Colombo comes from an era before time shifting and on demand. The formula is so much easier to overlook when you're only watching one episode a week.

- PaulHoule 4y agoColumbo was unusual in that it aired much less frequently than once a week so the formulaic nature wasn’t a problem. Today I sometimes enjoy watching off-brand OTA channels such as Comet and Charge and will tune in from time to time and get reintroduced to shows like Quantum Leap, Farscape, and Sliders and sometimes I will get into an appointment viewing habit but I am just as likely to by a box set or otherwise switch on on demand viewing. Columbo plays well in that world but who knows how long it will last.
