He's the greatest detective of all time, and he finally has his own official channel! Follow us for the clips and compilations of the most iconic murders and moments from the classic series.

I love the comic irony, of having a case full of money on the table, and he can't pay the $1.10 bill, this series was so well written.

Lee Grant is currently 98yo, and she was still acting as recently as 3 years ago, what a legend!
RIP Peter Falk, another legend.

One of his best lines. "Did it ever occur to you that there are very few people who would take money to forget about a murder? "

I like it when Columbo dumps the newspaper as they walk into the cafe. ‘I don’t need this prop anymore!’

A glass of Sherry and a root beer for a dollar and ten.. At an international airport..
😀
Good old days..

That ending says everything that needs to be said about Columbo. Standing with a giant briefcase of money, he still does it the honorable way. Columbo is never trying to take the shortcut. And that's why, at the end of the day, there is no shadow of a doubt.

“ you undercover “ ?
“No ! I’m underpaid “ was a great line in one of the episodes .

A key thing in this scene is the fact that it is one of the few times Columbo seems to acknowledge his intelligence. After saying to him "you're very lucky lieutenant" she corrects herself and says "congratulations, you're very smart". His response of "so are you" shows that, despite his frequent claims of being lucky, or getting the answer from some mysterious relative, or just plain working harder than other (which he no doubt did), he knows he is, in fact, very intelligent.

That "Goodbye Leslie."
Margaret knew it meant something different than it sounded. She was giddy, and all too happy to tell her step-mother "goodbye".

[johnurban]

I like where she thinks she’s outsmarted him so invites him for a drink which is what he wanted her to do the whole time. Always one step ahead of them.

What’s amazing about this is that this is exactly how Sauron was defeated. He had no conscience and couldn’t conceive the idea someone would destroy the one ring and give up that power.

[hendriksmedia]

The best Colombo movies are the ones wherein the opposing actor possesses the theatrical acumen to stand toe-to-toe with Falk’s giant talent. Lee Grant was one of those actors.

[Laceykat]

THIS is why there can never be a reboot of Columbo. SOme fictional characters lend themselves to new actors, but Peter Faulk IS Columbo.

The Lieutenant once told a Murderer “U planned one murder, I investigate murder Everyday for a living”

[TheDoctor]

"You can't conceive of anybody being any different than what you are." That is such an incredibly true statement, both of those like this person and those who are NOT like them. It's just as hard to understand those who will look the other way, pretend they don't see, ignore what's going on and benefit from it as it is for the person who is doing it to understand why others aren't willing to do so.

At 1:23 you can clearly see a large Santa Claus figure standing in a shop as the camera pans.
This scene was clearly shot around Christmas. The interesting thing is that there were no actual
Columbo episodes set during Christmas time. This might be the nearest we ever got to one.

I've worked at a major airport for over 20 years, and have been flying since I was a child. seeing the airport in this video made me nostalgic and very sad. Airports used to be fun places to be, I remember showing up like 3 hours early for my flight just to browse around and enjoy myself before getting on a plane. Now days, even though I work there, I would rather drive for 2 days than get on a 4 hour flight.

The waitress looking at the briefcase full of money and Columbo left his wallet in his other pants asking if he could sign for it fantastic

[rosario]

Yet another Columbo clip I’m going to watch a million times for the rest of my life and never get sick of.

[eidqdwi]

I still belive columbo was the best detective on the TV
