Peter Falk is beloved by millions for Columbo, the TV series about an apparently shambling and forgetful detective with a mind like a steel trap. In his trademark grimy overcoat (Falk's own), Columbo and his dog puttered through the decades from 1968 to 2003, solving murders and picking up Emmy Awards. The series' radical innovation is the way it splurges information most detective dramas hold back: the audience knows who the murderer is from the get-go. The pleasure is in watching Falk's detective, cigar in hand, with a seemingly innocent question always at the ready, circle his unsuspecting prey while regaling them with anecdotes about his beloved Mrs Columbo.

那不是哥伦布吗？

彼得·福克（Peter Falk）因电视剧《哥伦布》（Columbo）而受到成千上万的喜爱，该剧讲述的是一个铁腕般的头脑，似乎在ham讽和健忘的侦探。在从1968年到2003年的几十年中，哥伦布和他的狗穿着他那肮脏的商标大衣（福克自己的衣服），轻轻地推了推销，解决了谋杀案并获得了艾美奖。该剧集的激进创新是它散布大多数侦探戏剧所阻挡的信息的方式：观众从一开始就知道凶手是谁。高兴的是看着福克的侦探手里拿着雪茄，总是准备着一​​个看似无害的问题，盘旋着他毫无戒心的猎物，同时还给他们讲述了他心爱的哥伦布太太的轶事。
