A criminal has to carefully plan how to commit a crime these days if he wants to get away with it. If Columbo policed in today’s heavily surveilled society, the show would last five minutes.

In the very first episode of Columbo rich, well connected, surgeon Gene Berry kills his wife so he can be with his hot, red head girlfriend. Five minutes into the show, Columbo’s superior asks if there are any leads. Columbo says not yet, something will come up. If that episode was written today, Columbo would say sure, the husband did it.

Am I am reading this wrong or are the commas are strategically misplaced?
