Columbo is an American detective mystery television film series (1968-1978 and 1989-2003), starring Peter Falk as Columbo, a homicide detective with the Los Angeles Police Department. It ran for ten seasons and a total of 69 episodes.
Variety columnist Howard Prouty wrote "The joy of all this is watching Columbo disassemble the fiendishly clever cover stories of the loathsome rats who consider themselves his better."
