When Dr. Marshall Cahill (Jose Ferrer) murders a colleague to protect his plagiarizing son, he begins the machinations of "Mind Over Mayhem" (1974), in which Columbo rubs elbows with think tank scientists, a boy genius, a robot, and, of course, Dog. Is this one a stroke of genius? Or does it it belong in the back catalog of the idiot box. Listen in and find out what Steve and Sean think!
