Product Description
From Amazon.com
Armchair sleuths, get out your trenchcoats: Universal has released the sophomore season (1972-73) of the classic detective series Columbo, starring Peter Falk as the sage but rumpled police lieutenant. As with the first season, there's plenty of star power in front of and behind the camera to abet Falk in these eight 90- and 120-minute episodes: John Cassavetes stars in the season premiere, Etude in Black, as a philandering symphony conductor, with Blythe Danner and Hollywood legend Myrna Loy in support; Oscar winner Ray Milland is a scheming orchid grower in "The Greenhouse Jungle," co-starring Bradford Dillman and William Smith; Robert Culp and Dean Stockwell are a football team manager and owner, respectively, whose disagreements blossom into murder in "The Most Crucial Game"; and Jeanette Nolan offers stellar comic relief in "Double Shock," which features Martin Landau as identical twins--one of whom has murdered their uncle. Performances by Richard Basehart, Laurence Harvey, Leonard Nimoy, Anne Francis, Anne Baxter, and Mel Ferrer also highlight the season; direction by small-screen stalwarts like Boris Sagal, Jeremy Paul Kagan, and Nicholas Colasanto ("Coach" on Cheers) and scripts by Stephen Bochco also bring quality and style to the proceedings. Sadly, no extras are available in this five-disc set, but the stellar image and sound quality (and lack of commercials) should appeal to series fans and newcomers alike. --Paul Gaita

Great.....But,,
By
This review is from: Columbo: The Complete Third Season (DVD)
As always, the video quality is very good on this series of DVD's, but where the disappointment begins, is compared with the first 2 series. I did not appreciate the fact that they "cheapened" this box set. They opted for 2 discs rather than 4 like the previous series. They decided to have 2 episodes on each side ( Side A & B ) and they sloted the DVD cases on the wrong side of the Sleeve Box,making it awkward when you place it on your shelf with the others. It does not match. C'mon guys...come back to the old format for the remaining seasons and don't be CHEAP !

Columbo - Season 2,
By A Customer
This review is from: Columbo: The Complete Second Season (DVD)
I thoroughly enjoyed this set. All the actors put in wonderful performances. One of the best is Jeanette Nolan in Double Shock. Peter Falk as usual is awesome. For me the whole feel of series keeps me watching them over and over. It's wild to see how things looked in the early 70's. The film quality and overall production is awesome. All that is missing are some special features - would be nice to see an interview / biography of Peter Falk. And now - the wait is on for Season 3!

Columbo gets his legs,
By Philémon Paquette (Ottawa, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Columbo: The Complete Second Season (DVD)
This second season Peter Falk and the Columbo team really came into its own in the Columbo series. The cases are more smoothly developed and Columbo is no longer a member of the "local police", but from LAPD. Columbo is very much like fine wine in that the first season was good and showeed promise as a winner. The second season shows the maturity of the Peter Falk and the team at putting Columbo on screen. This is Columbo worth watching for a nice little mystery solved through a marvelous questioning technique.
