Pays : Etats-Unis]] « Ah oui il est marrant ce p'tit bonhomme avec son air con ! » ~ Columbo à propos de Nicolas Sarkozy Columbo est une série américaine qui dure quelques minutes. Elle met à chaque fois en scène un meurtre. Le téléspectateur qui regarde cette série pour la 1ère fois est diablement surpris car il n'a que 10 secondes pour deviner quelle est la personne qui a commis ou qui va commettre le meurtre. Le lieutenant Columbo, lui, SAIT dès la première seconde qui est le ou la coupable, parce que contrairement aux enquêteurs dans d'autres films policiers, il a lu le scénario AVANT (pas con, le type !). Un des intérêts de ce polar télévisé est de voir le pauvre lieutenant Columbo essayer de nous faire croire qu'il déduit plein d'informations sur le meurtre à travers des relevés téléphoniques, des bouts de cigarettes enfoncés dans les oreilles d'un Kevin, ou d'une cathédrale de Chartres retrouvé au fond d'une poubelle, ou encore dans le regard de Céline Dion. Mais ses piteux efforts sont en définitive mal récompensés, et il en est réduit à monter un vrai cirque pour arracher des pseudo-preuves à un innocent (ben oui, tant qu'il n'est pas confondu...). Ledit innocent, touché par la maladresse insigne du lieutenant, se constitue prisonnier afin d'arrêter le massacre. Les téléspectateurs les plus courageux peuvent regarder le film jusqu'à la fin, dans l'espoir insensé de voir le lieutenant Columbo se planter définitivement. Mais le scénariste est un roublard, et à chaque fois, ils l'ont dans le cul ! Un autre ressort qui suscite l'intérêt des téléspectateurs est la présence en creux du personnage de la femme du célèbre lieutenant. Cette dernière étant, d'après nos sources invérifiables, régulièrement en cure de désintoxication car particulièrement alcoolique.

- Columbo: long-running Mystery of the Week series starring Oscar Nominee Peter Falk as Lieutenant Columbo, a blue-collar beat-down LA homicide detective whose clownish antics hide an exceptionally sharp wit. The series is composed of about thirty TV-movies, beginning with every third episode of the '70s NBC Mystery Movie and running through a '90s solo revival. According to Word of God -- a.k.a. prolific TV production partnership Levinson and Link -- the film Les Diaboliques (1955) and its shabby inspector, Alfred Fichet, was the major initial inspiration for the character. Lieutenant Columbo first failed to appear in the short story "May I Come In": the story ends with the detective knocking at the door. "May I Come In" was adapted as an episode of the anthology series The Chevy Mystery Show and then into the stageplay "Prescription: Murder", which was then turned into the Columbo pilot-movie. Columbo went from being an off-screen character in "May I Come In" to a supporting character in the play, and finally to the lead of the TV movie. Columbo is the first and most famous Reverse Whodunnit (better known as the "open mystery"): for as much as the first quarter of each episode, the audience sees the motive set up and then actually watches as each guest villain tries to execute the perfect murder via an intricate -- and often high-tech -- endgame. Columbo himself then appears in the second act, as the first police presence on the scene... and the audience is left wondering not "whodunnit" but "howzhegonnagetim" (or, as the show's creators dubbed it, "howcatchum"). Viewers who missed the first fifteen minutes could pick out the murderer pretty quickly anyway; it was usually either Robert Culp, Jack Cassidy or Patrick McGoohan (a close friend of Falk's, who also directed an episode). Barring that, it was the wealthy and/or brilliant character being the most smug about it. Notable one-offs included Richard Kiley, Robert Conrad, Ruth Gordon, Janet Leigh and Leonard Nimoy... oh, and the first Mystery Movie episode ("Murder by the Book") was directed by some random wunderkind named Spielberg. Albeit deliberately structured more on the formal "drawing-room mystery" (think Agatha Christie) than anything like a realistic police procedural, the show was generally an exception to Conviction by Contradiction: while an Encyclopedia Brown-style clue may first trigger Columbo's suspicions, the real chase is his attempts to get enough evidence for an arrest, often by exasperating/panicking the perp themselves into saying or doing something incriminating. Columbo was the master of Perp Sweating (i.e. shredding the Constitution, albeit totally under the Rule of Cool at all times). Though he generally settles on his horse from the outset, he never lets on, instead worming his way into their confidence via fawning adulation, begging their assistance as he "solves" the case. Usually he forces them to weave a huge web of lies until he can finally Pull the Thread -- justified because he's always right. (Interestingly, while the Lieutenant is clearly over-the-top, he's arguably using a more true-to-life interview technique than the angry, confrontational interviews common in straight police dramas; flattery and interest in the other person's concerns are a more effective way of obtaining information.) A Throw It In accident during the filming of "Prescription: Murder" led to a trademark mannerism: after each interview with the suspect, Columbo begins to leave, the perp begins to relax -- and then the Lieutenant returns to ask a significant and leading question, prefaced by a sheepish "Just one more thing, sir...". Columbo's other trademarks are his weatherbeaten raincoat, a cheap cigar, his broken-down car, his refusal to carry a gun (fortunately, perps always surrender gracefully when the jig is up), and constant references to The Ghost, his never-seen wife, Mrs. Columbo. Later, in an interesting subversion of Executive Meddling, the network tried to force a permanent sidekick on him. He got one: a shiftless, droopy Basset Hound he is most often seen instructing to stay in the car. Another mild running gag was Columbo's first name, never revealed (everyone called him "Lieutenant" instead). An early episode has him showing an ID badge with the name "Frank", a fact only visible with video technology not available when the episode first aired. Word of God confirmed that the name on the badge was not intended to be the character's canon name. (In the 1970s, famously, a trivia book author invented the first name "Philip" as a copyright trap. When the answer appeared in the game Trivial Pursuit, he sued for plagiarism.) Given all this, Columbo can be easily read as an expression of class struggle within the justice system. The perps are almost always powerful, privileged, and well-educated, while Columbo is, to put it mildly, not. Then again, the series creators have said that they weren't trying to send any message, just felt that Columbo would be more interesting as a fish out of water. Columbo's prop-laden buffoonishness is usually considered an act, but if so, it is an act he never admits to. Villains routinely accuse Columbo of putting up a false front, which he promptly disavows even more humbly. In "Prescription: Murder", a murderous psychologist provides a (seemingly) perfect analysis of the Lieutenant: he believes he can't get by on his looks or charm, so he has turned his disadvantages into advantages. In "The Bye-Bye Sky-High I.Q. Murder Case", Columbo remarks that he knows he isn't the smartest guy around and attributes his success to merely working harder, thinking longer, and looking closer than anyone else would. Columbo has solved every case put before him onscreen (he sometimes claims that he only solves about a third total, but this could well be part of the humility act) and hasn't gotten his man only once -- in which case the perp was dying anyway. In true classic mystery fashion, each ep wraps up with the Lieutenant confronting his prey with his train of deduction, culminating in the vital clue; the perp may not confess, but they know, and the viewer knows, they have been beaten. To show the subsequent arrest and trial might be interesting in a lot of cases, but would be entirely superfluous in all of them. Columbo's last appearance was in the 2003 TV movie Columbo Loves the Nightlife. A "finale" TV movie was planned and written, but ABC refused to insure it due to Falk's age and subsequent declining mental health, and Falk died in 2011 with the last script still in limbo. Columbo was also the primary inspiration for the British Locked Room Mystery series Jonathan Creek.

Almost every episode began by showing the commission of the crime and its perpetrator. The series has no "whodunit" element. The plot mainly revolves around how the perpetrator, whose identity is already known to the audience, will finally be caught and exposed. The title character is a friendly, verbose, disheveled-looking police detective (of Italian descent) who is consistently underestimated by his suspects. Most people are initially reassured and distracted by his circumstantial speech, then increasingly irritated by his pestering behavior. Despite his unprepossessing appearance and apparent absentmindedness, he shrewdly solves all of his cases and secures all evidence needed for indictment. His formidable eye for detail and meticulously dedicated approach, though apparent to the viewer, often become clear to the killer only late in the storyline. The episodes are all movie-length, between 73 and 100 minutes long. The series was once broadcast on over 80 networks, spanning 44 countries. In 1997, "Murder by the Book" was ranked No. 16 on TV Guide's 100 Greatest Episodes of All Time. and in 1999, the magazine ranked Lt. Columbo No. 7 on its 50 Greatest TV Characters of All Time list. In 2012, the program was chosen as the third best cop or legal show on Best in TV: The Greatest TV Shows of Our Time. In 2013 TV Guide included it in its list of The 60 Greatest Dramas of All Time. In 2013, Writers Guild of America ranked it No. 57 in the list of 101 Best Written TV Series.
