Columbo is an American crime fiction television film series, which starred Peter Falk as Lieutenant Columbo,
a homicide detective with the Los Angeles Police Department. The character and television show were created
by William Link and Richard Levinson. The show popularized the inverted detective story format.
With the exception of a few special episodes, almost every episode began by showing the commission of the
crime and its perpetrator. Therefore, there is no "whodunit" element. The plot mainly revolves around how
the perpetrator, whose identity is already known to the audience, will finally be caught and exposed by
Columbo Lt. Columbo is a friendly, verbose, disheveled-looking, Police detective (of Italian descent)
who is consistently underestimated by his suspects, who are initially both reassured and distracted by his
circumstantial speech and increasingly irritating pestering behavior. Despite his unprepossessing appearance
and apparent absentmindedness, he shrewdly solves all of his cases and secures all evidence needed for
indictment. His formidable eye for detail and meticulous and dedicated approach become apparent only late in
the storyline The character first appeared in a 1960 episode of the television-anthology series
The Chevy Mystery Show, which was itself partly derived from a short story by Levinson and Link published in
an issue of the Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine as "Dear Corpus Delicti". Levinson and Link adapted the
TV drama into the stage play Prescription Murder, and a TV-movie based on the play was broadcast in 1968.
The series began on a Wednesday presentation of the "NBC Mystery Movie" rotation: McCloud, McMillan & Wife,
and other whodunits. After one season, the series moved as a group to Sundays and were replaced on Wednesdays
by a series with a similar format with fare such as The Snoop Sisters, Cool Million, and Banacek.
Columbo aired regularly from 1971 & 78 on NBC, and then less frequently on ABC beginning in 1989.
The final episode was broadcast in 2003 The episodes are all movie-length, between 70 and 100 minutes long.
The early episodes ran for an hour, until the decision was made to expand them to full television movie-length.
The series had been broadcasted on over 80 networks, within more than 42 countries. On October 2, 2011,
reruns of Columbo began airing Sunday evenings on the classic television network Me-TV In 1997,
"Murder by the Book" was ranked No. 16 on TV Guide's 100 Greatest Episodes of All Time.and in 1999,
the magazine ranked Lt. Columbo No. 7 on its 50 Greatest TV Characters of All Time list
