TV mystery series ‘Columbo’ was so popular in Romania that when the show was cancelled the Romanian gov’t feared riots, so they had the US State Dept. ask Peter Falk to record a video message to the Romanian people, which he did by reading it phonetically into the camera
“The popularity of the “Columbo“ detective series extends far beyond the borders of the United States.
When Emperor Hirohito visited the United States in the mid `70s, he was asked whether there were any famous Americans he wanted to meet. The Son of Heaven requested two American icons: John Wayne and Columbo.”
