Before returning to the television fold in the '80s with a string of successful TV movies, Peter Falk's Lt. Columbo concluded his network sleuthing with eight episodes that aired between 1976-1978; these final two seasons of the original Columbo series are packaged in this no-frills boxed set that should be a welcome addition to any armchair detective's collection. Quality-wise, the performances, writing, and direction in these eight episodes are as top notch as any that preceded it, with a host of terrific guest stars doing their best to match wits with the lieutenant in a string of complex mysteries. William Shatner gives a typically juicy turn as a demanding TV actor facing blackmail in the sixth season opener "Fade in to Murder"; Theodore Bikel and Sorrell Booke (The Dukes of Hazzard) are friends, business partners, and bitter rivals in "The Bye-Bye Sky High IQ Murder Case" (and watch for Jamie Lee Curtis in a bit role as a waitress); the great Ruth Gordon (Harold and Maude) shines as a wily mystery writer in the seventh season's "Try and Catch Me," while a host of fine character actors (including the late Mako, Richard Dysart and Michael V. Gazzo) have reasons for wanting food critic Louis Jourdan dead in "Murder Under Glass," and a very young Kim Cattrall helps Columbo unravel a mystery involving mind control and trained dogs in "How to Dial a Murder." The talent behind the camera in these episodes is equally impressive: Jonathan Demme helms "Murder Under Glass," while Leo Penn takes the final episode, "The Conspirators." As with all of the original Columbo shows (and many of the subsequent TV movies), the episodes presented here are smartly written, crisply acted by a quality cast, and anchored with sly charm and deceptive strength by Falk's Emmy-winning performance. Previous Columbo box sets have included an episode of the spin-off series Mrs. Columbo as an extra, but no such supplement is included here. --Paul Gaita

This set concludes the tremendous Columbo run of the 1970s. Later movies and Columbo's return are crap, but this set is the real deal. Perhaps the most poignant exchange in the series' entire run is contained in the episode "The Bye Bye Sky High IQ Murder Case". Towards the episodes conclusion, Columbo and the perp exchange stories about their pasts. Columbo recounting how he worked so hard to become a detective and the perp revealing the difficulties faced by highly intelligent people. Great ... Read More

We have all the Columbo Series that are available because we're big fans. They're entertaining with Columbo's easy-going style and the mystery is always good to watch unfold.

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.

Part of the fun of watching a "Columbo" episode is the banter between the wily detective and the witty murderer. The episodes on this compilation provide a showcase, not just for star Peter Falk, but for the guest "killers" that run a very eclectic blend. The best of these are: (1) "Old-Fashioned Murder" with Joyce Van Patten perfect as a spinster museum curator that commits double homicide; (2) "Try and Catch Me" with Oscar-winner Ruth Gordon as a mystery writer that commits a murder of revenge; (3) ...
