Yeah, the great columbo himself died on thursday night. Sad times =/ At least he was a good age. Makes me wanna go and re-visit some of the old series, movies, extended episodes and so on. Good classics there.

RIP, you shall be missed.

He'll certainly be missed anyway, I hear good things about his work in Columbo, but as you say, he did indeed live a good life and I don't think you could ask for much more, in that sense.

I loved watching Columbo as a kid. The idea that this dishevelled, unassuming guy was so clever as to outsmart people by biding his time, quietly building up evidence and slyly playing dumb was just so much more compelling than any other TV detective before or since. And Peter Falk absolutely owned the role as no-one esle could have done. A great actor who found the perfect character to play and will be long remembered because of it.
