💡 Did You Know?

This was the highest charting episode of the series, reaching 35th place with 7.6 million viewers. However, the following week the series would be shifted into a Friday night spot, where its ratings fell dramatically.

Fast Friends' Saturday night slot was filled the following week by How to Dial a Murder (1978), an episode that was over 13 years old and had already been screened on the BBC less than a year earlier. Despite this, Columbo did significantly better than Fast Friends, ranked 19th with 9.7 million viewers.
