Columbo: TV Guide News

The classic whodunit about the razor-sharp detective with a rumpled raincoat, a bumbling manner and no apparent first name. He always has 'uh, just one more question' before nailing the killer. `Columbo' premiered as an NBC series (following a couple of highly regarded TV-movies) in September 1971 as one of three rotating `Sunday Mystery Movie' elements (`McMillan and Wife' and `McCloud' were the other two). It ran for six seasons and was revived periodically in TV films over the next decades.

TV's Columbo Is on Broadway's Case | Today's News: Our Take | 7/12/2007
Just one more thing, ma'am....Lt. Columbo squares off against a high-powered record executive in Columbo Takes the Rap, a stage play that bowed in June at a Kentucky festival and is now headed for a national tour and hopefully on to Broadway, says the New York Post. Columbo creator William Link is behind the unexpected adaptation of the cigar-chomping gumshoe made famous by Peter Falk, and in this context will be played by Chicago thesp Norm Boucher. A "name" actor is being sought to play the villain. (Suggest Tony Danza and I'll smack you.) read more
Monk Hey, hey fellow Monkies,... | Today's News: Our Take | 3/6/2006
MonkHey, hey fellow Monkies, did you miss me? I for one missed Monk, although I didn’t realize how much until I saw tonight's episode, which was hilarious and, at times, heartbreaking. Monk seemed more vulnerable than ever when he spoke in front of Julie's class on career day. And while it was funny to watch the kids taunt him with those laser pointers, Monk's embarrassment was palpable. He's a man with a disease, not an amusing quirk, and he’s really working hard to overcome it. His macho competition with the murderer, astronaut Steve Wagner (how come astronauts never have names like Lipschitz?) did wonders for Monk's meek disposition. Even though he declared himself a "muss" (half man, half wuss), Monk found the cajones to stand in the path of a plane to catch th read more
Paul Reiser Plans Sitcom Return | Today's News: Our Take | 2/14/2006
Paul Reiser is mad about cars. Or, more specifically, a car dealership. OK, even more to the point, he's mad about a sitcom pilot he's currently developing for CBS about a guy who sells cars for a living. At the same time, the Mad About You alum is happy to be bringing The Thing About My Folks — which he wrote and produced, and in which he plays son to one of his idols, Peter Falk — to DVD. Reiser found a few minutes to speak with TVGuide.com about his new TV foray (including whether there's a role in it for Falk), and the very special "extra" included in the Folks DVD.
