On a related note.....
I'm just back from the Museum of Television & Radio, where I checked out an episode of 'Checkmate' among other shows.
At one point a character played by Diana Van Der Vlis says to the detective played by James Whitmore (both guest stars):
"I don't even know your first name."
His reply?
"Lieutenant."
Wasn't this basically the same exchange between Columbo and Faye Dunaway's character? I'm fairly certain something similar was said in at least one episode, but for some reason this one seems the most plausible.
