Age 83.

We'll miss you, Columbo.

Age 83.

We'll miss you, Columbo.

Now I'm sad. He'll be missed.

 

[mamiller]

I'm sad too. So many years have passed since I watched Columbo, and yet I can hear his voice crystal clear.  He would point his cigar and say, "Now let me get this straight...." 

 

[geoffthomas]

Yeah - the news piece that I saw did not list his work in "Murder by Death".
But they did mention Columbo's raincoat, beatup Peugeot and "Just one more thing".

So sorry to hear he suffered from Alzheimers.

Just sayin......

 

[Ann in Arlington]

Oh. . .just one other thing. . . . . . .

 

[Mike D. aka jmiked]

Drat. I knew he'd been in bad shape for three or four years.

Columbo was a high point of television, in my opinion.

Perfect, Ann!

Unlike much of what's on today, Columbo was worth staying home to watch.

I liked all those Sunday Mystery Theater shows. There was also McCloud and MacMillan and Wife. . . . .And I think Quincy started there but then became a series on it's own. . . .not sure about that though. . . .

 

[mamiller]

McCloud was great.  He should have teamed up with Columbo on a case.

I kind of remember Quincy's pilot running as one of the Sunday Mystery Movies, too, but then it became a one hour show instead of joining the one and a half hour show rotation.

There was also another night they ran ... Tuesdays? That's where Banacek came from. (wikipedia says it was Wednesdays./url])

Sad about Peter Falk. I loved Columbo.

 

[Leslie]

While everyone always thinks of Peter Falk as Columbo, I loved him best in The In-Laws with Alan Arkin. That movie cracks me up every single time I see it. Here's the famous Serpentine! Serpentine! scene....

 

[spotsmom]

I will miss COlumbo and his messy raincoat.  Thing I loved about COlumbo was the beat up Peugeot.  We had one exactly like it, and I remember taking my drivers test in it.

 

[swolf]

Sad.  I loved Columbo.

And don't forget about Princess Bride.

 

[mamiller]

They just reported on the news that in all those years, Columbo's first name was never mentioned.

I forgot about Princess Bride. 

 

[Tris]

It's sad that he passed away, but I don't remember him too much.  The one thing that does stick out in my head is "The Princess Bride" and "Roommates" movies.  Never watched "Columbo"...

"As you wish...."

I'm not a fan of celebrity biographies, but I think I'll make an exception for this one.

Sad to hear the news.
