Frank Columbo was the mob guy. Lt. Columbo never had a first name.

Jack Webb played ‘Sgt. Joe Friday,’ it was ‘Bill Gannon’ who was played by Harry Morgan.

0 percent similar, I didn't go by who was Actually the Best Cop ever, I went by who I thought was the Cutest... Lol 😆🤣 and I've had a crush 🥰 since I was 5 Years Old and it was the debut of Adam-12, and Rookie Officer James Reed became Partners with Veteran Officer Pete Malloy. I Still have a crush on Him and I Still watch the show!!!
