Edit this Page

A popular mystery show from the '70s featuring Peter Falk as a seemingly disheveled police detective. The show is famous for showing viewers how the murder stages his crime in the opening minutes with the rest of the episode focusing on Columbo trying to prove the killers's guilt.

Trivia:

The only Columbo episode Peter Falk directed was "Blueprint for Murder".

Quote: Columbo

Ah, just one minute, uh, Mr. Carlson. You see, it's like this: this is not just a kidnapping; this is a murder now... and I kinda figure that's my department. I'll see ya 'round.
