Columbo didn't like the new trench coat that his wife bought him, why didn't he like it? and what did he do with it?

In life Peter Falk's best friend was Alan Arkin but he's not in the running. The actors I saw most as killers on Columbo were Martin Landau and Patrick McGoohan.
If you take his role as Lieutenant Kinderman in The Exorcist into account Lee J Cobb would have made a great Columbo. Columbo would have been short lived since both Cobb and Crosby passed away before 1977.
Correct!, it was too tight/restricting hence not loose and rumples, he disposed of it by leaving it on bench IIRC.
Answer: "Forgotten Lady" and "It's All In The Game" ( Mother and daughter conspire to kill a 2 timing lover, mother actually kills him, but daughter escapes to europe, never arrested, mother is arrested)
You are 1/2 Correct, on a Frank Sinatra Roast, Falk in character as Columbo asks Sinatra for an autograph for Mrs. Columbo, "Rose"
, but in the spinoff her name is revealed as "Kate"
It also made him itch.
Btw, should you do a Rockford Files trivia, I'll take a pass to allow others to answer - unless there's a dangler that no one gets.
You're shittin me! It has a higher rating than Hill Street Blues. Very well constructed show for its time, fronted by the charismatic James Garner, a must watch. I'm looking to stream it again from the beginning. It's such a good show, I watched it overdubbed in Italian, it was a hoot! Magnum PI was spun off from it.

Gretchen Corbett, the lovely lass in the bikini, was part of The Rockford Files.
She got caught up in several car cashes, the look on her face was priceless. She was either scared shitless or having an orgasm.

James Garner was one of the coolest guys of his era along with Paul Newman, James Coburn and number one Steve McQueen. But I still liked and watched HSB a lot more. It was grittier, had a more realistic cast of characters with issues and more of an ongoing story line. It was more unique for it's era and not as formulaic as RF. Just my oponion.
