i love this series. peter falk really found a home in the character.
it had this interesting schtick where the murder is quite obvious, often occurring during the opening credits. the guest star of the week attempting to pull of some perfect murder and then columbo seemingly stumbling around them attempting to solve it.
each episode wasnt about who did it, or how they did it… it was all about the mistake made that would lead columbo to the truth
columbo deserves a reboot, or at least something columbo-like. are there any shows with a similar format?
anyone have any fond memories of columbo?
I dimly remember most of the episodes was just Columbo being annoying to the suspect until they gave up some clue to the motive of the crime. It was a funny, if somewhat predictable, gimmick.
