Watching a Columbo DVD is more than great entertainment. That's because each episode of this classic mystery series challenges its viewers. Rather than trying to determine who murdered someone, viewers are instead delighted as they try to solve the mystery of how Columbo will outwit his arrogant antagonists who always bring about their demise by underestimating the befuddled detective. The show's murderers always cringed when Lt. Columbo spoke his famous line "just one more question." But viewers always grinned with delight because they knew Columbo was reeling in his prey and each Columbo DVD will allow them to watch again as the iconic television detective solves each case. Enjoying a Columbo DVD not only provides fans with a reminder of why the role made Falk a television star, but also a chance to enjoy some of entertainment's biggest names of yesteryear as guests on the show such as Faye Dunaway, William Shatner, Janet Leigh, Roddy, McDowall, Ruth Gordon, George Hamilton, and other performers. "Columbo" was so popular that the series ran on two networks, first in a rotation included as part of the "NBC Mystery Movie" from 1971-1978, and later as a series of made-for-television movies on ABC from 1989-2003. Each Columbo DVD shares stories of the devious plans despised by jilted lovers, stuffy intellectuals, military men, business people and a host of other rats who always thought they had covered their bases, only to realize the slightest of mistakes or misspoken words allowed Columbo to uncover their deception. Once describing his character, Falk labeled Columbo as an absent-minded version of literature's Sherlock Holmes, and the ingenuity that mirrors Holmes can be found on each Columbo DVD. "Columbo has a genuine mistiness about him. It seems to hang in the air . . . [and] he's capable of being distracted," Falk said. "Holmes had a long neck, Columbo has no neck. Holmes smoked a pipe, Columbo chews up six cigars a day." Just as every Sherlock Holmes novel is a testament to why the British sleuth is a literary icon, each Columbo DVD highlights why the American detective is an icon among American television cops as a result of a role that Falk made uniquely his own. The Columbo DVD compilation consists of 55 television episodes that aired on NBC and the 14 ABC movies, all which are uncut, commercial free and unedited Each Columbo DVD features excellent video and audio quality, episodes are included in chronological order on 25 DVDs, and the box set comes with custom artwork.
