5.0 out of 5 stars
Great instant collection!,
By Marcus (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Columbo - Complete Series [DVD] (DVD)
For anyone looking to collect every Columbo episode in one go this is great. Probably a bit annoying to those who have been buying the seasons one by one as this boxset is likely to be far cheaper in the long run.The outer "cigar box" looks great although the tight lid may burst at the corners as mine did. However, upon opening it is a little disappointing that the exact same design has been used for every single DVD case, and on every DVD disc. Given the length of time Peter Falk played Columbo it would have been nice to have a large range of covers from different publicity shots or scenes. Possibly even the use of special guests to differentiate between seasons would have been nice. Like Columbo himself, this is a very pragmatic display. Simple but as long as the DVDs play little else matters. The information booklet is quite interesting with some amusing anecdotes about production, Columbo and Peter Falk printed in the margins. The DVD menus are very simple. Although I'm only up to season 3 at present, I notice they have gotten a little more adventurous per season, not always adopting the same look. The visual quality and sound are very good given the age of some of these episodes. Not sure if there has been any form of remastering or clean-up prior to going on DVD, but they look very clean for 70s recordings. Overall a great set for any Columbo fan, or Peter Falk admirer. He certainly made a great character for us to enjoy. Even if 90% of the episodes follow the same methods, he never fails to provide amusement and an entertaining style of investigation. Highly recommended! RIP Peter. x

Complete but . . ..,

This review is from: Columbo - Complete Series [DVD] (DVD)
It's taken Universal quite a while to release the Complete Columbo collection in one DVD box set. This set has all 69 episodes including the two pilots "Ransom for a Dead Man" and "Prescription Murder". It also has 2 Random Bonus Episodes of Mrs Columbo. I find that a little odd as there were 13 Episodes produced.In this set there are 35 DVDs in 18 Slim DVD cases. All the covers have the same artwork with basic episode details for each DVD. Most DVDs have 2 episodes on each. The way they have been numbered is not great and there is no overall index sheet. Instead there is an eight page booklet with some information on the seasons. The DVDs are contained in packaging designed to look like a Cigar box. The problem with it is that you have to take out the entire contents unless you want one from the top. There is a ribbon to help with this. The box is quite flimsy too. It would have been much better if the DVDs had been packaged vertically spine outwards. (The new 24 - Complete Season 1-7 (Plus 24 - Redemption) [DVD] [2009]is a good example of how this can be done.) The DVDS have very basic menus which are not consistent and mainly consist of just episode selection with the option to turn on subtitles. The audio and video quality is excellent even on the early episodes but you can obviously see a marked improvement on the newest ones. Overall good to have the complete collection but falls short on presentation and special features.

Goog product, great price,
This review is from: Columbo - Complete Series [DVD] (DVD)
The boxset is great don't get me wrong but i was a bit dissappointed at the presentation eg. all covers for the dvds are the same, not relating to the season at all. I was expectiong a wooden box, but its is a vinyl on plastic. Other than that the price is great, it is the cheapast at amazon than any other retail store or online site.
