Unpublished Columbo's The
United States Copyright Office maintains a list of literary works which
have been registered for copyright purposes, including many writings which
have never been published. A
search of the Copyright Office records reveals an interesting look at
“Columbo” scripts which have not been produced. Some of them may be
filmed and enjoyed in the future, while others may never see the light of
day. The
titles, alone, are sometimes fascinating. Columbo : News At Eleven DATE
