* On ''Series/FireCountry'' Season 2, a bag of drug money is dumped over the prison camp with a prisoner then running off. Cop Mickey Fox helps out with her boss killed and a wounded deputy saying it was the escaped con. Later, Mickey's sister Sharon brings in a few thousand dollars in cash one convict had pocketed but then returned. Counting up the money, it hits Mickey that when interrogating the helicopter pilot, that deputy had said, "You just fly around with a bag of $50,000," when the actual amount found on the scene was only $43,000. Mickey thus realizes the deputy is in on the whole thing and killed the sheriff himself.

** In "Negative Reaction", [[Creator/DickVanDyke Paul Galesko]] incriminates himself by grabbing the incriminating camera used to take pictures of his wife. Columbo [[CorrectionBait intentionally mirrored a copy]] of a photo which also mirrors the clock in the shot in order to troll Paul on his alibi. The mistake is that Paul grabs the correct one right away, instead of mistakenly grabbing a different one from a shelf full of cameras.
