Mrs. Columbo is a lively 1979–1980 mystery series that spins off from the classic Columbo world, spotlighting the long-mysterious wife of the famous lieutenant. Played by Kate Mulgrew as Kate Columbo (later just Kate Callahan), she’s a sharp, energetic young woman juggling suburban family life with raising her young daughter and working as an investigative reporter for a local newspaper. With her natural curiosity and keen instincts, she constantly stumbles into—or dives headfirst into—suspicious situations around her neighborhood, workplace, and everyday encounters, turning overheard conversations or odd clues into full-fledged crime-solving adventures.

Mystery fans will enjoy the show’s blend of domestic charm and clever detection: Kate isn’t a cop like her husband, but her nosy reporter skills and determination make her an irresistible amateur sleuth who pieces together puzzles the authorities might miss. Episodes deliver standalone whodunits full of twists, red herrings, and satisfying reveals, all wrapped in that classic late-’70s TV vibe of relatable characters facing intriguing dangers right in their own backyards. It’s a fun, character-driven ride for anyone who loves smart, everyday heroes cracking cases with wits and persistence.
