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'm a big fan. Have rewatched the series a few times in recent years after only catching it randomly as a kid in the 80s. Highly recommend Shooting Columbo if you're interested. Great website too pointing out interesting aspects. https://bonaventurepress.com/SHOOTING-COLUMBO/
