Yes. I think the real ingredience is that the culprit is rich and has a beautiful house and Colombo is the underdog bringing them down.

Not just rich but often “smart people”. They might be professors or scientists etc.

I think my favorite aspect of the show is how there are still societal remnants of the fancy, Victorian era customs and Columbo uses breaking social norms to put people off-balance.

I loved his old car. I think it was a Volvo?

The show reinforced what I believed at the time--money dosen't buy happiness, and don't judge people by how they look.

Now--as an aging person--a bit of money would make life easier?

Beautiful for the era. Most of the houses on that show are a riot.
