Columbo was an American crime television show that was originally part of NBC's Sunday Night Mystery Movie series. The show starred Peter Falk as Lt. Columbo, a quirky, but experienced LAPD detective who was seen solving primarily murder cases through his carefully-worded questions and his powers of observation. Each season of the series consisted of several feature-length episodes that would air throughout each year and the show would continuously air from 1968 to 2003. The series would be released on DVD under several different season designations, but the episode numbering here reflects the entries as seen on the IMDB.
