About Mrs. Columbo
Mrs. Columbo ended on March 19, 1980, after its second season on NBC. The series was a short-lived attempt to continue the "Columbo" universe with a new lead character, separate from the original Lieutenant Columbo. It aired for a total of 12 episodes across two seasons before concluding its run.
Mrs. Columbo was a drama series that aired from 1979 to 1980, centered around Kate Callahan, played by Kate Mulgrew. The show portrayed her as a part-time newspaper reporter who frequently became involved in solving crimes, despite the off-screen controversy about her connection to the original "Columbo" series. The premise was a departure from the traditional detective story, focusing on her personal and investigative adventures in a crime and mystery setting.
The cast included Kate Mulgrew as Kate Callahan, Henry Jones as Josh Alden, Lili Haydn as Jennifer "Jenny" Callahan Columbo, and Don Stroud as Sgt. Mike Varrick.
