Title: Big Disappointment
Product review: I have enjoyed the first four seasons of Columbo very much. Excellent stories and very enjoyable acting. Unfortunately, season five does not follow that same trend. The stories are trite and the acting is below par. Actors that performed very well in previous seasons episodes (Jack Cassidy, Robert Vaughn) seem to have become bored and unimpressed in this set. Even the maestro, Peter Falk, is below par. He has become bumbling and boring in most of these episodes. Also, it seems as though the stories were based on 30 minutes worth of ideas stretched out to 90 minutes. What happened? How could such a clever show change so dramatically? I felt season four was great. Maybe everyone was tired of doing it by season five. If this is what I have to look forward to in season six i won't be buying it.
