The original run of police drama \u2018Columbo\u2019 had already come and gone before I took my first breath. Several decades after Lieutenant Columbo\u2019s last case and twelve years after actor Peter Falk\u2019s death, I\u2019m addicted to the show and working my way through every single episode in broadcast order.\"Columbo<\/div>\n
\n
\n

For anyone who hasn\u2019t fallen in love with Peter Falk\u2019s mesmerising performance as the dishevelled and amiable homicide detective Lieutenant Columbo of LAPD, my sudden passion for a cult classic American crime drama from the 1970s may seem a touch eccentric. After all, what could possible be the draw for a hobo detective in a shabby raincoat and clapped-out car? Well, allow me to explain!Getting into \u2018Columbo\u2019 by chance\u201cDid you know that Janis Joplin took her last earthly drink here?\u201d our friends asked, taking us to Barney\u2019s Beanery in West Hollywood for the first time. They were a hive of local information. They also mentioned that Columbo used to pop into Barney\u2019s for his chilli. The series was filmed in Los Angeles and used familiar locations like the popular drinking haunt we hung out in (though the interiors were studio sets).A few days later, in the memorial park looking for Marilyn Monroe\u2019s final resting place, we happened upon Peter Falk\u2019s grave. \u201cI\u2019m not here. I\u2019m home with Shera,\u201d the simple headstone says. We were being followed by Columbo!The series kept coming in and out of my life. Season One was released on Blu-ray by Fabulous Films and I jumped at the chance to review it for EF<\/a>, attracted to it by reputation and knowing that one of the original episodes was directed than none other than Steven Spielberg. I ended up watching every single episode on the discs.When I mentioned how much I enjoyed it and that it was a shame no more seasons were being released, a friend who is a fellow Columbophile lent me Season Four on DVD. \u201cYou love Robert Vaughn don\u2019t you? And Patrick McGoohan? They\u2019re both villains in it.\u201d I planned to watch a few episodes out of politeness and then return the discs, imagining that the series couldn\u2019t possibly have been as good by the fourth season. In the end, I thought it was even better, and I whizzed through the whole lot in no time at all and ended up desperate to see more.\"Columbo<\/p>\n

Room in the suitcaseAfter a few strange coincidences had built up, it took another trip to Los Angeles to take the ultimate step. On the last morning of the holiday I accompanied my husband to Target supermarket to buy a few essentials. For the past ten days I\u2019d looked for a \u2018Columbo\u2019 DVD box set without finding one. Target sells very little home entertainment these days so I suspected I\u2019d missed my chance. \u201cIf they have any \u2018Columbo\u2019, I\u2019ll buy it,\u201d I promised, knowing how unlikely it was that they\u2019d have it in stock.There, in the DVD section, on the top shelf, was \u2018The Complete Columbo\u2019 in an enormous DVD box set, at the incredibly reasonable price of $49. We couldn\u2019t believe our eyes. Yet another \u2018Columbo\u2019 coincidence!When we met our friends for a farewell drink later that evening, my husband said, \u201cTell them what you bought.\u201d\u201cWell, it turns out that I had room in my suitcase for\u2026 just one more thing\u2026\u201dSharing the passionTo stop me going on and on about how great \u2018Columbo\u2019 is, my husband agreed to watch up to the end of the first season with me, and thereafter I\u2019d be on my own. Quietly, I hoped he\u2019d become as hooked as I was, but although he made good on his promise, he liked but didn\u2019t love it. \u201cIt\u2019s good, but it\u2019s all a bit\u00a0samey<\/em>,\u201d was his criticism. Is he right?\"Columbo<\/p>\n

The \u2018Columbo\u2019 formulaI know what he means, but part of the reason that I love the show so much is that the formula is exceptionally good, and a lot of it is counterintuitive. Which other TV series holds back its title character until the second act? We hardly ever see Columbo before the murder has been committed (and when we do, it\u2019s only to subvert our expectations). Instead, we follow characters we will never meet again for the first twenty minutes (although some splendid actors like Robert Culp and Jack Cassidy return as different murderers over and over again).Which other detective drama tells viewers who the killer is right from the start? Where most shows would take the wind out of its dramatic sails by removing the \u2018whodunnit?\u2019 element of suspense, \u2018Columbo\u2019 works in a completely different way. How is he going to prove his suspect\u2019s guilt and make the arrest? That\u2019s what hooks us.And who doesn\u2019t like a catchphrase? Once it\u2019s established, the delight is waiting for Falk to say it. Yet Lt Columbo goes through variations on a theme before settling on the \u201cJust one more thing\u201d schtick. \u201cOne thing bothers me,\u201d is an earlier iteration to look out for.I\u2019ve always had a fascination for off-stage characters. Captain Mainwaring\u2019s wife Elizabeth would often telephone him during episodes of \u2018Dad\u2019s Army\u2019, but we never met her or heard her voice. She was much more fearsome in our imaginations, after all! Mrs Columbo is referenced in virtually every episode. She\u2019s always a terrific fan of whoever the famous celebrity murderer of the week is. Deciding whether or not she actually exists (the season three episode \u2018A Friend in Deed\u2019 strongly implies that Columbo lives alone) or is just a rhetorical device for Columbo to win the confidence of his suspect is all part of the fun!Each episode follows a familiar pattern. We see a murder take place and then Lt Columbo arrives on the crime scene. He quickly forms suspicions about the killer, and then using his charm and apparently bumbling, forgetful persona, allows the killer to underrate him. Sometimes, as with Donald Pleasence (see the excellent episode \u2018Any Old Port in a Storm\u2019), they almost seem like friends. But it\u2019s all an act (as the killer in the pilot episode \u2018Ransom for a Dead Man\u2019 quickly works out). Columbo only affects a shabby and absent-minded persona to disguise his razor-sharp Sherlock Holmes-like powers of observation and deduction. The more arrogant and haughtily superior the killer, the more likely they are to fall for Columbo\u2019s act of humble piety and imagine that they\u2019ll easily pull the wool over his eyes and get away with murder. Just as you wonder how on earth Columbo will tighten the net around the suspect, he reveals an ingenious gotcha that often has the keenest viewers squealing in delight (or me, at any rate)!<\/p>\n

\"Columbo<\/p>\n

The winning ingredientsWhat exactly is it that I find so compelling about \u2018Columbo\u2019? It boils down to three things:Firstly, it\u2019s comfort TV. The established formula, Columbo\u2019s customary methods of deduction and the Los Angeles setting ensure that, however innovative the set-up (and when Johnny Cash plays the murderer in \u2018Swan Song\u2019, he really does come up with a highly original wheeze!) you stay in recognisable territory. Just as sitcoms press the reset button at the end of each episode and the sets never change, just as slipping on an old jumper is always the cosiest embrace, just as traditions and customs provide us with the comfort of familiarity, \u2018Columbo\u2019 meets your expectations and allows fans to lose themselves in its magic.Secondly, \u2018Columbo\u2019 is high-quality television drama. The scripts usually sparkle with ideas and snappy dialogue. The stories are almost always intelligently-structured and intriguing, keeping your interest from start to finish over seventy to ninety minutes. For police procedural drama, it\u2019s a class act and a cut above the rest with enough unique twists and eccentricities to keep it distinctive.Thirdly, the murderers are usually from the upper echelons of Hollywood high society. They swan about in mansions with swimming pools and wear loud and fancy fashions. They\u2019re used to getting their own way and see no reason why they shouldn\u2019t be able to get away with murder. Watching a scruffy little fellow in a battered pink suit get the better of them is simply delicious. Columbo is the best man for the job in delivering their fall from grace.Peter Falk is so great in the part that it\u2019s inconceivable to imagine any other actor playing \u2018Columbo\u2019. I sincerely hope they never reboot the show. The 45 classic episodes from the late 1960s and 1970s retain their magic five decades on. You don\u2019t need anything else.Next time I will discuss some episodes of \u2018Columbo\u2019 that have really caught my attention. But for a deep dive into this wonderful series, look no further than my constant companion \u2018The Columbophile Blog<\/a>\u2018.
