## Description

Product Description               It's the landmark series that inspired an entire genre. Now, television's greatest detective, Columbo, comes to DVD for the first time in this deluxe collector's set. Starring Peter Falk in his 4-time Emmy-winning role as the cigar-chomping, trench coat-wearing police lieutenant, this 5-disc collection includes every fascinating episode from the series' first season. Also included are the two original Columbo movies: Prescription: Murder and Ransom for a Dead Man. Columbo's first season features legendary guest stars like Robert Culp, Ray Milland, Eddie Albert, Suzanne Pleshette, Don Ameche, Leslie Nielsen and Roddy McDowall. It's no mystery why Columbo: The Complete First Season is the DVD set crime fans have been waiting for!                  .com               TV detective fans rejoice: Peter Falk's rumpled and infallible Lt. Columbo joins the DVD precinct with a five-disc set that features the detective's first nine appearances for NBC. Though Falk as Columbo (no first name) made his TV debut in 1967, the detective had actually first appeared on an episode of the 1960-61 Chevy Mystery Show (Bert Freed played the role) written by veteran TV scribes Richard Levinson and William Link (The Fugitive, Alfred Hitchcock Presents). The pair turned the episode into a stage play titled Prescription: Murder, which was adapted into a TV movie in 1967 with Falk in the lead. NBC greenlit a two-hour Columbo pilot (Ransom for a Dead Man) in 1971, and the series was launched that fall as part of the NBC Sunday Mystery Movie, a rotating 90-minute program that alternated Columbo with episodes of MacMillan and Wife and McCloud (another Levinson/Link creation). Viewers were quickly won over by Falk's shrewd performance as he matched wits with a host of exceptional guest stars (including Gene Barry, Patrick McGoohan, and others), all of whom assumed that the disheveled detective would never figure out their "perfect crimes"; the popularity and quality of the original series allows Falk to continue to don the trenchcoat some 30 years later for occasional Columbo TV movies.  All seven 90-minute episodes of the 1971-72 debut season are included here, along with Prescription: Murder and Ransom for a Dead Man; unfortunately, as the lieutenant himself would say, "Oh, just one more thing"--no extras are included in the set, but having these fine TV mysteries in one set should be reward enough for armchair sleuths. --Paul Gaita

    Thanks for CD's with original and uncut filming
  

*by C***O on Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2017*

This CD contains a half dozen  or so of the first season's episodes, all admirable presentations of the rumpled detective.  A primary nicety of having the CD is, of course, the absence of commercials throughout.  Whereas the reruns on certain TV channels contain the necessary ads, the CD doesn't;  moreover, there are no snippets missing whereby the producer has replaced with a commercial.  Yes, we know these are necessary , but the result is that a short but integral scene has been eliminated.  That is, the viewer considers these integral to the development or "fleshing out" of the characters or to nuances in the plot.  For example, in "Dead Weight," a recent re-run did not include a scene with Suzanne Pleshette and Eddie Albert dancing romantically after a cozy dinner at Major General Hollister's home.  As the scene fades out, we are left wondering about this budding romance, with the couple in compliance with the Hollywood production code.  This is probably just as well, as we already know that Pleshette is changing her story as key witness to a murder, as she succumbs to the Major's charm.

    "Ah, Can I Ask What You Paid For That Suit?"
  

*by B***A on Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2016*

What can possibly be said about the best murder mystery program ever created?  Columbo is the finest and most entertaining series of this genre, and it has certainly stood the test of time. Although the fashions have changed, and police work has become more scientific, I prefer watching a true detective solve the crime by using his brain. Portraying an air of disorganization and incompetence, Columbo successfully lures the criminals into a false sense of superiority and security. Meanwhile, as they let their guard down, the Lieutenant skilfully ties up any loose ends and brings the hammer down when least expected. A master of the game, Peter Falk is superb and I dare say we will never see the likes of him again.Episodes I can (and have) watched over and over again!  Thank you, Lieutenant Columbo!

    In my opinion, probably "THE BEST" 69 Episodes of any show EVER broadcast on TV . . . . . .
  

*by G***X on Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2013*

Oh yeah, just one more thing, I'm not the only person who thought Columbo was one of greatest series on TV between 1968 and 2003. The 69 episodes are all movie-length, between 73 and 100 minutes long. The series was once broadcast on over 80 networks, spanning 44 countries. In 1997, "Murder by the Book" was ranked No. 16 on TV Guide's 100 Greatest Episodes of All Time. And in 1999, the magazine ranked Lt. Columbo No. 7 on its 50 Greatest TV Characters of All Time list. In 2012, the program was chosen as the third best cop or legal show on Best in TV: The Greatest TV Shows of Our Time. In 2013 TV Guide included it in its list of The 60 Greatest Dramas of All Time. In 2013, Writers Guild of America ranked it No. 57 in the list of 101 Best Written TV Series. My wife and I have watched each single episode dozens of times and we never get tired of watching the same ones over and over again. There are very few TV shows that I can say that about. And although we already own all episodes that were ever released on DVD, we still in fact enjoy watching them again when they are on broadcast TV. I just wish I could give this DVD series more than FIVE stars. Without a doubt, it is still my favorite TV series of all time. The famous guest stars also added to the show. Some of them appeared more than once. It would be truly hard to pick just one episode as my favorite Columbo episode. You just can't go wrong with watching Columbo.
