Columbo is definitely different from today’s cop shows.
Look, I like CSI. I admit it. I have to watch every week...especially the Miami one.
But, today’s cop shows are so focused on how things get done with science and don’t involve the good-old fashioned detective work that the old shows had. The old shows’ focus on forensic science was.....fingerprints. That was it. Not even DNA was considered until the 90s gradually, and then boom, CSI hits and everything changes.
I am a young person just 24, but I enjoyed watching Columbo and Matlock when I was growing up as a real little boy in the 80s and early 90s.
Too bad we don’t have many of those pure reasoning detective shows left.
I forgot Jessica Fletcher. I also loved Murder She Wrote.
When I was little, my grandparents were all dead already, so my “grandmother” was my elderly babysitter.
Sitting around and watching Murder She Wrote and the other shows is a big memory of mine. It was so pleasant.
Our entire culture doesn't have any "Pure Reasoning" abilities left.
Columbo was the only detective show I ever bothered to watch. I hope this gets made. Networks are beyond stupid.
Don't forget this guy! Might be my favorite show. I miss Banacek! |
