Columbo did quite well over here in the UK, where it had it's own regular slot. In the UK, we rotated shows by season back then, so we got Columbo in spring, Kojak in summer, Cannon in the autumn and Hawaii Five-O in winter.

In 1976, impressionist Billy Howard released a single called King of the Cops which poked fun at the US cop shows flooding our TVs at the time.
