Columbo: Complete Series [DVD]

Product Information

If you heart the good Lieutenant, my first recommendation to you would be to go out and buy the entire Columbo box set on DVD as soon as you’re able. Ed Begley Jr played the murderer in "Undercover" (1994) and played Officer Stein in "How to Dial a Murder" (1978).

Ray Milland appeared as a murderer in "The Greenhouse Jungle" (1972) and the husband of the victim in "Death Lends a Hand" (1971).

My late granddad loved Columbo. I've got fond memories of watching it with him if I was at his house when it was on. The restoration has been done by Universal Pictures and they're being released by Kino Lorber. The US release date is 21st November 2023. The Set is also said to include two additional versions of the featurette, with subliminal cuts by Dr. Kepple and Columbo, respectfully. Due to unforeseen issues, we can no longer include all the new audio commentaries, essay and other extras we had produced for our upcoming Columbo: 1970s boxed set.”

On Blu-Ray. com I noticed there are two Blu-Ray boxsets coming. Images are provided too, but I am not sure that will be the definitive artwork. The new boxsets will provide the sort of extras fans have been clamouring for since Columbo was first made available on DVD in the early 2000s. People forget there’s a balance between getting a bargain and making money for the charity. If someone donates something, not knowing its true second hand value, and the person pricing things up knows their stuff and realises it’s rare and will fetch a few bob, they’re not going to give it away at a basement price.But what makes Columbo still feel so relevant today is the notion of the crusading little guy. The lieutenant pursued killers regardless of class or status – even going after his own commissioner in one story – and never falters in his belief that, no matter how mighty the murderer, their amassed power won’t stand up to his relentless prodding. As he casually tells a therapist who is trying to get away with strangling his wife: “You take our friend here, the murderer. He’s very smart, but he’s an amateur. I mean, he’s got just one time to learn. Just one. And with us cops, well – it’s a business. We do this a hundred times a year. I’ll tell ya, doc, that’s a lot of practice.” I imported the Japan Blu-ray box several years ago. The ’89-’03 movies are presented in 16×9. I really like some of those later episodes (and really don’t care for some of them) and would prefer having them in the original broadcast ratio. There are a few instances where relevant information is cropped off the bottom in the widescreen versions.

I reviewed all the episodes, used and abused the 3D of GoogleEarth and I found very precise locations*… Selected items are only available for delivery via the Royal Mail 48® service and other items are available for delivery using this service for a charge.

While a Japanese Blu-ray boxset has been available for some years, its prohibitive pricing has placed it out of reach of most fans. I’m also not aware of any extensive extras on that particular set. More than merely releasing the series in glorious HD, the new boxsets will provide the sort of extras fans have been clamouring for since Columbo was first made available on DVD in the early 2000s. For the Blu-ray, each episode will feature audio commentary from experts of the day as well as archival excerpts from those involved in the production.Another thought…Columbo is always saying to the killer, “oh, my wife just loves you, she thinks you’re the greatest…” or words to that effect. Poor Mrs. Columbo…all her favorite people turn out to be killers! Must be devastating for her!!

Does anyone know what type of folding bicycle that Donald Pleasence took out of the trunk of the Ferrari in S03:E02-Any Old Port in a Storm?William Shatner starred in two episodes as the murderer: "Fade in to Murder" (1976) and "Butterfly in Shades of Grey" (1994). He also did a voiceover in "Double Exposure" (1974).
