How come this great series has not been ported over to blu ray? I know they have some type of Japanese set that is on Blu ray and I heard it looks amazing. But what happened to a great all American release?!?

Oh and one more thing...I love Columbo!

Ask Mill Creek. If it ever sees the light of day, it’ll be more than likely be because of them. I vaguely remember my parents watching it when I was a kid, but don’t remember much about it. I did see a few episodes several years ago and did like them. I’d give it a watch.

I'll do you a favor and guarantee a cheap feature packed BD release by saying that I hope it doesn't happen. At least not until I watch all the mostly unopened DVDs I've double dipped of it over the years.

MR Round

There's a really good set of it from Japan thats on blu ray that you can get on Amazon, so maybe it would be easy just to port their release over here just change the menus

Sonic

They are awesome. Especially the very early episodes. You can see how things were in the 70's, cities, buildings etc. Young Columbo was so awesome, when he was at his peak as well.

Get to viewing! :

I know right they should do that! That set is expensive btw nearing $400. I can't do it. Nopes. I love Columbo very much but not enough to shell out that kinda cash. Especially when the DVD Collection Set sold on Amazon for $43 and change.

Fabulous Films, based in the UK, is releasing the entire series on blu ray early next year, along with several other Universal TV series.

E Unit

That’s very interesting. Has Fabulous Films released any other series yet?

slybone

Yep, tons. I know recent releases they did of Miami Vice, Magnum, P.I., The A-Team and Knight Rider were favorably reviewed but they do seem pricey. Here's a partial list of their film and TV releases copied from dvdcompare.

Review of Columbo Season One on Blu-ray is up at DVDBeaver:
http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film6/blu-r...ne_blu-ray.htm

Why So Blu?

Wow, looks great. For those that haven't already, get yourself a Region B player ASAP.

bruceames

For U.S. buyers it's currently $257, which is reasonable for a 35 disc set. It's definitely one of the better BD purchases I've made.

E Unit

Ha, so a lot. They look like the Mill Creek of the UK. Lot of good fun stuff they've released.

slybone

I would say that Fabulous Films is sort of Mill Creek's UK counterpart, but there is the difference in price. For example, both companies have recent releases of Miami Vice on Blu, although MC's is about 1/2 the price of FF's. Fabulous does seem to put the extra work into quality (fewer episodes per disc, better packaging) but at the end of the day MC tends to be the better value.

Sonic

Now we talking!

I just recently bought a 4K tv set and I'm in the shopping for a 4K player. I guess I need to buy me a blu-ray Region B player as well to play these new sets or will there be a US release? I sure hope so.

Sonic

Look at this bullshit:


A dead ass format. Where the fuck is my HD Columbo Blu-ray set coming out? I would kill for such a release!

Sonic

So Universal repackaged the complete set as well


I hope Universal wakes up and release a sweet HD set. Its long overdue.

Sonic

I've sent Universal Studios an email requesting them to release Columbo on Blu-ray since Japan and Australia have theirs on blu. Let's hope they will respond to my email.

whotony

I've had this saved forever but it never drops vlower then what it is now.

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...=AKR7H3HAQCM3E


Maybe the best thing on this listing in this.

"Editorial Reviews
Farewell, Colombo. A memorial version dedicated to Peter Fork. Criminal Colombo 's world' s first Blu - ray! A permanent preservation version that fully recorded 19 episodes not being released on DVD!"

bruceames

Don't order it from Amazon.com and order from Amazon.jp instead. It's only about $260.00 shipped. Still not cheap but for the amount of content the price IMO is certainly reasonable.

Almost always cheaper when you order from the country it's released in.

https://www.amazon.co.jp/Columbo-The...=AN1VRQENFRJN5

Sonic

My email to Universal was sent back to me as undelivered

Sonic

Columbo plays on weekends on regular digital television. On saturdays on Cozi. On Sundays on ME TV. On ME TV the episodes are in HD 720P. They look great. Widescreen. I know the images are clipped when converted to widescreen which is a damn shame but such is the nature when turning fullscreen to widescreen.
