Tenafly for the 1974-5 season of the Wednesday night edition of the mystery wheel series.
In the prime of
Columbo, they adapted a new version of
Ellery Queen, and in the years following they co-created with Peter S. Fischer both the popular series
Murder, She Wrote and the short-lived
Blacke s Magic. (After the death of Mr. Levinson, Mr. Link teamed up with David Black to create
The Cosby Mysteries.)
After the first season of
Columbo, Levinson and Link left the daily grind of the series. Though they continued to be involved through conversation with the new producers and with Falk sometimes supplying clues, story ideas, or other elements their break from the day-to-day of the series enabled the two collaborators to focus in particular on made-for-television movies.
