Another link gone to what now seems like a golden age of network TV. Along with many of its contemporary dramas and comedies, Colombo was well acted and, equally important, well written - more than can be said for most today's stuff. The art of writing seems to have finally faded out when "Everybody Loves Raymond" went off the air. Good actors can be let down by indifferent writing, as in "Hot in Cleveland".

RIP Peter Falk - a great character actor backed up by great writers.

I loved him in The In-Laws, even though he was best known for Columbo.


Just one more question....

Uh oh, Silkie's on to us. She must know more than she's letting on.
We need to go and unbury the evidence from our caper.

RIP Columbo.

Can't you just hear it? "one more thing God!"

I think he sort of did that when he played the Christmas angel in a Hallmark series.

I discovered him relatively recently. I never watched those movies in the 70s and one of the rearly ones was broadcast a few years ago. It was really good.

Once I discovered this man, I really liked his movies.

When a tourist bus would go by Falk's house in Beverley Hills, if he would was out in the yard, he would wave or sometimes come out ot the bus and say hello. I consider that to be pretty classy.

He made a movie here in Pittsburgh called Roomates where he played a
93 year old baker. They filmed the bakery scenes in a place owned by some
friends of ours. Everyone had only good things to say about Mr. Falk. (unlike
Jean Claude Van Damme, who also made a film here and who will still have an angry
mob of women waiting for him should he ever return)
