Enjoyed watching Columbo. For those of you unfamiliar with this excellent series, remember these basic rules.
1. Suspect kills victim and hides evidence.
2.Columbo shows up in rinky dink car and frumpled coat. Starts poking around.
3. Columbo plays idiot by asking the suspect seemingly stupid questions. Usually says 'Oh just one more thing...' as he has his hand on the door knob about to leave.
4. Suspect starts to get annoyed with Columbo constantly showing up during his favorite diversions and smugly tells him he has no evidence and to kindly go away. Suspect has been lulled into false sense of superiority.
5. Columbo finds incriminating evidence.
6. Columbo confronts suspect and gives him a minute by minute play of the crime in surgical detail, usually ending with a witty comment at the end.
7. Suspect grudgingly admits the crime and applauds the detective's cunning before being led away in handcuffs.
