[QUOTE="AndyB2008, post: 287568, member: 26097"] With this talk of Columbo, anyone remember the disaster that was Mrs Columbo? Richard Levinson, William Link and Peter Falk were understandably against it. Then Fred Silverman/NBC wanted someone younger (although Levinson and Link offered up Jean Stapleton) , so Kate Mulgrew was cast. After it launched, it was such a disaster with critics and with viewers which proved the likes of Levinson, Link and Falk were right. Realising this too little too late, NBC moved to expunge the Columbo name from it - they sort of explained it at first as Kate being married to another Columbo to distinguish it from Falk, then ditching it altogether and having Kate revert to her maiden name of Callahan after divorcing him. The title of the show got changed a few times too. All to no avail and it ended. Kate Mulgrew did get to headline a more successful show later though. [/QUOTE]
