I've been waiting for a Columbo bluray set for years. Somehow Japan released one 7 years but Universal can't be bother to copy that release for the US.

Wings of Desire, or Heaven Over Berlin, is a German arthouse film where Peter Falk plays himself shooting a movie in Berlin. Every where he goes, people yell "Hey Columbo!" He is also, in fact, an angel that chose to be human so he can smoke cigarettes and drink coffee at the same time because "It's fantastic!"

Columbo was popular in a lot of countries: https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1989-04-02-8903310956-story.htmlquote:The original series, which ran from 1971 to 1977, was so popular in Romania it was broadcast there twice a week. When ''Columbo'' stopped production in the U.S., suspicious Romanians thought their government had canceled the show because of import quotas. Fearing riots, the Romanian government begged the U.S. State Department to have the show`s star, Peter Falk, make a public-service announcement explaining the real reason for the demise of ''Columbo.'' Falk obliged and taped a TV spot, which he read phonetically in Romanian.

i didn't like the johnny cash episode much because he was the exact same as all the other smug rich rear end in a top hat murderers, but columbo acted like cash was really a good person at heart for no particular reason.

Cash is an artist so he is allowed to be a smug rear end in a top hat. That frankly is the main perk.

I watched Columbo for the first time a few months ago when an official YouTube channel opened with some free episodes, that was smart of the production company because now I gotta get me the whole set.

Peter Falk was a loving master. Him roasting Sinatra for 11 minutes as Columbo and not breaking character once is a blessing on this cold dead earth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_UN2S8SasY

The 70s episodes are good. The 90s and 00s episodes are usually still good but not as good. Columbo is sometimes too cartoony in the new ones. I really like the format where you see who the murderer is and how he did it and the point is just to watch Columbo figure it out while constantly annoying the murderer. I'm usually disappointed with the resolution of the murder in other detective shows that don't show you what happened until the end. I can also advise anybody who likes Columbo and hasn't read Crime and Punishment yet to go read it, because Columbo was apparently inspired by a character from the book who has a similar attitute to investigating murders.

German director, Wim Wenders idolized Peter Falk. He had a starring role in Wings of Desire.

He’s given high profile difficult cases, and some of the stuff he does the show itself points out that he wouldn’t get away with unless he had full support. One thing that springs to mind is he spends thousands of dollars of department money to rip up a high rise foundation as a ruse to draw out the killer. He’s even semi-famous in one season because of one of his cases.
