Universal has been releasing the Columbo - Mystery Movie Collection on DVD. This DVD boxed location continues where the last one left off with installments that were produced in the 1990s. When I initially posted this review, I made an error and listed the episodes expected in the NEXT DVD boxed area, not this one. Thanks to Mike, Tom and Michael Todd for correcting this information.

For some viewers, these latter installments of the dirty-trench-coat-wearing, cigar-smoking sleuth are less satisfying and well-crafted than the recent series, but for me, ANY Columbo is better than 99 percent of the fresh TV roster.

The six mysteries in this boxed status were the last to be produced in the miniseries format, meaning the episodes each rush about two hours, while the remaining Columbo mysteries produced were originally shown as one-shot 90-minute movie length specials and are yet to be released on DVD.

Collected here are:

Columbo Cries Wolf (which originally aired Jan. 20, 1990) : Two legal iconic soap opera actors, Ian Buchanan and Deidra Hall, star in this episode as feuding business partners. Hall ends up uninteresting and Columbo has to employ all of his skills to “disclose” the crime.

Agenda for Abolish (which aired Feb. 10, 1990) : Fantastic actor Patrick McGoohan who has wowed fans since the 1960s Anguish Man, is also a end friend of Falk’s. That’s very lucky for Columbo fans, because he has graced the series with some of the most memorable episodes of the series. This time out, he directs AND stars as a mighty attorney who has political aspirations - and a great secret. Soon, a longtime blackmailer is expressionless and Columbo is matching wits with an attorney who has never lost - until now.

Rest in Peace, Mrs. Columbo (which aired March 31, 1990) : In an unique episode, Columbo is the target in this episode. A vengeful woman wants him to pay for the death of her husband, whom Columbo arrested for execute and whom has recently died in prison. Peek out for a classic Columbo twist at the extinguish.

Uneasy Lies the Crown (which aired April 28, 1990) : Iconic TV writer-producer Steven Bochco (illustrious creator of Hill Street Blues) wrote this tale about a dentist who does away with a patient - who impartial happens to be his wife’s lover - in a creative contrivance.

Columbo Goes to College (which originally aired 12/09/1990) : Columbo is on campus as a guest lecturer on criminology. His visit coincides with the machinations of two rich and arrogant frat boys (portrayed by Justin Rowe and Cooper Redman) who exhaust “remote control” to raze the professor who’s threatened to expel them. The harmful killers flaunt their radiant superiority before the seemingly unimaginative Columbo, who they are timorous to learn is a lot smarter than he looks. View for the knowing actor Robert Culp (I Glance), who himself has portrayed a execute in three prior Columbos.

Some of the mysteries yet to be released on DVD include: Caution: Kill Can be Perilous to Your Health (which originally aired 02/20/1991) ; The Kill of a Rock Star (which originally aired 04/29/1991) ; It’s All in the Game (which originally aired 10/31/1993) ; Butterfly in Shades of Grey (which originally aired 01/10/1994) ; and Undercover (which originally aired 05/02/1994) .
