"Columbo" is a television classic that can now be enjoyed over and over again when the Columbo DVD set is purchased from DVD Booth by taking the time to visit www.dvdbooth.com/Mystery/COLUMBO_DVD_COLLECTION/. Peter Falk created an iconic character with his portrayal of the cigar chomping detective who was always seen wearing his trademark rumpled trench coat. And though those he encountered always thought they would literally get away with murder, the Columbo DVD set demonstrates that the often bungling detective always outwitted the bad guys. Originally broadcast on NBC from 1971-1978 as part of the "NBC Mystery Movie," series, audiences enjoyed "Columbo" so much that ABC featured the detective in a series of made-for-television movies airing on that network between 1989 and 2003. The Columbo DVD set consists of 25 DVDs that include 55 television episodes first aired on NBC and the 14 ABC movies, all of which are uncut, commercial free and unedited. Along with making Falk a major television star, "Columbo" featured some of the biggest names in entertainment, each of whom can be enjoyed in the episodes included in the Columbo DVD set. Among the celebrities from movies and television that attempted to match wits with the detective were Louis Jourdan, Vera Miles, Donald Pleasence, Joyce Van Patten, Leonard Nimoy and others, making the series a spotlight for some of Hollywood's biggest names. What made every episode of "Columbo" unique was its plot structure. Each Columbo mystery reveals its murderer at the beginning, with its viewers left to figure out how the detective will determine not "whodunit," bur rather "howtheydunit." The Columbo DVD set allows fans to relieve the detective's most baffling cases, while introducing a new generation to a super sleuth who should never be underestimated. "Columbo" is a series that testifies to the truism that little things can lead to a person's downfall.
And that point is brought home with every episode found in the Columbo DVD set as criminals arrogantly think they have succeeded in committing the perfect murder, only to have a detective they dismissed take them down because of the smallest mistake. Each episode of "Columbo" included in the Columbo DVD set is not only well-acted by Falk and his celebrity guests, but also well-written and directed for hours of entertainment that rival the exploits of any other fictional detectives or even real police. Included among Columbo's investigations are episodes that were directed by future Academy Award winners Steven Spielberg and Jonathan Demme. Among the features of the Columbo DVD set that make it a must-have addition to any collection of classic television is that each episode is included in chronological order, uncut, commercial free and unedited. Additionally, each DVD features excellent video and audio quality and can be played on any DVD player, DVD-Rom, X-Box or PS2 worldwide because they are region free. And the purchase price of the Colombo DVD set is almost a crime because it's a steal
at only $49.95, a savings of $140 over the normal retail price of $189.99. For information on how to have this collection featuring the ultimate television detective delivered to your home, please visit www.dvdbooth.com/Mystery/COLUMBO_DVD_COLLECTION/.
