Columbo was one of the greatest TV characters of all time because of this
man. Anybody else would have turned it into a snooze fest. (What, we get
to see the murder? Where's the mystery in that?) But he made the solving
an adventure that was never equaled by any other detective show.

Peter...you will be sorely missed.

One of the absolute best shows of all time. Disarmingly charming detective work at its finest.

I knew he wasn't doing well for quite some time, but it's still a sad day.

There should be a nice Peugeot and Basset Hound waiting for him on the other side.

R.I.P.

I LOVED that show! It was *****THE***** best I have seen, and I have seen MANY! Throw out the acting, the character, the general knowledge, unusual things, like the odd car, and the fact that he looked like some idiot bum so the police thought he was an outsider, and the criminals figured he would never find out ANYTHING, and you STILL have the studying, learning, and tying it to a seemingly unsolvable case that gets solved LEGITIMATELY! MOST other movies, in it's genre, are LAUGHABLY predictable, and most of the remainder are not legitimately solved.

DESPITE the good script, props, etc... Falk seemed oddly REAL. He just slid into the part.

Steve

That's bad news...one of my favorite characters ever...

Sooo many good movies and of course Columbo...seen every one..

The original In Laws...."Serpentine Shelly. Serpentine! "

Had to do it one more time...long story...

"Ahhhh... just one more t'ing"...

Rest In Peace Pete.

Never be another one like you..

RIP Peter Falk

All respect for the dead etc., but this is the OT forum where there is 'always one' who disagrees on some small technicality, whether semantics, or whatever.

I couldn't stand Columbo. He always looked like he needed a bath. He always repeated himself.

I guess Peter Falk was a pretty good actor because he made my skin crawl.

I just saw him in something or other and he was very old and still working.

He lived a long life...

Oh, no! This is so sad. I absolutely love his acting, and from the few live appearances I've seen, quite a likable character in real life. Ah, Columbo - yes. The winning detective series of all time - he even beats out Perry Mason who I admired in my youth. Always wanted to be Della.

You are right - he probably DOES have a lovable Basset Hound waiting for him. That'd be nice.

Does this mean TV programmers will bring back the Columbo series? I've been hoping and waiting for a few years now, but I certainly didn't want it to happen this way.

I'll be keeping my eyes open, because you can be sure we'll at least be seeing a burst of his movies on TV - TCM - Turner Classic Movies, perhaps.

Dirk Benedict (Templeton "Faceman" Peck on The A-Team) has played him recently on stage, so there is hope.

The main article on Columbo is quite interesting as well.

Thanks Michael.

The series was running about 2 years ago on Vision TV (do you get that station in the US?). They alternated Murder She Wrote, McCloud and Columbo for quite a while. Then, they dropped McCloud. Then, they dropped Columbo. Murder She Wrote is currently on some sort of sabbatical - didn't have time to read the whole message - but she's supposed to be coming back. I'm hoping they'll intersperse Columbo then. I'll just have to wait and see. Maybe a note to the office is in order.

One thing that always intrigued me about Columbo was that he often seemed stumped - like he'd made a mistake and you're sure he's going to have to do some backtracking. If he does, you never can tell. Actually, I think there was one episode where he DID make a mistake, but soon recovered, of course. I remember it because I seem to recall him talking to his Basset Hound about his disbelief.

What WAS that dog's name anyway... Dog? Seems to me he couldn't think of a name for it.

This wasn't that far back - less than 10 years ago they ran - McCloud, Columbo and Murder She Wrote.

Also... per my last comment - yes, I see in the bio at Wikipedia that the dog was referred to as Dog because he couldn't find a suitable name.

Great bio, BTW - so much detail. Who would have thought the writers would go into such detail about Columbo's background. Amazing.

Murder she wrote was a relative newcomer. It wasn't around when columbo started.

Part of columbos charm was that he DID seem to be just a guy that didn't seem to be that capable. You are really left wondering if he was confused about something, or was just VERY smart.

In one episode, someone kills his BOSSES wife, as I recall. and his boss tries to frame another guy. His bios made a deal with another guy, NOT the ex felon I just aluded to, that they would each kill the others wife, as I recall. Columbo realizes that this guy seems decent, so he tries a TRICK! He waits.... Eventually, his boss searches the guys home, and finds the murder weapon! Sounds open and shut! Columbo happens to be there, asks the manager who lives there, and the manager says "YOU DO. You just moved in!" So NOW they have to believe one of two things:

1. He tried VERY hard to hang himself, by changing police records, etc...
2. One of them PLANTED the evidence!

Anyway, Columbo finds the murderer, saves the ex-felon, and just goes off his merry way!

True. Columbo was in the 70s and Murder She Wrote was in the 80s. Someone suggested Columbo was in the 60s, but I don't recall seeing him that early. According to the bio in the link above, it looks like the series ran from 1971 to 1978, based on a TV movie of 1968.

Going back to the 4-day series from that period, was the A-Team one of them?

Oh, I think I know. What was the show with Tom Selleck in his beach home and those sexy short-shorts? Magnum PI. I think that was the 4th show. It was from that era.

The A-team was even LATER, and wasn't in the Genre anyway. So NOPE, the Ateam wasn't there. I don't remember Magnum PI being there either. You are in canada, so a lot of things here may be repackaged anyway.

Yeah, you're probably right. Magnum PI didn't start until 1980.

ROCKFORD FILES! That was it.

Wasn't it? That was in 1974 - 1980. It, too, was one of Stephen Cannell's productions. He also did Murder She Wrote. Don't know about Columbo. MSW was his first success.

If you're talking about the mystery shows round robin, it was...

Columbo
McMillan and Wife
McCloud
Banacek (sp?)

That's probably where you got A-Team from because George Pappard was in
both.

Hope this clears up the confusion.

For awhile there I was seeing his name on practically every show I watched.

As far as figuring out the shows of that era, I try to check the copyright dates at the end of the shows but they run by so fast sometimes. Being in Canada, we don't always get the shows when they first come out, so checking this date is helpful, which is why I know that Rockford, Columbo, McMillan and Wife, and McCloud were all around the same time. I still think Rockford was the fourth show during that period because I never really liked Banacek and seldom watched it. Didn't care much for McCloud either, but really enjoyed the other 3.

In the 90s, they alternated McCloud, Columbo and Murder She Wrote, as I said above.

Sylvia

Yeah, that is the deal I was talking about!

Columbo
Macmillian and Wife
Mccloud

And I think there were 1 or 2 others. PROBABLY 2, because I think it ran the WHOLE week like that so that EACH show got shown once per week on the same day.

You could be right...But I seem to recall that there were 4 shows, with each running once a week, so Columbo would have been on only once a month when it first came out.

Again, I'm not sure at all...Just going off of 40 year old memories...But either way, there seems to be at least one missing show.

Your right Kurt, but they were added later NBC Mystery Movie. Columbo

Banacek was one and Madigan. I didn't like when they did that, because all I wanted to watch was Columbo. Really loved that show.

As with most, Columbo was my favorite too...But at the time I was living in New Mexico and Dennis Weaver is like a King in NM (he's from there), so Mccloud was very popular there.

Yeah, I took a memory course once, they lady REALLY seemed to know what she was talking about. She spoke of how memories tend to summarize as a sort of fact of life. I USED to be able to LITERALLY quote "BOOK, chapter and verse" where I learned something, and NOW I have trouble with MOVIES. 8-(

If I were doing a police job, like columbo, I would LOVE to be JUST like columbo. If you come across as fastidious, or intelligent, people may clam up, etc... But with a character like columbo, people would really think they had it made. A couple times he was up against people that fancied themselves geniuses, and they just fell ito his trap. And repeating himself was almost a trademark. For columbo, they keep saying, for YEARS, that " Sir, just one more question" was a catchphrase.

Don't be so sure. A lot of people would love to watch Columbo repeats, especially (sad to say) now that Mr. Falk has left us.

The money comes from the advertisers, and they pay based on viewership. My guess is that they could pick up quite a few sponsors.

I was aloways hoping for reruns! There used to be a like movie of the week sort of thing. I forget the name. Anyway, it had about 5 series running in round robin sort of form. Most were what I might consider DECENT, but I LOVED it when they showed COLUMBO! I thought they were STUPID for not pushing that to the end. You know, they EVEN tried a Mrs. Columbo? I don't think that worked out very well.

Yep. And she was played by the future Captain Janeway herself, Kate Mulgrew. It was years ago that I saw one of them, but I think her first name was also Kate in the show.

The show was considered a flop and the original show did what it could to distance itself from it. So much so that they changed the name of the spinoff a few times, and eventually ALL traces of any connection to Columbo were removed.

All the best,
Michael

If you've got satellite or cable, you'll find that Columbo re-runs are always popping up on daytime TV.
