Columbo: Mystery Movie Collection 1994-2003 (DVD, 2012, 3-Disc Set)

I bought this DVD as the final piece of my Columbo collection. While everyone loves the bumbling, forgetful Lt. Columbo, as the series went on he became a caricature of himself. Going back to the beginning of the show, namely the pilot episode ("Prescription: Murder"), the viewer sees a not-as-polite Lt. Columbo, who I loved and wish the writers kept that way. Even though it was always a cat-and-mouse type of show and the viewer (and ultimately Lt. Columbo) knew who the murderer was, it became too much with the "oh yes, sir" and "oh, one more thing." Those lines were run into the ground. And while I understand it's a case of "happy wife equals happy life," having Shera Danese (a/k/a Mrs. Peter Falk) in two of the episodes in this boxed set was a mistake as she's a horrible actress. The best episode, however was the one starring George Wendt as an owner of prized horses who kills his degenerate-gambling brother.

Works great! my husband has been enjoying these, good price! :-) Very pleased! AAAA ++++ wonderful! :-)
