Yes I saw the pilot. Columbo was definitely more serious and intense in that. For the black and white movie buffs here an interesting fact is that other candidates for the role for the pilot were Bing Crosby and Lee J. Cobb. I can also watch most of those 70s episodes over and over. They appear daily and weekly on different cable channels but unfortunately parts are cut out randomly. I have all the episodes on DVD though which I can watch uncut anytime.
