"Mrs. Columbo" (later known as "Kate Columbo," followed by "Kate the Detective" and then ultimately "Kate Loves a Mystery") was an American crime drama television series initially based on the wife of Lieutenant Columbo, the title character from the television series "Columbo." Neither Peter Falk nor the character of Lieutenant Columbo ever appeared on or endorsed this show. After poor ratings and reception from both audiences and the original producers of "Columbo," the series and the eponymous character herself were renamed in an attempt to change direction. However, this did not help ratings, and the series was ultimately canceled in March 1980 after 13 episodes.
