To be fair, that's virtually always the case. Still, RIP, sir.

I used to watch Colombo a lot, first run, reruns, syndication. He was such an annoying guy, seemed totally oblivious to all the clues then BAM, there it was, the whole plot, laid out in detail.

RIP Mr. Falk, you will be remembered fondly.
