Columbo
Oh, just one more thing...
Columbo is a friendly, verbose, disheveled-looking police detective who is consistently underestimated by his suspects. Despite his unprepossessing appearance and apparent absentmindedness, he shrewdly solves all of his cases and secures all evidence needed for indictment. His formidable eye for detail and meticulously dedicated approach often become clear to the killer only late in the storyline.

I can't believe there are so few reviews on this, Columbo is one of the defining detectives on television. He's so low key, so unimposing, and it's a pleasure watching him take down all those criminals that think they are are smarter than him, better than him because of, well how little and, well how wrinkled and cheap he appears.
He's the opposite of so many detectives on television these days, the everyman solving crimes.
It's just a brilliant approach to a character, and one that is fantastically fun to watch.
