It’s the landmark series that inspired an entire genre. Now, television’s greatest detective, Columbo, is yours to own! Starring Peter Falk in his four-time Primetime Emmy-winning role as the cigar-chomping, trench coat-wearing police lieutenant, this five-disc collection includes every fascinating episode from the series’ first season. Also included are the two original Columbo TV movies: “Prescription: Murder” and “Ransom for a Dead Man.” Columbo’s first season features legendary guest stars like Robert Culp (I Spy), Ray Milland (Dial M for Murder), Eddie Albert (The Longest Day), Suzanne Pleshette (The Bob Newhart Show), Don Ameche (Cocoon), Leslie Nielsen (The Naked Gun movies) and Roddy McDowall (Planet of the Apes). It’s no mystery why Columbo: Season One is the DVD set crime fans have been waiting for!
