Brilliant show. Him and his missus were living in a caravan while they built their house. A mix of Grand Designs and To Kill a Mockingbird.

When was this on?
Belushi was a fan of Banacek, with George Peppard as a Polish-American detective. That passed me by too!
I can't watch daytime telly though, so I miss a lot out.

Spielberg one next

So many particulars. So many questions.
less squinty and craggy is young Falk. as keen columbo fan kabbes observes, theres a bit more of an edge to him. His one-more-thinging is rawerGot given the 35 disc (

If Falk is quite different in the first pilot from how he plays Columbo later, that's because the original pilot was an adaptation of the stage play, which is where Columbo originated. On stage he was played by a different actor. From the second pilot onwards they started to tweak the character, so he gels better with Falk's more easygoing personality. I like the second pilot better and that's because I've always been a fan of Lee Grant, who plays the murderer in it.
The DVD boxset is great, though with all the other stuff I'm watching it will take me a lifetime to get through it all.

Is this the one? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Columbo-Complete-10-Season-Collection/dp/B005UXJNPU
I saw another version that says complete 12 seasons - but this says complete 10 seasons.
Also saw another version of the linked one that was double the price, wtf?

My favourite box set is my Homicide: Life on the Street box set. It looks like a filing cabinet, and pulls out like one (it has a little metal handle on the front), and inside there are filing cabinet-style dividers with information about each season. It's

thats the one thing about going digital only, no cool boxes or shonky 80s VHS art covers. I even threw out the Bruce Lee VHS tapes. Even the bruce.

The Columbo box set apparently has a booklet - a booklet! With anecdotes and stuff about production and what not. I miss booklets.

I also have them all on DVD...I love the extra episode (end of season 4 I think) where we finally meet Mrs Columbo. I'm rather fond of the episode where there is a aerial photo that has been cut into pieces and half the cast has been in the show before.

Aye, she's played by Kate Mulgrew (Captain Janeway from Star Trek Voyager) and she's doing a bit of investigating herself.

There was apparently a spin-off called Mrs Columbo and it was shit. To be watched for amusement rather than as any kind of 'canon'.
