Columbo Season 8
Season 8 contains only 4 episodes,(On 2 DVD's) very dissapointing. If you are a serious Columbo fan my advice would be to buy the boxed set, seasons 1-8 as this is a far better way to get hold of all those great series for much less...

Columbo - Series 8
These episodes were made 17 years after the first series, and I think you have to expect some differences. Yes, they are more padded out and if anything a little less precise on plot sophistication. It's just a sign of the times. The first four series were shorter (75 mins with a few 90 mins. features) and were snappier, edgier, and more a product of well-crafted early 1970s US TV 'tec dramas. These later episodes are almost a different Columbo from the early ones but they're still well worth watching. If you're a newcomer to Columbo I'd suggest trying the early ones first and then working your way through.....

All Columbo available at Amazon France
I have purchased Seasons 8&9, 10&11 and 12 from Amazon France. When on the menu you just choose English language and no subtitles and they play as normal. All the movies are on them right up until the last one made, Columbo likes the nightlife. If you cannot wait for them to be released here then I highly recommend these. There are 24 in total....Brilliant!

Good episodes - terrible price
The four Columbo episodes on here are good - not great compared with the original run of seven seasons - but the price is a joke. Playback are getting cheeky offering half the number of episodes compared to last time for the same price. The price of these shorter Columbo seasons (for the next seasons will be comparable, I believe) just has to come down. By way of comparison with Larry David's comic creations: "Curb Your Enthusiasm" box sets have never been priced at the same level as "Seinfeld" ones. Why? Because the seasons are so much shorter. Get with the program, Playback!
