I remain a huge fan of Columbo reruns and taped what I thought was an original Columbo episode. Columbo wasn't in it the first 10-15 minutes, but I sensed something was terribly wrong. It was as if it was a show trying to be Columbo and trying way, way too hard. Then when a grizzled Peter Falk showed up and was way, way over the top, I realized it was a recent attempt at bringing back a once-great TV show. It was too sad to watch all the way through. This should never again be aired because it does the original TV show such a gross injustice. Falk overacts every single second of the show, trying so hard to be Columbo. The original Columbo was subtle. This Columbo was anything but.
