Guillermo

the brilliance of Colombo was he never let on to anyone that he was the smartest guy in the room.. a good life lesson

Lusk II, look for the episodes with Jack Cassidy.. David and Shaun's father.. as the villain.. they are the best

Francis. In Falk's memoire Just One More Thing (a great read, btw) Peter refers acknowledges the character's name as Francis [Frank], but that may be refering to production or script detail.

Luckily I'd seen this mentioned before, but I still had to guess the name. I "think" on the cruise ship murder episode there may have been a brief shot of his wife's back as she was leaving the ship in the final scene. There were other passengers, so maybe you couldn't tell which one he was pointing to. That would have technically been an appearance - if you stretch it.

Guillermo, Those were very good, though I'd go for a couple with Patrick McGoohan [spelling?], who also directed some episodes.

RockNRollMama82, funny u should say that!! My uncle looked like Peter Falk, too! He had brown hair, and brown eyes, and parted his hair, I think the same way, too!

Player #23207465, this show brings back great, fond memories. My mother and I would watch their marathons of Colbo together with popcorn and Coke or other foods! The main thing is we were spending Quality Time Together!! Now, they're both gone. RIP, Columbo, and Mother, dear. May u both be in God's memory. That way, He can resurrect u both in the New Order.

Quiet guy, rather diffident, always in a wrinkled trenchcoat - not one's idea of a razor-sharp detective. But he was!

Ktkk yes there was. I never missed an episode of Columbia, but I see now I did miss my chances to learn his first name

Terri

Peter Falk’s wife played in a few earlier episodes. She’s really pretty. And he was pretty good looking himself especially when he was young.

RockNRollMama82, Peter Falk seemed to have crossed eyes but in reality he had a glass eye.👍🏻

Melode

peterfalks eye was glass. he was a very able but funny detective. I always enjoyed that show.he made you think he was clueless. but he usually got it I. the end and the guilty party was surprised.

See him in an early episode of the twilight zone

Ktkk, Yes, and Mrs. Colombo was played by none other than Kate Mulgrew. Star Trek fans know her as Captain Kathryn Janeway on the series Star Trek Voyager.
