where were you last night between 8:30 and 10?

Peter Falk was brilliant, especially in this iconic role.

I also loved him in Big Trouble, with Alan Arkin, Bev DeAngelo, Charles Durning.

It was so fucking over the top. My fave was Jonathon Winters, though. The way he single handedly takes down an entire gas station in the desert is hilarious.

On edit: here...

I watch that movie two or three times a year.

on the Hallmark Channel.

I just can't get enough.

I watch every episode I can.

there will never, ever be another "Lt. Columbo".

RIP Mr. Falk

Loved the show. Falk was the best.

Everyone knows that the 'absent-minded bumbler' thing was an act on Columbo's part to disarm his suspects. But was the rumpled, disheveled look part of the act, too? Or was he genuinely a slob?

one of the episodes I watched this past weekend, "A Stitch in Crime" (Leonard Nimoy played the villain), Columbo shows up at the crime scene and starts peeling a hard boiled egg, dropping the shells all over the scene.

An evidence collector had to reprimand him about keeping the scene uncontaminated

Totally lovable.
