Aww, shit. Sad now, although I think I'd heard he wasn't doing very well the last few years (eta and the obit confirms that).
Fair thee well, Inspector Columbo.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Lots of Colombos are on Netflix. Not all, though.

The original Columbo tv movie/pilot/whatever you call it was directed by Steven Spielberg, IIRC.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

"As you wish."
