5.0 out of 5 stars It's Columbo - what more do you need?, 28 Aug 2000

By	poolie@supanet.com (Chesterfield) - See all my reviews

Columbo is by far the best of all the TV murder mystery shows out there, and this video shows why. Two excellent episodes here, with two excellent guest stars. Regular Columbo villain Martin Milner turns in a great performance. But of course, it's Faulk that steals the show. Even better than volume 1 of the series, Peter Faulk has completely settled into the role and this is columbo as we know and love him.
