 Other famous TV Bassets are the wisecracking Cleo from "The People's Choice", and the sheriff's dog Flash in "The Dukes of Hazzard".In the television series "Columbo", Lieutenant Columbo owns a basset hound named Dog.Originally, it was not going to appear in the show because Peter Falk believed that it ‘already had enough gimmicks’ but once the two met, Falk stated that Dog ‘was exactly the type of dog that Columbo would own,’ so he was added to the show and made his first appearance in 1972's "Étude In Black".
