Tonight in 1968 — Peter Falk made his debut as COLUMBO in PRESCRIPTION: MURDER on NBC.
He would play the character for 35 years.
“He was perfect,” co-creator William Link said. "And then he got better.”

“Oh, just one more thing…”
That name rings a bell… He played the grandpa in The Princess Bride, right?
Yes
Wow, I never realized that is Columbo! Cool!
I just started watching Columbo in December, started with season 1 episode 1.
It’s quite entertaining.
Misread and thought you delivered a punchline, “started watching and ended with season 1 episode 1”.
He looks like Chris Pratt
Ok… honestly for a second I was like… what!? 35 years… Although it is true the character was used during 35 years, the show was not running all those years. There were gaps, like a 11 year gap between season 7 and 8 and some specials here and there on the last years.
I mean the text doesn’t imply that but for a second I thought there was more show than I thought.
It has 10 seasons and some are like 3 episodes. In total it seems it were 69 episodes, and that takes into account specials.
each one is like a movie though.
He looks 12 years old.
Maybe 1968 his car was new.
Just how we know him, with his cigars and his smart phone.
Lol, that’s a notepad.
Couldn’t have been done anyone else.
But that doesn’t mean that I don’t like Natasha Lyonne’s take on the meta.
And like that Belarusian journalist
