Wiki suggests that all 16 Columbo murderer portrayers are still with us.
As for Mission: Impossible, my recollection of I Am Not Spock is that Nimoy
asked out of his contract. Clearly something didn't sit right with him, but I
don't recall anything more specific.
YMMV, but I am most looking forward to the Get Smart episode at midnight
(eastern?).

In my immediate grief I did forget to note that Nimoy was a surviving Columbo
murderer - one of my favorites. There were 47 murders on the "original" Columbo
(NBC, counting the pilots). Nimoy was the 31st of these to die, leaving 16,
listed below (this is all based on Wikipedia and IMDB information, I could
probably use some "Dead/Not Dead" confirmations on some of these, especially
Michael McGuire).
- Lee Grant
- Susan Clark
- Honor Blackman (part of a murdering duo)
- Martin Landau
- Vera Miles
- Michael McGuire (part of a duo)
- Robert Conrad
- Dick Van Dyck
- Robert Vaugh
- George Hamilton
- Hector Elizondo
- William Shatner
- Joyce Van Patten
- Theodore Bikel
- Trish Van Devere
- Clive Selsby Revill
I recall a lot of bashing of Nimoy on Mission: Impossible, perhaps in part
because Nimoy himself was said to be unhappy with his roles there. But I always
liked Paris on M:I. I have the original series on DVD - I may try to find some
time over the next month to watch the Paris episodes.
