Columbo was my all time favorite TV dective.  He was just so totally different from any other TV hero.    I'd like to see that show re-done.

Like one of my favorites, Kolchak the Nightstalker.

Was a great campy show, but Darren McGavin was what made it legitimately enjoyable. CBS remade it and tried to make it serious, with some ongoing The Fugitive type themes... but it was just a remake in name only.
