miamijimf Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 The 1990 episode entitled ‘Columbo Cries Wolf’ in season nine of the highly rated TV detective series Columbo has neon decorations clearly copied from Vice: a smaller non-blinking version of the lips in Little Miss Dangerous, a palm tree, flamingo, and six other neon decorations that look like Mr. Neon’s creations.

Daytona74 Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 Although it's not clear if life was imitating art or the other way round What I am saying is, I remember those neon signs being popular from when I was a kid even before "Vice". I guess they were just part of the design vernacular in those days, only that nobody had done them before to the extent that Vice ended up using them. If you get what I mean...

Charles Caleb Colton (1780–1832) was an English cleric, writer and collector, well known for his eccentricities.
