Just one more thing...
If I'm not mistaken, Columbo was not a true TV show. It was part of a movie of the week series. There 3 or 4 movies that rotated each week, resulting in a smaller amount of episodes each season.
First 7 seasons are also on Amazon Prime.

In modern TV shows they often are quick to admit guilt, faster than I think people would in reality.

Quote from mysmile4u :
I've said this before. If you are a specialist in a field, you ALWAYS have problems with a TV series. They are never accurate.
The IMDB website had forums where people would post inaccuracies. The forums were shut down. When we post stuff like that in a Facebook group for a show the moderators are likely to call it spam (that however is not the correct definition of spam). I think we need forums for people to submit reasonable and accurate inconsistencies. I think the ability to identify unrealistic stories should be taught in school. TV shows teach much garbage.

I always liked when he would act like he didn't know what he was doing than he would turn the table on them.

As for the digital deal, tough choice. I bought the whole series on DVD before the bluray set was announced, and while this is a great deal I was planning on buying the bluray set. Not much point in having the dvd and bluray and digital versions.

The quality of the blu-ray set is very good, but just note that it's only the '70s episodes. It was the definitely the heyday of the series, but I do enjoy quite a few of the '80s episodes.

Great show, great price. I love the random cameos from forgotten 70's actors and actresses. This is a good show to jump in and out of. The episodes are all stand-alone, so you don't need to binge them all in a row. My favorite episode is Suitable For Framing from season one.

I'm watching it on Tubi.com right now. They are streaming all of them, from the 1968 pilot to the terrible 2003 episode.

Some people like to watch older shows. One might say classics.

Yeah, just like wine, the older it gets - the less people like it Smilie

Columbo is the classics, I was watching it when I was ehhh 5, I didn't get anything, but the dog Dog was nice, the whole cigar culture was new for me (foreigner here). Now when I watch it - I understand the references from my coworkers better, Seinfeld is another absolute must have!

Kino is also releasing the 80s episodes on bluray in July I believe.
