Is it because he’s always nailing smug weirdo rich fuckbags? Is it the peter falk hard carry? Is it because despite being canonically a cop he does anything but act like a cop?
Is everything downstream of columbo an attempt to erase his legacy as the hound of wealthy sociopaths?
Is Columbo a demigod?
We need a modernized anime Columbo
please dont troll this most serious of threads
I’m sorry! :( I was actually being serious though.
well i was! I would at least raise my eyebrows and watch an episode if it was a thing. I think columbo without an extant peter falk to play him is a dead end road, but there are guys and gals out there that probably have what it takes to step into the role, and i’d watch it at least once
There’s a Columbo’s son which is the antagonist of the week in one of part 2 Lupin III episodes (1977-1981), funnily enough.
Apparently that’s episode 72, “The Skateboard Murder Mystery” or “You’re Sapphired!”, and the kid’s name is Bolonco also spelled Boronco. So I guess I still have 30 episodes left of Part 2 before it gets to the good* part!
*Lupin III is good throughout, this is just a joke.
