DS9 s6e19 "In the Pale Moonlight"
I think Colombo would figure a way to not be murdered (he did that many times in the show).

/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

This would be a show I would watch .... every episode is Garak coming up with more complex, nefarious, unsuspecting ways to kill Colombo ... and Colombo coming up with even more complex ways to avoid being killed
Every show starts with them giving friendly intelligent banter between one another.
Every show ends with them exchanging polite salutations and a smile as they turn and walk away with a frown and deep thoughts.
Columbo would just have a unfortunate Gak based chocking accident on the promenade where everyone could see it was a unlucky tragedy
Columbo: Just one more question, Mister Garak, and I won't take up any more of your time - you're clearly a busy man.
Columbo: See, the only thing I can't get through my head is that you're a tailor here on a starbase, but there never seems to be any customers in here. Come to think of it, I've been here for over a week and I haven't seen anyone around wearing your work. Now, why is that?
Garak: Detective, my customers value my discretion. It's my stock in trade. You see, they're very private.
Columbo: I suppose that includes the unnamed fellow that provided an eye-witness account of the murder, but seemingly nobody can find him now?
Garak: Especially that one.
Perfect summation of both characters.
Thank you. You happened to poke at two of my favorite characters.
