Peter Falk is a treasure

Peter Falk is a national treasure. You may know him as that pop culture icon, Lieutenant Columbo. Everyone loves the guy; that's why we celebrate Columbo day in October.

Mr. Falk will be turning 81 in September. Well, guess what? This means that we need to have at least one more Columbo movie, darn it! Unfortunately, ABC has not been supportive of Columbo's Last Case, thinking that Peter Falk is too old to draw a crowd.

They are nuts! Columbo is perhaps the most iconic of TV detectives, and a show that's billed as his final case would surely draw in large crowds. Would it draw the demographics that they want? I don't know, but I just have to believe that this would be a major television event.

And if Mr. Falk dies before somebody produces this movie, it'll be a horrible shame.
