“Columbo” stood out with its reverse mystery format, revealing crime details from the start. Despite success, the show had interesting bloopers and facts. Columbo’s willingness to tamper with evidence for confessions, Peter Falk’s glass eye, and occasional goofs added to its charm. The show ran for 35 years, pioneering inverted mysteries. Falk not only delivered a great performance but also curated Columbo’s wardrobe. Patrick McGoohan played a murderer four times, and notable guest appearances enriched the series. Falk’s favorite episodes include “Any Old Port in a Storm” and “Forgotten Lady.” The show ranked in TV Guide’s top lists, earning Falk four Emmys. A Budapest statue honors Columbo.
