Love one of the opening shots to his episode of Columbo where you're looking at what appears to be an aerial shot of Los Angeles before the camera begins to pull back, and back, and back revealing itself to be in the office of a writer as he types away on his typewriter. Always stuck with me!

The very first episode of Columbo in fact.

Yea, the first regular episode. Preceded by a pilot, Ransom for a Dead Man, and a few years earlier we had Columbo in Prescription: Murder(which saw a slightly different characterization of Columbo and features a rare instance of the character getting fired up and yelling at a suspect!).
