Synopsis
One of the most famous detectives to ever hit the television screen, COLUMBO (Peter Falk) has become an iconic character in popular culture. Forever clad in a raincoat and chomping a cigar, the dishevelled Columbo seems as scatterbrained as his appearance would suggest. However, even when it appears that his investigation is going nowhere, Columbo's keen mind is absorbing details and clues, until finally he reveals that he knows everything that's happened. Each episode opens with a murder, followed by Columbo's investigation, and finally his revelation of how he put the events together. COLUMBO became popular and famous for its clever dramatic structure and Peter Falk's winning portrayal of the detective. Features series one to eight of the show.

3.0 out of 5 stars a legend in the cheapest outfit, 28 May 2009
The DVDs are what you expect and Columbo is a legend so no need to comment on that.
I only gave a 3-star rating because of the packaging - it is as cheap as it gets. DVDs are in identical paper sleeves, no labeling not even and indication of the season and disc number. Also I noticed the DVDs scratch easily in the paper sleeves.
I would have been happy to pay an extra fiver and get a decent box like you get with any other series.
In the end I bought some cheap plastic DVD boxes separately and this works fine.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great value but unbelievably poor packaging., 19 May 2009
By H. Thomas (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It has been mentioned already but i am still absolutely amazed at just how poor the packaging is. I have over 300 dvds and this "boxset" is comfortably the worst packaged i have ever seen!

Basically you get a box which contains 13 plain black card sleeves just loose in the box. Inside these sleeves are the discs, mostly 2 discs per sleeve. The sleeves are just like the ones you get with a free cd/dvd from a newspaper/magazine. Only even worse because none of the sleeves has ANY writing on that enables you to distinguish between them. No episode listings, nothing that says what the sleeve contains, not even so much as the word "Columbo" on them! In short, the packaging is only fit for the bin so have a dvd folder ready to put the 25 discs in.
