Didn’t peg Columbo as the “cradle robber” type. Maybe he just prefers a submissive relationship where he’s constantly under threat of being Tuvixed. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
They retconned her as not Columbo’s wife and changed the name of the series to Kate Columbo for season 2, because even they realized that Columbo’s wife wouldn’t be a hot novelist.

I think automation is gonna clean a lot of this right up.
we’ll be left with drones, and drone carriers. maybe a few humies on the drone carriers to do whatever can’t be outright automated on at sea. and there’s really no good reason to be a surface ship if all you’re schlepping is drones.
