I dunno, I'd give the honor to Commissioner Halperin in "A Friend in Deed." He's rich, he's corrupt, he's unremorseful, and he takes others down with him.

There's no way a network could make an episode like that anymore.

Yeah, his schtick isn't fake, but he knows what he's doing with it. Folks who think it's an act are being fooled by him just as hard as the criminals.

even the very best shows have some misses tho, for being literally 50 years old columbo really is standing the test of time

definitely think the commodore episode was the worst mainly just for the weird drunk daughter character being horrifyingly written.

not sure what my fave is, i think i need to rewatch

My favorite one of these is an episode - I can’t remember which one, where Columbo shows up to the crime scene with a terrible cold. When the murderer greets him, Columbo declines to shake his hand - “I’ve got an awful cold and I don’t want you to get sick, sir.”

The guy then proceeds to show Columbo around, complete with several rounds of “Well Lieutenant, it’s obvious to me that the murderer must have come in through this window” & “I think you’ll find it quite clear that the murderer must have exited through this door,” etc etc etc

Columbo then smiles, thanks the man for showing him around, and gladly extends his hand to shake the man’s hand.
