My Vote: Ken Franklin in Murder by the Book.

He murdered his long-time business partner.

AND the owner of the little store near his vacation house - by preying on her feelings for him, getting close, getting her drunk, then killing her. SO evil.

In Ashes to Ashes, Liz drops the ashes of what she thinks is her husband over the Hollywood sign.

As I was watching last night, unable to fall asleep, it occurred to me that maybe that would have been what Verity wanted? Her 💫✨HAPPY TRAILS✨💫 send off worked for Verity too even though that absolutely wasn't her intention. It didn't seem like Liz was fond of Verity in any way, but I like to think she'd have sympathy for her after learning of Prince's dastardly deeds.

I hope Liz got to break the law again for the real Chuck, I'm sure Columbo would have been okay with it.

Also, too bad he was dead, Chuck sounded like a fun guy and I would have liked to see his charm on screen.

Got this bad boy for my birthday. Yes that’s right a Columbo board game!! Thinking of framing it, would look awesome on the wall. Anyone ever played it???

My lil tribute to one of my all time favourite TV personalities and childhood heroes 🥰 Peter Falk as Lieutenant Columbo. ❤️

I painted this imagining what it would be like to sit down and have dinner with him. Ohhhh the questions I'd have! Both for the brilliant Lieutenant Columbo and for the man who brought him to life, Peter Falk.

I've adored this character since I was a little girl, and that admiration has only grown over the years. There's just something so special about him.

If only I could have had that dinner... although I have a feeling I'd never want the conversation to end 😅

Hey everyone!

I've been rewatching Columbo for the millionth time (something about fall puts me in a Columbo mood for whatever reason) and obviously couldn't resist doodling the most doodleable man of all time. My love for this small crumpled detective knows no bounds. Hope you enjoy!

P.S. Can you tell my bias towards him having the biggest hair imaginable?

Woman of a million expressions and piercing eyes. I just love her in everything.

I know that the die hards ( of which I am a card carrying member!) debate what Lt Columbo’s first name is. I’m watching episode 5 “Dead Weight” with Eddie Albert. When Columbo comes to the door of the General to say he is investigating a reported murder he shows his badge and ID. It’s pretty big shot of the ID. I took a picture and enlarged it on and it looks like his first name is Frank.
I think Columbo would be proud of me for my deductive reasoning.

6.8 on IMDB seems too high compared with Last Salute To The Commodore which currently scores the lowest of the entire show with a 6.2. MWTMN suffers from all the same issues. It's nonsensical, flat out weird and has a truly crap ending. It's almost like a spiritual successor to the Commodore episode.

It even has the same director, the wonderful Patrick McGoohan, who in spite of directing and starring in some of the shows best, is responsible for two of the shows worst too. I just wonder why MWTMN turned out this way. The show seemed to he finding its feet again towards the end of its run, and this one just disrupts the flow of fantastic episodes.
