Mrs. Columbo (later known as Kate Loves a Mystery) is a crime drama that aired on NBC.
Each episode featured the resourceful Mrs. Columbo solving a murder mystery she encountered in her work as a newspaper reporter. Connections with the original Columbo series were made obvious: the glaring presence of Columbo's car in the driveway, Dog, and Mrs. Columbo emptying ashtrays containing the famous green cigar butts – all featured in the show's opening sequence. References were also made to Kate's husband being a police lieutenant. Lt. Columbo was never seen on Mrs. Columbo. As the series went on, the show distanced itself from Columbo and underwent a name change.
