To a legend who brought to life my favourite detective, RIP. 
RIP Peter Falk
Oh no how terriblepoor cajumbo

RIP. 
(Even though I thought he'd already died. I am a chump.)
But he might come back to life for just one more thing
Awww!
I loved his show, best detective ever. RIP.
Screw you, Alzheimer's. 
Sad news, I really enjoyed Columbo. The way he would put the culprit at ease, pretending to be a bumbling fool, then just ask "one more thing" and tie them up in knots in their own lies. Absolute genius.
Without doubt the best detective show.
What will happen to his Bassett Hound now?

He has been in a bad way with Dementia for some time I think.
The dog was only in a few episodes. It was introduced because the executives wanted Columbo to have a young partner. Falk would only agree if he could choose, and he chose the dog. It was so much trouble it's appearances became limited.

Ah yes, that's probably it, am mixing it up with hearing that he was ill.
Do I recall Shatner being a murderer in one?
There are two I really remember
One with a nice little old lady who was a crime writer who was the murderer.
And one with a funeral director. Who I'm sure was also famous.

Yep. Two actually. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbo_(TV_series)#Guest_stars
The funeral director was wossisname Patrick McGooghan from "The Prisoner".. Number 6.
