Columbo would do what he does all the time: figure out the murder in ten
minutes, bug the murderer until I and all my friends watching are begging
to see Columbo get socked in the face, and then produce a clue nearly out
of thin air and nail the guy.

Columbo used to be charming. Now he's annoying. Falk beat out MacLachlan,
IMHO, solely because the Academy feared that this was the last time they
would get the chance to give the great Peter Falk an Emmy.

This is my last comment on why I don't like Columbo. I don't believe such
a thread is appropriate on this group.
