Columbo: Complete Series [DVD]

Product Information

It would be a major coup for Kino-Lorber to obtain the rights for disseminating it to a wide audience, but it certainly would goose the Blu-Ray sales to the Columbo-hardcore. Here’s hoping the likes of Steven Spielberg, Lee Grant, Dick Van Dyke, William Shatner, Clive Revill, Susan Clark and Trish Van Devere may pop up on the audio tracks to provide first-hand commentary on the filming of the show, too. 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. The Set is also said to include two additional versions of the featurette, with subliminal cuts by Dr.

The first of several Peter Falk “Columbo” appearances on Johnny Carson’s “Tonight Show”, 9/15/72: Falk on the couch wearing his raincoat: “Listen, Johnny, I don’t wanna plug the show…. I have many Kino Lorber blu-rays in my collection including: “Scavenger Hunt”, “Cabin Boy” and “Mad Max” and they do amazing work from cover to core. When Columbo gets released on bluray on home dvd, will it be released in the same format as when this show originally aired on NBC and ABC? Previously only a highly expensive Japanese import box set has been available on Blu-ray, which I actually owned for a bit. There aren’t really any “jokes” per se that Falk delivers, just characterization, so I’m leaning toward the bit all coming from Peter.It’s notable that the jokes aren’t riffs on Sinatra, they’re all observations that are funny because they spring from the Columbo character. They were scanned at 4K with final grading performed in HD… they look immaculate and will probably be the source of any new Blu-ray box set. Given the resurgence of interest in Columbo since the ultra-successful Rian Johnson series Poker Face acknowledged it as a major influence this year, I’d expect this updated release to sell like bowls of chilli at a Columbo Convention. 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. Despite the inconsistencies, from episode to episode, and decoupling with reality on various occasions, Columbo is always entertaining!

Thank you Kino Lorber and Columbophile and even if it’s in the 300 range the inclusion of special features makes it still a must have for me at least, in fact I’d expect it to be in that ballpark.I’ve rewatched each and every “classic era” episode on DVD AND BLU-RAY (the Japanese box) and I can confirm that the Blu-ray episodes are 100% FULLY UNCUT with no edits whatsoever! The ‘classic era’ of Columbo was given new transfers from the original camera negatives around 2011-12, the versions you see on television now in other words. I was also a fan of McCloud and to a lesser extent, McMillan and Wife, but Columbo was always my favorite of the 70s TV detectives. But it is Billy Connolly’s worthless ersatz villain in “Too many Notes” that truly marks the lowest point in the entire canon – not that you would guess that from Columbophile’s faint praise even (!
