Title: At least it's still Columbo.....
Review: I should begin by identifying myself as a diehard fan of Columbo. I end nearly every day with an episode or two and I'll continue purchasing these collections till I own every episode / movie. Having said that, I agree with a previous review that stated that Columbo belonged in the 70's and should have stayed there. Sure, I guess substandard Columbo is better than none at all, but these later episodes (anything following season 7) pale in comparison to seasons 1 through 7. Weak loose scripts, D list guests stars, MAJOR continuity errors, poor acting and terrible use of music all fly in the face of what the original seasons brought to the table. While I'd rather watch a bad episode of Columbo versus a "good" episode of any modern cop show any day, it's still a shame that the high standards weren't upheld.
