Synopsis

Kate Columbo (the wife of the lieutenant of the same name) is a journalist and takes care of her daughter Jenny but in the meantime, she conducts investigations.

Madame Columbo is an American television series which was broadcast for the first time in 1979. The series is based on the character of Lieutenant Columbo, a famous detective from the Los Angeles police, who was created by Richard Levinson and William Link. In Madame Columbo, we follow the adventures of the wife of the famous detective, Kate Columbo, as she solves criminal investigations as an investigation journalist.

Kate Columbo is interpreted by actress Kate Mulgrew, who was already known for her role in the Ryan's Hope television series. She is accompanied in the series by a certain number of talented actors, such as Peter Falk (in the role of her husband, Lieutenant Columbo) and Dick Sargent (in the role of his colleague and friend, Sergeant Phil Swecker) .

The Mrs. Columbo series was produced by Universal Television and was broadcast for a single season of 10 episodes. Despite the fact that the series was not a commercial success, it was greeted by criticism for its intelligent intrigue and its original use of Madame Columbo's character. The series was also nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award in 1980 in the category "Best actress in a support role in a series, a TV movie or a ministry" for the actress Nancy Walker, who played the role of the mother of Kate Columbo.

Due to its premature cancellation, the Mrs. Columbo series has never been broadcast in France, but it was very popular in the United States and has been broadcast in many other countries. Despite the fact that it lasted only one season, the series has won a considerable number of fans thanks to its captivating intrigue and its innovative use of Madame Columbo's character.
