Always loved the show, can't remember ever seeing an episode I didn't like. Peter Falk was just born for the role, I heard he wouldn't rehearse his lines, he'd just go over them once or twice just before a scene to give it a hesitant more natural feel to the delivery, it certainly worked, it lasted from 1968 to 2003. Of the guest stars I liked Robert Culp, Leonard Nimoy, Roddy McDowall, Rip Torn, William Shatner, Patrick McGoohan, Johnny Cash, Donald Pleasance, Vera Miles, the list goes on, the episode I love are just too numerous to list. My wife and I were talking about the show one day and she asked who would I like to see as Columbo in a re-make, I shot down the idea saying nobody could replace Falk. That night I mulled it over thinking if I HAD to pick someone who would it be, one name came to mind, Giovanni Ribisi....I think he could pull it off. Thoughts anyone?
