About Columbo: The Final Years:

Columbo is the landmark series that set the standard for the murder-mystery genre. The original run ended in 1978, but the series triumphantly returned in 1989 with an older and wiser Columbo! Remastered in 4K by NBC Universal, Columbo: The Final Years stars Peter Falk in his award-winning role as the cigar-chomping, trenchcoat-wearing police lieutenant. This Blu-ray boxset includes the final 24 episodes of this enduring classic that ran from 1989-2003.

The incredible wealth of guest stars includes Little Richard, George Hamilton, George Wendt, Anthony Zerbe, Anthony Andrews, Ian McShane, Patrick McGoohan, Juliet Mills, Tyne Daly, Faye Dunaway, William Shatner, Rod Steiger, Billy Connolly and many more.

Before acting Peter Falk had applied to become a CIA spy and a rifleman. He reluctantly became an actor to the chagrin of his father who told him “You are going to paint your face and make an ass of yourself all your life.

Peter Falk wasn’t the first choice to play Columbo and when he was offered the job he wasn’t keen on being tied down to a series. However, he was in need of some cash having been swindled by his manager out of $100,000. So, he accepted the role and Columbo went on to win a staggering 13 Primetime Emmy Awards across its 10 seasons!

Columbo: The Final Years is now available on Blu-ray.
