Description

Legendary Peter Falk is a four-time Primetime Emmy® Award-winner for his iconic role as the beloved, trenchcoat-wearing Police Lieutenant Columbo. Columbo is the landmark series that inspired a genre. Every criminal, every innocent victim (and some not-so-innocent ones), and every wily deduction are here in one definitive collection. All 69 episodes from its seven seasons and all 24 television movies are together in this 34-disc anthology. Seemingly befuddled but always brilliant, the cigar-chomping detective will have you following the clues and asking "just one more thing" until the last case is cracked.Bonus Content:Columbo: Seasons 1 - 4: Bonus Episode: Mrs. Columbo "A Riddle for Puppets"Columbo: Seasons 5 - 7: Bonus Episode: Mrs. Columbo "Caviar With Everything"America's Top Sleuths]]>

  • Columbo episode running times
"Columbo" is by far one of the greatest TV Series' that's ever been made and it was a totally unique TV Series too.

Columbo: Mystery Movie Collection 1989-1990 is stored in a plastic DVD case that holds 6 discs. Columbo: Mystery Movie Collection 1991-2003 is stored in a plastic DVD case that holds 6 discs. None of the discs share the same side of any of the disc holding trays and none of the discs overlap any of the discs either. All 34 discs are single-sided. The picture quality is sensational and the audio quality is magnificent too. ... show more

  • Paper ASMR / Carbon Monoxide / Mrs. Columbo
Another reviewer mentioned Columbo's "humbleness" and I have to agree. He let jerky people be jerks and he just listened instead of sassing back or showing his hand. He didn't argue with jerks until he had all the information he needed. I've started trying to follow this in my personal life: just smile and listen and don't try to show off or prove you're better (why worry? Columbo knew he was better than the murderer intelligence-wise and morally). Be humble, listen more than you speak and smile, smile, smile. You might find that quite rapidly you're day-to-day life will improve. First, the boring technical stuff as of March 2018: The discs play just fine. I'm a librarian, specifically an audio visual cataloger and I deal with people bringing me DVDs that "don't play" yet look fine. The discs play just fine on our computers and test DVD player. Usually the problem is someone with an old player--worse yet--an old player that's never had its lens cleaned. We pop the same discs into a computer or new/clean player and they work fine. So: there are no authoring problems on the discs I've played so far, although it does happen. Recently I bought the NCIS 1-14 season set and season 6 wouldn't play in any player! These are full frame videos that are probably the old 4:3 aspect ratio? This means there are no black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. There is no pan-and-scan weirdness. Just a nice, full screen video just like it originally looked when it aired on TV. There are only 2 episodes per disc and only 6-8 episodes per season: because the episodes were 1.5 to 2 hours long. So every 3 or 4 hours you have to get up and change the disc. Each season fits in a normal width case. The cases are the clear/frosted clear cases. Let me tell you: as an AV librarian I've had hundreds of broken black DVD cases, but only 4 broken clear cases (they were run over by a delivery truck). These are quality materials, not cheap thin garbage. I catalog around 100 DVDs per month and this set is top quality material-wise. However, DVD sets can be reproduced at one factory in large numbers, then a year or two later sent to a different factory to be reproduce-so you never really know from batch to batch of the quality. As of March 2018 the quality was top notch. Some of the discs (but not all) have advertisements, however a pop-up notice tells you right away to just hit "Menu" to bypass these advertisements if you don't want to watch them. The only thing you cannot bypass is the FBI anti-piracy warning screen. Sort of hidden bonus episodes: I didn't notice at first, but after watching both episodes you go back to the menu screen, however on the last disc of season 3 there was a little thing that said "Bonus Episode". I almost ejected the disc, but clicked on that episode and was treated to an episode of "Mrs. Columbo"! There are 3 of these episodes throughout the set: look at the back of each season's case and they tell you which seasons have these episodes. It's really easy to miss them! Mrs. Columbo was played by an actress (Kate Mulgrew) who was WAY too young to be married to the detective. There was also a very young daughter. If you just imagine her to be the (barely) adult daughter of Columbo it's less un-believable. The actress later played the captain on one of the Star Trek TV shows called Star Trek Voyager. I'm not saying a charming man like Peter Falk couldn't get a beautiful young wife, but it was sort of established in the show that his wife was about his age (middle age+) although maybe the detective just said that to trick a suspect. Donald Pleasence is the bad guy, but in the Mrs. Columbo episode he is really humorous, which is nice because in the Columbo episode he was in, right in that same season, he was sort of mean, weird and sad (as a character). Through most of the first season the killer leaves an important clue behind and the walks out of the scene...only to return and grab the piece of evidence at the last second and then re-exiting the screen. It was a neat trick that they stopped doing before season 2. As the seasons progress Columbo's shoes get worse and worse. By the first episode of season 4 you see his shoes up close a lot in the episode and they barely look like shoes anymore. That episode also marks the first time Columbo angrily accuses a suspect sort of early on in the episode. The next episode though is really, really funny: he drives his terrible car to a junkyard murder scene and they think he's there to dump it off; later he goes to a soup kitchen and they think he's homeless. Columbo's cough: he adds a weird 'fake' cough to his questioning routine...just as his car is getting worse and worse and spitting out more smoke. Maybe he was getting carbon monoxide poisoning from his car? PAPER! PAPER! PAPER! All my life I've loved feeling and writing on crinkled paper. Almost every episode has crinkly paper, scribbling and writing. If you are a graphophile or paperphile you'll love this show. The way he palms his notes on scraps of paper. I met a parent with a child with autism and they LOVED the feel of paper. I found them a stack of different kinds of paper to fold and touch and they loved it! There is a relaxation technique (popular on YouTube) of watching videos of people playing with paper and smoothing lightly crinkled butcher paper, etc. I know it sounds crazy, but it's called "ASMR" and if you love all the paper-handling in the show you'll find great enjoyment on Youtube, just search "Paper ASMR" or "Crinkle ASMR". Oh, uh, just one more thing: a lot of the murderers utilize various phone systems and answering machines to aid in their alibis. That gets sort of annoying, but it's still neat seeing that old technology (not just the old landline phones, but like reel-to-reel answering machines and computer punch card programmed answering machines, etc.).

  • Great Series
I used to watch this show in prime time, now I'm able to see them all over again whenever I want. I never get tired of 'Uh, just one more thing'. Even you knew 'whodunnit' at the begining of the show, it was interesting to see how he solved the crimes.

  • I Love the old Columbo Series
So far I’ve finished watching the original series up to 1979. Many legendary episodes with some directed by not yet famous Steven Spielberg and Steven Bochco. I ordered the entire series, but I was only shipped seasons 1-4. Amazon quickly fixed it by sending me the complete series. So far all DVDs have played flawlessly. I don’t like when DVD box sets stack DVDs, but no problems yet. Great acting by the legendary Peter Falk as well as by the long list of actors trying to commit the perfect “murder”. Special effects are used at a minimum (and not needed) in this original “how to catch ‘em” series. ... show more
