Where To Watch
Are these real Columbo episodes or did we make them up?
Thank you very much for the time.
Columbo was TV's quirkiest detective, so it's no surprise he turned the whole genre of crime drama upside down. From 1971 to 2003, we watched Columbo solve murders in riveting episodes with names like "Murder By the Book," "Double Exposure," "Troubled Waters" and other titles that inspired intrigue.
Out of all these episodes, a handful had the detective's name right in the title. Here, we play a game to see if you can detect which of these Columbo titles are real from the ones we made up, in attempts to playfully mirror the show's special humor. Good luck!

8/10...that's great
10/10
Got all 12. Did anyone else notice that all the titles used in this quiz were from the newer version of Columbo?
7/10
You got 7 out of 10
Keep your day job, gumshoe.

That was easy. Something I just noticed watching last weeks episode. In "Columbo Hits the Jackpot", he speaks fluent Italian to some of the victim's friends. But in a later episode (I forget the title but Rod Steiger played a retired Mafia boss) he says that he "never got the hang" of Italian! Just one of those inconsistencies.
Mafia bosses don't retire--they generally get killed on the job.
Yeah, these were clearly later episodes after the initial 7 year run. (I think 7) I didn't even recognize most of these titles; well the real ones, and was lucky to get 8/10.
4/10, just one more thing, I did terrible.
6/10. Guessed them all.
10 out of 10. Watching every episode of Columbo multiple times comes in handy.
7/10.
8/10! Number 2 was the last episode, and the phony Number 3's full title would have been "Columbo Likes To Boogie On The Disco Rooound"...LOL to all '70's kids!
5/10 but all guesses. I really don't know episode names on any show.
7/10. Before I took this quiz, I predicted I would get 50% {5/10.} But I pleasantly surprised myself by getting two more right than I predicted! I've watched both the old and new episodes, {most not all of them from the beginning, but after they'd been running 30 minutes, or so.} I don't know why, exactly, but it used to bother me seeing his character be this way. But over time, I had a change of heart, {obviously.} I think the reason why, is because it bothered me to see him bothering other people. Until I realized that's his nature, he's supposed to be doing this! Getting under people's skin, is one of his {unique} ways of helping him to solve the mystery.
I was 10/10 but for me it was an easy quiz since i've watched every Columbo episode at least once.
