For those that doubt Lt. Columbo's first name was Frank, if you zoom in on his photo i.d. (he only flashed it a few times) on DVD, there's his name "Frank", plain as day… ;-) |

The only Frank that I recognised (apart from Columbo) was Cannon played by William Conrad. |

Furillo is my favorite of all the TV cops. Portrayed as a real person with 'real person' problems and
issues, quite a departure from the norm of 35 plus
years ago. |

That's Captain Furillo to the likes of you, Ed. :) I've been in law enforcement a very long time and still believe Hill Street Blues to be the most accurate portrayal of policing in America. |

Choctaw, I agree, with Barney Miller for second place. |

Lt. Frank Bullitt !!. Steve McQueen, a badass 68 Mustang (that just sold for $3.4 USD million) and a great chase scene. |
