I can only guess that they were looking for ways to try something different to attract a wider audience but both the Ed McBain episodes were very poor.Columbo has solved some of the trickiest, high profile murders in the history of the LAPD over the course of 3 decades and I used to wonder why he was never promoted and always remained a lieutenant. However, when you think how many times he broke the rules and indulged in behaviours that were ethically or morally questionable, you could argue he was lucky not to be demoted or sacked.</blockquote>
