How come he only ever investigated murders involving rich and

The rich and famous were the only ones smart enough to come up with elaborate alibis/ murder methods. Gang violence is easy to solve as individual crimes, since it's usually one fucking idiot killing another fucking idiot.

Nixons War on The Poor really didnt take off until the CIA invented crack in '82.

GIVE A HOOT. READ A BOOK GENYKUK.

Peter Falk was Jewish, but he character of Columbo was supposed to be an Italian-American and thus presumably Catholic.

>>79631369
this explains why he didn't divorce from his wife

>>79631206

There should've been an episode where he gets in a shootout with some gangmembers, and as he reloads his UZI behind the cover of a copcar, he quips to his fellow officer "Boy, these fellas sure look a bit agitated, reminds me of the wife god bless her soul"

A Columbo thread? In this shithole? Are you telling me that some anons actually have taste?

>>79631150
that's why his car was such a mess, he was always having car chases with criminals

Hijacking this detective thread with a related question: Is Monk a good watch? Or does it get boring towards the ending?

Nigs didn't run the streets back then as they so obviously do now.

For proof; Go to your local 24/7 store at midnight. On foot.
Exactly.

Stay scared Amerifags.

You don't pay much attention do you.
This is the 3rd or 4th Columbo thread this month.

He never had a wife you mongalong

She's just a fictional tool in his deduction kit to bust out when he needs a new approach to the perp

>>79632143
what, no she was real

>>79631837
>uses William Shatner TWICE as two different killers

Yeah, patrician's taste for sure :rolleyes:

Was there not enough washed up old ass actors to place "overly-elaborate murderer #645" at the agency?

>>79632143
Are you an idiot?
The wife was real. She had her own fucking spinoff.

>>79632197
Did you ever see her? Or hear her? Did another character ever meet her? She's "poisoned" off screen and there's an empty coffin in one episode. Turns out the house Columbo is using is a set up to catch the killer, not his house ergo not his wife in the box if there ever was a "wife" at all

>>79632016
Monk is p. good

His second assistant is a qt

>Neither Peter Falk nor the character of Lieutenant Columbo ever appeared on or endorsed the show.

You're clutching at straws my man, I wouldn't exactly call that hot garbage canon

>>79632247
a lot of actors were reused for different roles

>>79632400
That literally doesn't matter.
All that matters is its official.

>>79632400
Canon? Really? You're arguing canon in a series where the same guy appears multiple times as different people?

>>79632312
There was an episode where we see him call her on the phone to ask her about what the weather was in a particular day, which was a pivotal clue to getting the evidence needed to prove that a guy murdered his brother by locking him in his wine cellar and turning off the ventilation. The wines were ruined.

Why did he never go above liutenant? How the fuck did he never get promoted? And why wasn't he considered a living legend by his department and the press?

>>79631150
Quite frankly, most of the cases he "solves" wouldn't hold up in court if the murderer had a good lawyer, and since they're all rich they definetly would.
