Yo! All you Columbo fans. Here's a bit of "WTF?!" for you. In 1979, they did a spinoff of Mrs.Columbo. It started, at the age of 24-25, Kate Mulgrew (Star Trek Voyager, Ryan's Hope, Orange is the New Black).

So technically speaking, when Columbo talks about his wife, he's speaking of a 25 year old Kate Mulgrew. 🙃😲

Why they didn't have her be Columbo's daughter or something...

YUP, seen an ep way back in the 90s. I’ll call that “Columbo Legends.” didn’t show up on the main program

This lil one-minute clip (Mrs. Columbo, s2e4) is so so extremely important to me.

Neither of them had been on Star Trek yet, and seeing Janeway and Garak talk about space together warms my heart so so so much
