Tonight in 1968 — Peter Falk made his debut as COLUMBO in PRESCRIPTION: MURDER on NBC.
He would play the character for 35 years.
“He was perfect,” co-creator William Link said. "And then he got better.”

Ok… honestly for a second I was like… what!? 35 years… Although it is true the character was used during 35 years, the show was not running all those years. There were gaps, like a 11 year gap between season 7 and 8 and some specials here and there on the last years.

I mean the text doesn’t imply that but for a second I thought there was more show than I thought.

It has 10 seasons and some are like 3 episodes. In total it seems it were 69 episodes, and that takes into account specials.
