Oh, and just one more thing. If you’re looking for the original Columbo run, you can pick up the recently released Blu-ray collection of Seasons 1-7 at Walmart for $77. You’ll want to have both of these matching sets to get the whole Columbo experience.

Columbo: The Return

If you’re unfamiliar with Columbo, the classic mystery show had a simple premise. While most shows in that genre were focused on unraveling the clues to determine who had committed a *******, Columbo showed you how the deed was done before the detective even appeared. The real treat was watching Columbo piece the clues together, wear down the suspects with his gentle demeanor, and find a crucial piece of evidence to connect them to the *******. Always polite and relentless in his pursuit of justice, Columbo was a huge departure from the rule-breaking detectives seen on film and TV.

Columbo’s first run on TV ended in 1978, but a little over a decade later, Peter Falk was chomping on cigars as the charming sleuth when the series returned in 1989. Older and wiser, these episodes were just as great, and included high production qualities, occasionally deviated from the usual Columbo formula, and saw him outwit really terrible people. Some of the standout episodes here see Columbo taking on arrogant magicians–not the first time!–a Hollywood movie director, and Williams Shatner as a homicidal radio DJ. Special features haven’t been announced yet for this Blu-ray collection, but all the episodes have been remastered in 1080p.

Columbo: The 1970s

The Seasons 1-7 box set comes with an original series score and a booklet, although the audio commentary tracks for each episode which were previously announced for it were later cancelled for unexplained reasons.
