Columbo
Many criminals made the mistake of underestimating Lieutenant Columbo, a homicide investigator with a crumpled trench-coat and a beat-up car, who certainly acted as an incompetent bumbler. But he was so polite to every suspect, and he talked so much about his wife (who we never got to see on any episode, but who many believe later had her own show, starring Kate Mulgrew, later of Star Trek: Voyager fame) that he lulled even the shrewdest murderer into a false sense of security. And although the audience had witnessed the murder in the beginning of each episode, it was still a surprise to see what mistakes the killers had made during the seemingly perfect murder.
An egotistical but successful star of a TV detective show murders his blackmailing producer, and makes it look like a stickup robbery. Lt. Columbo dismantles his seemingly solid alibi.
The curator of a family-run museum murders her brother when he threatens to dissolve the financially strapped institution and makes it look like the museum's guard, who she also kills, is the culprit. Lieutenant Columbo is on the case.
A high IQ Sigma Society member murders his business partner and fellow society member when he threatens to expose him as an embezzler, while engineering a seemingly foolproof alibi. Lt. Columbo outsmarts the genius.
