Title: Not Up To Standards
Product review: I own seasons 1 through 5. Seasons 1 through 4 are great (see my review for season one) But this....this is a lemon big time. Incomprehensible plots, bad acting. Boring. I had to go back 3 times to figure out why the Leslie Nielsen character was murdered and still couldn't figure it out. And why would an audience put up with a magician who takes 20 minutes to escape from an underwater tank? Why did Ricardo Montalban murder his trusted assistant, you don't find out until Columbo solves the case. And why was Colunbo wearing his rumpled outfit while vacationing in Mexico? I thought his clothes were a ruse to make the suspects lower their guards.Lousy writing, boring episodes, the writers ignored the formula which made Columbo so enjoyable. Skip season #5.
