Oh, just one more thing, mystery mavens--get ready to be mystified and entertained by the award-winning third season of Columbo, starring Peter Falk as the rumpled but unbeatable Lieutenant. Having taken home Emmys for outstanding limited drama and lead actor in its '71-'72 debut season, Columbo was again named best drama for its third season ('73-'74). The reason for the repeat success? The formula remained the same: intelligent, engaging scripts and direction, guest performances by top actors, and, of course, Falk at center stage as Columbo, the most unlikely of supersleuths, but unquestionably one of the sharpest (the role would later earn Falk three more Emmys between 1975 and 1990). The 10 episodes compiled in this two-disc set again feature top talent from film and television: directors include veterans Jeannot Swarc and Boris Sagal, as well as actors Nicholas Colasanto (better known as Coach from Cheers) and Ben Gazzara (Falk's frequent co-star in the films of John Cassavetes), while the season's scripts feature contributions from Stephen J. Cannell, Steven Bochco, and Larry Cohen. And in regard to co-stars, Falk matched wits with the likes of Donald Pleasance, Martin Sheen, Vincent Price, Robert Culp (in one of four turns on the series), Jose Ferrer, Ida Lupino, and in two novel but effective casting choices, Johnny Cash and hard-boiled mystery scribe Mickey Spillane. And there's even a bonus feature in the form of an episode of the spinoff series Mrs. Columbo, starring Kate Mulgrew as the Lieutenant's oft-mentioned better half. In short, it's 11 hours of solid sleuthing for armchair detectives. --Paul Gaita

 Columbo - The Complete Second Season January 6, 2009
My husband and I enjoyed "Columbo" many years ago when it was originally on television. Therefore we were especially pleased when we discovered it is now available on dvds. It continues to be a favorite entertainment. Columbo's talents for solving the "unsolvable" are still relevant today. We are "seasoned" citizens and prefer most of our entertainment at home. Thank you for making these classic programs available.
Columbo-Third Season December 24, 2008
For all you mystery fans and fanatics, I don't have to tell you nobody does it better than Lt. Columbo. All the seasons in the series are good but the third season, in my opinion, is one of the best. With players such as: Martin Sheen, Jack Cassidy, Vera Miles, Jackie Cooper, Johnny Cash, and Robert Culp, how could anyone not sit back with a glass of wine and enjoy every one of these episodes.
If you never watched the series or only saw 1 or 2 episodes and were thinking about getting one I suggest starting with the complete third season. You won't be disappointed.
Columbo Season 2 December 23, 2008
