Columbo didn't finish till 2003 when he went to a Rave in Los Angles, which was the last episode.

I was always quite partial to the pastiche / send-up of these shows in the Beastie Boys' "Sabotage" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5rRZdiu1UE) video.

Favourite cop show is just outside of the decade – 1982's "Police Squad!".
