We just all pretend like we don't and play along for lulz. Acting more oblivious and newbiegy just makes it funnier.
Just lure someone into the woods, kill them and dump their body into a lake. Even if the police have suspicions if they can't prove anything you're fine.
>What is it fellow policeman, know that i'm entirely at your disposal for any help you may need whatsoever, i hope doing so will erase any suspicion you might have on me being the cruel murderer, which i'm absolutely not as you understood on the first glance when meeting my rich and arrogant me, even though your peculiar behavior may soon get me annoyed and less wary of you, which might result in a mistake I will do or say in front of you by anger or frustration, that will confirm I am the cruel murderer, because it's me.
Blown away and can no longer investigate me, problem solved
how do shows like this get 1000 seasons? you know he's going to solve the case 99% of the time and the cases themselves are rarely interesting enough to justify even being put to screen
because they would definitely get arrested if they just fricking killed a cop, what would they gain from that? it's not like if you just kill the detective investigating you his evidence and file on you just disappears and the problem goes away, you'd just end up under the jail instead of inside of it

this but unironically. Could the police in the 70's really just break into your home and start looking around without a warrant and without even telling you?
whenever Columbo would enter premises to search for clues, he would always do it under the pretence of a random task bringing him their by coincidence (e.g. returning something that he had borrowed from the culprit), hence the lack of a warrant
well more importantly he'd usually just be looking at things that were in plain view, if he had permission to be there in the first place that's not really searching the house. there were definitely times where he pretty much broke the law in this regard tho, like the episode
Anyone who thinks you can beat Columbo needs to watch the episode "Double Exposure". It shows that you can do everything right and he'll still catch you.
mentioned.
he fricking breaks into the guy's office and stages photos of him "looking" through the room, which is somehow ok because he didn't actually touch anything so it wasn't a search, in order to bait the killer into checking on the hidden evidence
the only benefit to letting Columbo talk to you about the case is that he figures shit out quickly so immediately after you could get rid of any evidence

I refuse to speak to you without my lawyer, Mr Goldstein.
how do shows like this get 1000 seasons? you know he's going to solve the case 99% of the time and the cases themselves are rarely interesting enough to justify even being put to screen
It's fun seeing how he solves the case and watching him bring down a smug killer
Because Peter Falk got the network to shoot each episode like a movie instead of a constant TV Drama.
It aged incredibly well because of this.
He only did 4-6 episodes a year.
I would watch 20 minutes of Peter Falk just interacting with a random celebrity.
Also, this is the best Columbo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_UN2S8SasY
My favorite episode is "Playback".
His fake eye looks more real than his actual eye... wtf. Also, is this the eye that many celebs get a mysterious "black eye"?
I understand how no one killed monk but I don't get how no one just pulled out a revolver and blasted this frick
They all think they can bamboozle him, and a lot of them don't want to murder anyone except the person they originally killed.
because they would definitely get arrested if they just fricking killed a cop, what would they gain from that? it's not like if you just kill the detective investigating you his evidence and file on you just disappears and the problem goes away, you'd just end up under the jail instead of inside of it
Frick his wife
>Yeah that's great, I don't care, goodbye
just don't admit anything when he solves the murder on a hunch and go free when the case is thrown out due to lack of evidence
Hey, Colombo... if you're Italian how come I never see you eatin' gabagool?
this conversation is over, you didn't lead with your best foot, I don't want you around.

Early Dragnet had them doing that. Warrants were something that the FBI had to get. Then a court case, and they changed the show.

Me personally? I'd just be innocent of the murder.

>oh? And now you intend to bother me with it as well?
