MINUTIAE MONDAY - CREDITED IN-JOKE


LT. COLUMBO:
Anyway, I spoke to your arranger.
TOMMY BROWN:
Nick Solacanto
LT. COLUMBO:
Yeah, that's him.
'COLUMBO'
"SWAN SONG"

This is an in-joke.  The arranger's last name, when rearranged, spells out "Colasanto". 


Many of you will remember Nick Colasanto as Coach Ernie Pantusso on 'Cheers'.  But he was also a director and he directed this episode of 'Columbo'.


BCnU!
