Falk is a Genius
By icewarrior67 (7 reviews) from Lewisham , 26 Jul 2005[Highly rated reviewer]
Peter Falk gives one of the greatest performances of an actor playing a TV detective. The difference with this detective is not guessing who is the murderer. But rather how long they can go before they give themselves away from the constant questions from Columbo, who hides in his shabby coat, with a bumbing personality, a fierce intellect ready to get his man. Roddy McDowell guests in a fantastic episode who is caught in a typical Columbo way. Also in this collection, is the first episode, the pilot made in 1968 3 years before a proper TV series was made. Not only does Peter Falk look alot younger, but with his usual mannerisms which would become famous for his character, this younger Columbo has a much more harder side to his personality as he tries to break down an accessory to the murderer. I've certainly never seen Columbo be that hard hitting with his questioning. Still - its all good stuff and he is rightly one of the best TV detectives.- Was this review helpful to you?

(17)Brilliant BUT.....
By BadJUJU (29 reviews) from London , 09 Jan 2012[Highly rated reviewer]
Why some discs only have one episode on them, is unbelievable!!!!!!!! Very annoyed. Somehow I had never seen Columbo so decided to rent them and they are amazing, but wasting an entire rental on a single episode is infuriating!?! I'm hoping s2 collection is not like this??- Was this review helpful to you?

Fantastic as always
By a customer from Near Chester, England , 29 May 2011Imagine my horror when I realised that my 13 year old son had never seen Columbo!! He is a fan of detective stories and series but I had obviously not been doing my job as a mother. So I decided to rent out Columbo for him more so than myself. Needless to say, he is now a Columbo fan. So if there is someone you know who has had a deprived childhood, fix it, rent Columbo and make their lives complete and it's always worth another look for those who grew up with it on TV- Was this review helpful to you?

what the heck?
By a customer from London , 01 Jul 2010I absolutely love Columbo and Peter Falk and each episode is a little slice of heaven.
But what's with the season 1 boxset and the decision to put 9 episodes onto 6 discs???? There's no special features so receiving disc 4 with only 1 episode is incredibly annoying. It's the same with discs 5 and 6. Stupid.- Was this review helpful to you?

Entertaining in small doses
By a customer from Halkirk , 07 Jul 2009This series is very entertaining but like all series, if you watch too many at a time, they seem very similar to each other!
Worth watching.- Was this review helpful to you?

By a customer from Basildon , 01 Feb 2009I know these originally were shown around the late 70's 80's but they are still brilliant to watch.- Was this review helpful to you?
