Depends. Who has the burden of proof?
Columbo is special as a character because you could always kinda smell him. He has the most evocative scent of all TV characters.
like wet tobacco and diner grease?
Yeah, also traffic and rain
No one evil smells like traffic and rain
Plato would say something, then Columbo would say something. Or some variation of that.
plato hasn't been mentioned though
Frick.
My mind has been so twisted. To be fair, frequently people will say "Plato said in [insert Plato dialogue] that [insert philosophical excerpt]" When it was actually Socrates that said it but they attribute it to Plato because he's the author. Sorry folks.
Isn't that Socrates?
It already went down
Nobody knows who Columbo is when I mention him in real life. I've brought him up about 10 times to people in their 20s and their like who? What? I don't see how you can't know who he is. What the frick is wrong with millennials and zoomers?
>What the frick is wrong with millennials and zoomers?
You. You're the problem.
I know Columbo and I'm 19. 🙂

Wanna join my discord?
The organization of groups of pedos is almost inspiring, immediate with this one
Discord is for trannies.
Nah hardly use but thanks for the offer
Never heard of him either. I am 20. Just FYI I haven’t used cable tv since I was 13.
Well have they heard of Kojack or The Rockford Files?
Especially not.
Television series can't be shared as easily as for example books, and zoomers don't really pirate them as previous generations, since their thing are streaming services. So unless Netflix or something picks up Columbo, they have no way of knowing him.
Nobody knows who Columbo is because his tv show is mid
In case you didn't know, Columbo recently became le epic youtube meme so every zoomer who never watched the actual show knows him now.
I didn't know. I don't use the internet other than IQfy. Do you have a link?
NTA but

Watched both Columbo and Rockford Files. I was thinking about watching both of them as recently as this morning. I first watched Rockford Files at 17, and before that, I think I had already watched Magnum PI twice. I'm 24.
Why would you bring up Columbo to 10 different people in their 20's? I know well enough to not mention it, but it is very strange to mention it that many times.
Does anyone have any TV suggestions for fans of "vintage" TV?
Mash was good if you can see past the blatant hippie liberal propaganda.
How old are you?
I hadn’t heard of him until I was like 18. I think The Rockford Files is one of the best shows ever made, though, and it seems comparable to that so it might be worth checking out.
Based Rockford enjoyers. If you’re looking for more excellent vintage TV, I think Rumpole of the Bailey is another excellent show from the 80’s/90’s.
>What the frick is wrong with millennials and zoomers?
I'm an old Millennial and watch Columbo quite often.
Depends. Who has the burden of proof?
Ah Columbo! The greatest character to not come out of literature!
Nowhere. Since neither of them speak the same language.
Prime Falk-Kino. Better than any book that has been published the last 20 years.

Alright homo
- "Oh, and one more thing..."
“Hold on” Socrates interrupted him “About the thing you’re about to tell me, did you put it trough the three sieves?”
Columbo was not familiar with the three sieves, so Socrates continued: “The first is the sieve of Truth. Are you sure that what you are going to tell me is true?”
- “To tell the truth”, said Columbo, “no, I only deduced it”.
“What about the sieve of Goodness. Will you tell me something good or positive?”
Columbo shook his head.
“Now, what about the last sieve. Is it necessary to tell me what you’re so excited about?”
When Columbo bowed his head in shame, Socrates smiled and said “Well, if what you’re about to tell me is neither true, good or necessary, just forget it and don’t bother me with it.”
This is bullshit.
I read on this forum that Orthodox Greeks have always lived in the South of Italy. Even their faith began to change to Catholicism only under Mussolini. With all this, their appearance is significantly different from northern Italians.
Agnia Parthena!
I think you've replied to the wrong post, Anon.
Socrates is a real Greek from ancient Magna Graecia, Colombo is a Greek from Sicily.
In any case, they will have common interests, because Columbo is investigating the crimes of the elite, which in the time of Socrates would have gone unpunished.
Socrates was from mainland Greece. Magna Grecia refers to current South Italy
It wouldn't go anywhere because they don't speak the same language. Maybe they would enjoy a meal together.
Before playing Italians, Peter Falk played Greeks in John Casavetes' films.
In any case, we Russians do not consider these roles of his "vile".
One of the world's heroes, along with Batman, is the Mexican Don Diego de la Vega, or Zorro.
[Columbo] "So you say that wisdom is that which is lacking among the wise, meaning honest ignorance is superior to insincere arrogance, but how could such a thing be uttered, because it's as though you're speaking from above, completely objectively. I just don't understand how you can be so critical of the wisdom of others, due to their self-proclaimed wisdom, while also affirming your own wisdom above theirs, which is precisely the thing you're accusing these people of doing in the first place. I seem to have confused myself here, think you could help clarify this issue?"
[Socrates] "Don't you see, Columbo, that this very questioning is itself an application of the method I've been practicing all along? My claim to wisdom is founded upon this tried and true method which has not once failed me. Surely, you'd agree, that a beautiful craft owes its beauty to its craftsman?"
[Columbo] "And you're confident that this method of yours, which supposedly justifies your superiority over others, is itself capable of arriving at true opinion through its negation of falsity? I just don't see how contradiction can be used methodically to arrive at a truth that is itself beyond contradiction. Sir, while I am nowhere near as logical as you, but I know a rotten egg when I smell it."
*Sir, I might be nowhere near as logical as you
Finally, a decent post.
Columbo arriving in the middle of a Symposium complaining that he hasn't eaten all day, at which point Socrates would oblige him to eat with them, in between bites Columbo would fawn over Socrates telling him that while he doesn't know anything about philosophy, and that the furthest he got in High School was the Aesop Fables:
>But my wife, you know she reads everything, she's a great fan of yours, at the agora she and all the other ladies are always asking "what did Socrates say this week?"
To which Socrates would ask a series of questions about Columbo's wife's interest in philosophy that eventually forces Columbo to concede that he made it up as a way of ingratiating himself with Socrates, which leads to a wider discussion over motive and intention as Socrates poses different possible motives and types of murder, and Columbo would ask him what he who he would deduce the motive for the murder would be
Could be a good tie-in with Euthyphro.
I see why you suggest that. but I was thinking more Phaedrus since that is about the ability of poetry and rhetoric to move the soul, whereas The Columbo would explore the motives of the soul
The Laws?
Imagine they bond over a platonic dialogue and Columbo ends up defending Socrates at his trial.
A better question is: who would be the special guest star that plays the murderer that episode? Patrick McGoohan? Pericles? William Shatner with a beard? Diogenes?
COLUMBO: you know what I'd like now? A good old bowl of chili!
SOCRATES: by zeus, Frank, what is good about the chili?
COLUMBO: Ah you know at the diner down the road they do it with different kinds of beans.
SOCRATES: Different kinds you say?
COLUMBO: Oh yes, sir. With all dem different names I always forget. But old Bob will tell you all about it.
COLUMBO: Socrates, sir? I'm so sorry to bother you, sir, but you see I just have to ask, just to file the report. Did you corrupt the youth of Athenes at any time, sir?
SOCRATES: What does it mean to corrupt the youth?
COLUMBO: Well, I guess, you got me there. I simply don't know.
SOCRATES: Do you know anything?
COLUMBO: Only that they say you bothered pedestrians until they were confused.
SOCRATES: Do I confuse you, Inspector Columbo?
COLUMBO: I'm confused about why you're not answering my question, sir. What do you teach to the youth?
SOCRATES: Nothing. I know that I don't know anything.
COLUMBO: Mmmh... One more thing! So you're not guilty?
SOCRATES: Yes, I'm not.
COLUMBO: And you shall not be put to death?
SOCRATES: Yes, I shall.
It wouldn't go anywhere because they don't speak the same language.
