[edit] Plot
Columbo (was a shabby, apparently slow-witted police detective — although, as criminals eventually learned, appearances can be deceiving. Columbo used his deliberately deferential and absent-minded persona to lull criminal suspects into a false sense of security; meanwhile, he solved his cases by paying close attention to tiny inconsistencies in a suspect's story and by hounding the suspect until he or she confessed. Columbo's signature technique was to exit the scene of an interview, invariably stopping in the doorway or returning a moment later to ask "just one more thing" of a suspect. The "one more thing" always brought to light the key inconsistency.
