When is an experimental variable good?

A experimental variable is good when you are trying to test an
experiment.
A variable may be easily controlled, isolated, and measured.
For instance a difficult experimental variable may be a persons
gender. You can control if a man or woman participates in your
experiment, you may even easily identify which gender they are. But
it may be difficult to determine if the results are due to inherent
genetic differences, or social influence on their lives. that isn't
to say it can't be used, it just is more complicated than a "good"
variable.
A good variable could be something like Height, eye color, etc.
that don't have that confounding aspect.
In summary -
The primary variable should be controllable, where you can
directly manipulate it. The more controllable, the better.
The variable you measure, and the one you control, should be
isolated. You should be able to distinguish it from other
complicating factors.
The variable should be measurable. Some things are easy, such as
height. Others not so easy, such as pain, or opinion. Developing
tools to measure such variables are key.

Asked in Entertainment & Arts
What is Columbo's catchphrase?

"Just one more thing..."
Columbo's catchphrase marked the point at which he'd found his
prime suspect; all that follows is finding the proof.
Columbo would put his quarry at ease by coming across as
harmlessly bumbling, only to baffle them with his wit and wiles.
Getting ready to leave, having given them little to worry about
with a few easy questions at the launch of a new investigation, he
would let them initially shrug him off to enjoy a moment of relief
that their dastardly crime had avoided detection, underestimating
the dull and sloppy-looking detective, he would turn and say "just
one more thing" with a raised finger and an expression of profound
confusion.
At this point, the viewer knew that Columbo was on to the
suspect. From here the killer would be forced to perform all sorts
of contortions with their version of the truth, compelled to
provide explanations for holes in the case, or embellish their
increasingly weakened version of events until they were finally
completely out-witted and hung by their own convolutions.
The Columbo series approached the murder-mystery detective
serial in a different way to most, eschewing the traditional
'whodunnit' format in favour of showing everything to the viewer
from the start of the episode.
Despite knowing who the killer is, the viewer is only truly
informed of the relevance of the killer's actions through Columbo's
insight and his ability to sleuth his way competently to the truth.
Adept at misdirecting his suspects, he sometimes even performs a
little (or large) sleight-of-hand to truly confound them.
