Sorry, not buying it."]] Line 12: So they cast Kate Mulgrew (later of ''[[Star Trek: Voyager]]''), who was middling-tall, slender in build, redheaded, ''and'' about twelve the first time Mrs. Columbo was mentioned by her husband. We suspect drugs were involved. When ''[[Mrs. Columbo]]'' failed to perform as hoped, the show was [[Retool\|retooled]] under the new title ''[[Kate Columbo]]''. Kate divorced her husband and carried out her amateur sleuthing under the auspices of her new job as a small-town newspaper reporter. We suspect drugs were involved. The series was eventually retitled ''[[Kate Loves a Mystery]]'', and then died. In all, only about a dozen episodes were made, ~~possibly~~ giving ''[[Mrs. Columbo]]'' one of the highest titles-to-episodes ~~ratio~~ratios in TV history. [[Levinson and Link]] (creators of ''[[Columbo]]'') have [[Word of God\|emphatically maintained]] that Kate Columbo is ''not'' the unseen wife of their character, but the wife of some other detective of the same name. During the filming of the first post-''[[Mrs. Columbo]]'' episode of ''[[Columbo]]'', they joked that they were considering having Columbo mention in passing that "some crazy girl" had been running around impersonating his wife.▼ ▲[[Levinson and Link]] (creators of ''[[Columbo]]'') have [[Word of God\|emphatically maintained]] that Kate Columbo is ''not'' the unseen wife of their character, but the wife of some other detective of the same name.
