Columbo S10E7 “It's All in the Game” (1993)

(Plastic) fern spotted at 1:19, in this episode written by Peter Falk himself.

Bonus plant: Columbo with this big ivy, etc.

Columbo S10E12 “Ashes to Ashes” (1998)

(Fake) fern spotted very early, at 0:12! This Patrick McGoohan joint (yes, he directed and starred in another one) is off to a decent start, and it's uphill from here.

For one, we get Columbo mother-henning this wrinkly puppy.

We get some nice bonus plants: a maidenhair fern and a majestic palm.

Finally, the ultimate combo, around 54:30.
