Oh, just one more thing, mystery mavens--get ready to be mystified and entertained by the award-winning third season of Columbo, starring Peter Falk as the rumpled but unbeatable Lieutenant. Having taken home Emmys for outstanding limited drama and lead actor in its '71-'72 debut season, Columbo was again named best drama for its third season ('73-'74). The reason for the repeat success? The formula remained the same: intelligent, engaging scripts and direction, guest performances by top actors, and, of course, Falk at center stage as Columbo, the most unlikely of supersleuths, but unquestionably one of the sharpest (the role would later earn Falk three more Emmys between 1975 and 1990). The 10 episodes compiled in this two-disc set again feature top talent from film and television: directors include veterans Jeannot Swarc and Boris Sagal, as well as actors Nicholas Colasanto (better known as Coach from Cheers) and Ben Gazzara (Falk's frequent co-star in the films of John Cassavetes), while the season's scripts feature contributions from Stephen J. Cannell, Steven Bochco, and Larry Cohen. And in regard to co-stars, Falk matched wits with the likes of Donald Pleasance, Martin Sheen, Vincent Price, Robert Culp (in one of four turns on the series), Jose Ferrer, Ida Lupino, and in two novel but effective casting choices, Johnny Cash and hard-boiled mystery scribe Mickey Spillane. And there's even a bonus feature in the form of an episode of the spinoff series Mrs. Columbo, starring Kate Mulgrew as the Lieutenant's oft-mentioned better half. In short, it's 11 hours of solid sleuthing for armchair detectives. --Paul Gaita

First, the good news. This DVD has 2 of the very best Columbo episodes. "Swan Song" and " A Friend in Deed" have excellent story lines, even for today. Child sex abuse,groupies, adultery and domestic violence are handled with tact and class. The points are made without being vulgar. The episodes aired on network TV in the 70's. Both are very well written. Did the writers win any Emmys? I must admit, I was hoping Johnny Cash got away. You see why celebreties and people of prominence feel they can ... Read More

An excellent set of episodes. Most of these were aired when I was 2 and 3 so it was good to see shows of a favorite of mine. Peter Falk was made for the part of Columbo. The star studded line up is amazing. Blythe Danner (Gwen Paltrow's mom) is one of the stars and you wouldn't believe how closely they look alike!

The second full season of Columbo is great just like the first season. I can't wait to purchase the remaining seasons. I watched all the shows years ago when they were on TV so now can enjoy them again.

It depends on one's preferences, though. I grew up with Columbo, my whole family watched it, and still watches it. I've seen some of them 5 times. It's a classic, got its unique style, either you love it or you don't, I do.
