020 It was fun to see the ship. I was curious if the number of passengers they mentioned at the beginning of the show was accurate. Number seemed small even for that ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmjc2 Posted September 28, 2020 #14 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Our Dish tv channels show a METV but it was not on Sunday! We used to get Sundance but do not any longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

METV is usually a subchannel for one of the main channels. For Example: In our area the NBC station is on the air channel 2 (also called 2-1) and cable channel 12. METV is subchannel 2-2 and cable channel 320. So it is possible that your cable service does have METV, just not in an obvious way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for posting this. I really enjoyed watching the show and also found a channel I did not know as a bonus. I love watching old shows and the ME Channel definitely has a lot of them. I found it fascinating that you could hear the hum of the ship in the background something not heard on the Love Boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiserkenn Posted September 29, 2020 #17 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I enjoyed watching this episode of Columbo! Enjoyed seeing the original Sun Princess, too. The original Sun Princess was my first cruise, back in 1988. So fun to see the ship again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted September 29, 2020 #18 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Smoking a cigar everywhere. Nurse smoking in the medical facility. No boarding procedure. A magician using a gun. A passenger being able to bring a gun aboard. Very different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An onboard activity was shooting clay pigeons off the stern with (their provided) shotgun. Yup, different times!
