Rated properly. Remember, outside of like 3-4 shows, tv in the 70s was mostly shit because Wasserman codified everything to be produced the exact same way.
Columbo wasn't top shelf great, but it's comparable to something like Monk in quality and it's way better than subsequent rip offs like Barney Miller, Murder She Wrote or Diagnosis Murder.

Were there any other stands outs between 70s - 90s? I know that tv only gets really good at the beginning of the 90s

The shows from the 60s/70s are the only ones worth watching. The revival was far too self aware and consisted of way too much padding to make it them a TV movie. I hate that 80s guillotine episode so much, it was barely Columbo in my opinion.

The episodes are so fucking long

I know people that took a gander at an episode after just hearing it through references.
They're now hooked.

There's an episode called "Last Salute To the Commodore" which was directed by Patrick McGoohan (aka Number Six), where McGoohan mostly had the actors improvise the scenes. It's so awkward and uncomfortable, everybody should watch it.
Oliver Thompson
I love the McGoohan episodes, both when he acts and directs.
Carson Rogers
Yeah, Peter Falk and Patrick McGoohan were friends, and you can tell.
Leo Flores
Don't worry, I don't watch inbred shit.

Colombo is prime drinking kino. Pour yourself a stiff bourbon and settle in.

BTW, if you didn't know already, Columbo is based on the character of Porfiry from Crime and Punishment. Just a fun literary tie in that's fairly well known.

Also, Columbo has a running gag where he talks a lot about his wife, but she's never shown. At some point, someone had the idea to make a spin-off about her, called Mrs. Columbo, and playing the part of the unseen wife was none other than...
Andrew Parker
in my opinion not. i personally also think it plays in a far better league than Monk, contrary to what this dude said.
one thing bugs me though. more often than not, columbo "solves" the case, but the evidence against the culprit is so fucking weak it would not stand in a trial.

Monk has better writing. Colombo has better actors.
