Seeing Peter Falk in the list reminds me — there's a meme of Star Trek death scenes with Columbo artfully added in the midst or looking on from the background. I've never even seen Columbo and was LOL.

That sounds like something I’d enjoy. I must look.

P.S.: there’s a Columbo with Leonard Nimoy. As with Murder, She Wrote, all kinds of stars show up. There’s an especially good one with Anne Baxter.

That’s great. The first, with hand to head, is my favorite. I’m passing on the link to someone who’ll appreciate it.
