People forget there’s a balance between getting a bargain and making money for the charity.

Even more ideal would be an option to have that play before an episode via seamless branching. PF: You were right. Shopping is good here. There’s much to choose from. Just a moment…and this brand?

If it isn’t any better then they wouldn’t be doing it. Blue ray has ‘scrubbed up’ lots of old series. That included many commentaries from folks like Blog friends Mark Dawidziak and David Koenig. But all of that has apparently been scrapped. There were some archived interviews with Columbo guest stars planned, and those seem to be out as well. The latest statement from Kino has these as the only listed extras: Season 1 was released in the UK, by Fabulous Films. However, due to poor sales, they never did release anymore. This first release covers all the 1970s episodes. The second release (date TBA) will cover the episodes from 1989-2003. While a Japanese Blu-ray boxset has been available for some years, its prohibitive pricing has placed it out of reach of most fans. I’m also not aware of any extensive extras on that particular set. More than merely releasing the series in glorious HD, the new boxsets will provide the sort of extras fans have been clamouring for since Columbo was first made available on DVD in the early 2000s. For the Blu-ray, each episode will feature audio commentary from experts of the day as well as archival excerpts from those involved in the production.

The Set is also said to include two additional versions of the featurette, with subliminal cuts by Dr. Kepple and Columbo, respectfully. Apart from that, any Peter Falk talk show appearances or award speeches would be fun. Gotta wonder if any deleted or gaffe footage has survived. If so, seems like this may be the best opportunity to unearth them. May your Sunday bring you as much joy as Columbo found at the celebrity poker game in ‘Uneasy Lies the Crown’ 🙏🏼😄 According to Frank Tarzi, VP of Acquisitions at Kino Lorber, there are two Columbo boxsets in the works: one featuring the ‘classic era’ 1968-78 episodes; and the second containing the 1989-2003 revival episodes.

The first of several Peter Falk “Columbo” appearances on Johnny Carson’s “Tonight Show”, 9/15/72: Falk on the couch wearing his raincoat: “Listen, Johnny, I don’t wanna plug the show….” There's a balance, absolutely, but I see some utterly outrageous prices in charity shops these days. Rumour has it that the Kino Lorber Columbo Blu-Ray Set will include several exciting extras. Among these will be Dr. Bart Kepple’s original, uncut 35mm featurette “Nothing Happens Until Someone Sells Something,” in a stunning transfer. My only comment is that I love Columbo so much that there is no such thing as a bad episode. There are only 69 made between 1968 and 2003 and I treasure every one of them. I only have 14 left and I wish there were many more.

The ’89-’03 movies are presented in 16×9. I really like some of those later episodes (and really don’t care for some of them) and would prefer having them in the original broadcast ratio. There are a few instances where relevant information is cropped off the bottom in the widescreen versions. Previously only a highly expensive Japanese import box set has been available on Blu-ray, which I actually owned for a bit. If I post all the links for these, I’ll be unable to submit the comment, but I’ll keep trying. Otherwise, you can scour youtube for these items that can go on a wish list, things you may have already been aware of, but let’s get them in Blu-Ray quality: There’s a clip somewhere of Falk on Carson, excited about the upcoming 1974 “Exercise in Fatality” episode and “new writer” Peter Fischer.
