The best detective EVER!! Ive seen all of the episodes several times over and never get tired of it. I'm obsessed with Peter Falk as Columbo to the extent that I imagine being Mrs Columbo!! Also worth noting....NO-ONE has ever tried to imitate him...I mean there's been no attempt to reproduce any episode as far as I know. Clever script and superb acting makes this programme eminently rewatchable on a loop!

At last! and in HD no less. I've waited a long time for Columbo to be available on digital and it's been worth the wait. The HD version is a definite improvement over the old DVD release. We can only hope that the other seasons and two TV movies are released in the future.
