Per the discussion now archived on Talk:Columbo/Archive 2#Columbos' first name, content regarding Columbo's first name should be restricted to only the Columbo#First name section. His first name has never explicitly been mentioned during the series. And neither has Peter Falk, nor creators William Link and Richard Levinson have ever confirmed it either. The badge listing the name "Frank" is merely a prop seen solely in ads, posters, DVD covers, and screenshots; in terms of reliable sources, this is a poor substitute for official articles, press releases, and the like. Thank you. |

Howard Wierum, the third actor to play Columbo
[edit]This article mentions the stage play, first performed on January 2, 1962. Was this test performance or something, because it supposedly had its world premier on January 15, 1962. The play was originally called RX:Murder, but eventually the producer decided there would be a film version of it, and as there had been a film already of that title the play was renamed Prescription Murder. Thomas Mitchel became ill and had to have an operation and decided to retire permanently (the play's run did not end due to his sad death), then his understudy, Howard Wierum, who had up until then played a minor role in the play, became Lt. Columbo, playing the role maybe three quarters of the play's run compared to the shorter time Thomas Mitchel played Columbo. Middle More Rider (talk) 23:46, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
Mrs. Columbo
[edit]There is an addition that says 'Mrs. Columbo' which is covering up part of the right side of the episode section. Zachygirl (talk) 05:15, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
