Columbo is 50 years old. A global smash in the 1970s, it is now a
cult TV favourite. What is the reason for this enduring popularity?
In this fascinating exploration of a television classic, David
Martin-Jones argues that Columbo reveals how our current globalised
world of 24/7 capital, invasive surveillance and online labour
emerged in the late 20th century. Exploring everything from the
influences on Peter Falk's iconic acting style to the show's
depiction of Los Angeles, he illuminates how our attention is
channelled, via technologies like television and computers, to
influence how we perform, learn, police and locate ourselves in
today's world. Columbo emerged alongside shows like Kojak and The
Rockford Files, but re-viewing the series today reveals how
contemporary television hits from Elementary to The Purge continue
to shape how and why we pay attention 24/7.
