    I love Columbo but mostly what this thread is doing is making me want to go back and rewatch some of the Rockford Files

    Looks like a solid vote for option 4.

    Columbo is great because he discovered America

    There's an official Columbo youtube channel with a bunch of eps

    Like this one, for example. I kind of liked this one.

    Really though, I've only played the boardgame:

    Pretty sure you got away with murder and assassinated all the other players if you collected your character's own cards.

    Law and Order: Criminal Intent is a decent successor to Columbo. Follows the same basic ‘howsolveit’ plotline.

    And the two detectives actually mesh well, instead of the constant bickering that accompanies these type of shows.

    Now, after finishing Disco Elysium, I feel the strong need to watch Columbo, Mindhunter AND Hot Fuzz.

    Im sure it will all help me during second playthrough!

    Columbo is also the ultimate Wife Guy detective, a fact which is in no way impacted by the possibility that his wife might not be real

    According to the attempted spin-off series, Columbo's wife was Captain Kathryn Janeway.

    Joe Friday walks into an electronics store.

    He looks around for several minutes before the employee approaches him, asking if there's anything she can help him find.

    Better

    I never got on with Morse, and his informed flaw of alcoholism that never seemed to affect anything and the way that you could tell which woman dunnit by whether he fancied them or not

    Endeavour was good, though, mainly because Roger Allam is in it and he has a voice like sexy treacle

    I would if I knew who he was.

    Anyway, the best TV (book, movie) detective is Poirot.

    I have a soft spot for early 20th century noir detectives because they're usually not actually very good at their jobs and their lives are a mess but they can wisecrack with the best of 'em.

    A shame about all the misogyny, homophobia, and general toxic masculinity, though.

    Jim Rockford is 70s detective who lives in a trailer on the beach, charges $200 a day plus expenses, is constantly getting arrested or hounded by (generally corrupt) cops, and hates using guns, though he will in a pinch.

    He also drives a sweet car, that is constantly getting wrecked, loves tacos, hangs out with his dad fishing, and is James Garner.

    Jim Rockford rules.

    Rockford’s the best all around dude, but he loses, fucks up, and gets his clients killed on a regular basis. He’s a noir hero, and a decent detective on a more human level.

    He employs Nobby and Fred Colon. So a mostly clean Guard.
