Uh, yeah, well, one last thing. It just bothers me that the picture of the deceased ...

He was a great actor, and I loved Columbo. I always loved it when he would be talking to the inevitably rich people who were gathered to explain how they couldn't have killed the deceased and he would put his hand absent-mindedly into his pocket. He would pull out a box of raisins or something, and offer some all around. The reactions of the rich accused was delicious ! !
Was Columbo an Aspie before it was cool??

If you watch Mad, Mad, Mad World very carefully, he's a cabby that appears briefly towards the end of that laughfest.

Ditto here. I once calculated that his battered raincoat cost the producers of the show at least $1000 and his beat up rust-bucked of a car $20,000.

RIP Columbo

One of my favorite shows ever.
