I want to doubly stress this as Brenner has been intimidating and blocking Columbo almost every turn this episode. He talks about the apartment as if he lives there alone, and there is no sign of a women living there as well.
I encourage every one to check it out. During the roast Culombo asks Sinatra for an autograph, please make it out to Lt. Colombo, better yet Lt. Colombo and Mrs. Colombo, no Mrs. Colombo and the Liutenant, just make it out to Rose.
So Mrs. Columba does exist and her first name is Rose…who would lie to Sinatra. What about the episode with the movie star who lived on the set? That episode was Requiem for a falling star. He called his wife to have the movie star say hi. The brother in law George answers and says she is not home. I would really love to meet Mrs. I believe she exists and must be quite a character to put up with how Columbo dresses. I lived in the LA area for a decade and cannot imagine wearing a rain coat all the time.
Remember that Mrs. Columbo bought him a new coat but it looked horrid and was too small! He got rid of it. I used to have an old corduroy coat that my wife detested and eventually got rid of it. So I would love to meet Mrs. I just watched the troubled waters episode. At the very end, one of the ships crew members, the guy that escorted the murderer to the police boat also plays the crazy British colonel from Hogans Heroes is trying to find Columbo because his wife is also trying to find him while Columbo himself is trying to find her.
Columbo does exist. Yes, Rose Columbo did exist, and she provided a happy place of peace and sanity to her husband who loved her dearly. They were a modern couple too, Kate taking night courses and her husband happily going along with anything his beloved wife wanted. Frank and Rose Columbo were a love match, and we fans know she was as real as he was.
For me, the real question is whether they ever had children. The real reason, of course, is that he does not want to introduce her to a killer. And whenever he tells a story about a younger member of his family, it always involves a nephew or a niece. I imagine Columbo would have been a loving, indulgent dad, but as you say, he was married to his work, and maybe he and the Mrs.
Zohra Lampert would have been perfect as Mrs. Columbo, but she was better off not getting involved. Columbo always portrayed his wife as anything but a shrinking violet. Fun point, but Columbo is also very professional in his job, as he tells Abigail Mitchell, and bringing his wife to dinner with a killer would in effect be involving her in an active investigation. I plan to write an article on this very subject at some point in the future.
Probably a convenient excuse for Mrs Columbo not attending whatever event she might otherwise have been at. He needed to find a phone. If Columbo had never needed to make that call, would the prevailing theory have prevailed? This scene. I had no doubt from the first episode and his discussion about the kidney shaped table, which was hilarious that Mrs was real.
Of course she is!!! My favorite Mrs. We are promised a glimpse of her at the restaurant award banquet. The table is shown and everyone sitting with Columbo are familiar except for a gorgeous brunette sitting beside him. Who else could it be? Unfortunately, the rapture of finally catching a glimpse of Mrs. So keeping Mrs. Columbo off screen was definitely the right move for the series I think. Another participant could have said the wrong thing at the wrong time. Which if you think about it makes total sense as Columbo would not want a suspect to know that he had identified the actual driver involved the case.
Yet again evidence of how under that chaotic exterior, a very sharp and collected mind is always at work! Falk, He said something along the lines of he felt like Mrs. Colombo may have been a device that Colombo used in situations? I think at an early-ish point in the life of Columbo he accepted that Mrs C may just have been a conversational device, but as the series evolved it became clear that she was meant to be a real person.
For me the scene in Exercise is a very strong hint but Troubled Waters definitely established her excistence. I am of the opinion that columbo remained a better series with mrs columbo being referred to rather than appearing in the flesh , they kept it in tact throughout , they came bloody close in RIP mrs columbo with the funeral all be it fake and the picture in the living room which turned out not to be her and then the phone call wich was real but still didnt see her , a nice twist and very well done but RIP Mrs colombo is far from one of my favorite episodes.
William Link was unequivocal on that point. Not if it was a mistake, let alone a mistake you can only catch if you go frame by frame. So motifs that originated as mistakes can be canon if they keep showing up, while ideas that were very important in the mind of a series co-creator can fail to be canon if they never made their way onto the screen.
I think Frank is accepted canon by the majority, even if not by many fans, not the creators. I believe a Frank Columbo police name badge was even shown on one of the DVD boxset variations at some point, further promoting the idea that Frank is canon.
Of course he had a wife, and her name was Rose. I must have been composing my post and searching for the YouTube video when your post showed up. I stopped to watch it again. Buy me a coffee. Menu Skip to content.
Mrs Columbo? By Lady in Waiting , writers had decided Mrs Columbo was the real deal. These stiff-upper-lipped Brits both copped an eyeful of Mrs Columbo. The car? The coat? TV never seemed so cynical…. Share this: Tweet. Beau Billingslea Investigator as Investigator ….

User reviews 12 Review. Top review. Coming from a big Columbo fan, this spin-off show is really disappointing. Although I am not going to spend the whole review comparing, I have to say Mrs Columbo is a real disappointment of a spin-off series.
And this is coming from a big fan of the classic Columbo series with Peter Falk. As much as I did like the idea, it was one that didn't work out.
