That was great! Really summarized nicely. Never thought about the fact that Columbo covered 5 decades!!!! Thanks for the link!

There will only ever be one Columbo and that was Peter, who slipped into the role so effortlessly and seamlessly. His photo's brought a mixture of joy, sadness and gratitude to an actor who brought so much family entertainment to our house in the 1970's. God bless Peter and thank you.
