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 !

the price was twice the amount as the U.S. price which i didn,t know about because if i did ,i would have ordered thru them. So I feel ripped off, because Amazon did not even give me a discount back or off of another DVD for this problem

Fans of the original Columbo should love these DVDs. Peter Falk is excellent and with great cameo appearances by some (at that time anyway!) big names Columbo was and remains a groundbreaking crime drama in that the audience is aware of the perpetrator of the crime from the beginning. It is up to Columbo to unravel exactly how they did it! This season has one of my favourite episodes with the late Johnny Cash. Columbo still is a good ride after all these years.

Excellent, comme d'habitude!
Mais attention, cette version ne comporte ni doublage, ni sous-titrage en francais.

The great episodes of Columbo contained herein this season of discs are of course great. What really sucked was the presentation and malfunction of Disc 2, at least the one I got. It consistently skipped in the same places and was even incapable of playing the first chapter of one of the episodes...if you can't catch the first all-telling first chapter of a Columbo episode, what's the point? We sent it back and got a refund and have not ordered a replacement yet. We loved the first set as far as quality and presentation, the second set was OK, and the third was plain cheap. Doubling the sides of each disc makes it look like a previously used Blockbuster Video special...When is Peter Falk himself going to make an appearance??!!
