In 1971 writer Steven Bochco was brought in by producers Richard Levinson and William Link to write the first episode "Murder by the Book", directed by Steven Spielberg. Bochco, who had no previous experience writing murder mysteries or police dramas, said he received "invaluable advice" from Levinson when he told Bochco that Peter Falk and Columbo were essentially the same man. Levinson told Bochco not to write for the Columbo character but write for Falk and trust Falk to use his own instinct and creativity to deliver the story. "Murder by the Book" won an Emmy for best writing.
