Sherlock is too self-satisfied. Poirot is pretentious. The only TV detective that feels so real, without any eccentricity is Lieutenant Columbo of the LAPD. And that’s what makes the TV series Columbo so brilliant. Take our ultimate Columbo quiz to find out whether you’re an expert.
All these years have passed and people are still reminiscent about probably the best detective TV series out there. We’re talking about Columbo of course. A show so unpretentious, so simple, but at the same time brilliant and heartwarming.
The show’s protagonist, played by Peter Falk, had one of the most intelligent minds on TV, taking down criminal after criminal, solving mystery after mystery. His style of investigation, for which you have to thank the writers, William Link and Richard Levinson, inspired countless other TV shows. In fact, Columbo showed that policemen can be humble and daydreamers too. Lieutenant Columbo didn’t chase bad guys or kill them, in fact, he wouldn’t even fire a gun, he simply wore a coat, smoked cigars, drove a run-down car, and pulled lies apart one by one.
Do you still rewatch Columbo time after time? If you do, you will probably remember all the crazy details we’ll ask for in this quiz. And if you don’t, well there’s never been a better time to learn about the show! Take our ultimate quiz, and prove yourself to be an ultimate Columbo fan.
