Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Been a Columbo fan for so long, I have seen all these episodes over and over again in VHS. Already own my first season in DVD and I'm glad that it is being released the second with one hope in mind, that the seasons ahead would also be scheduled for the near future. Peter Falk is amazing, simple, funny, humble, absent minded but very smart. This is a short review I'd wish to share of the episodes included in the second season, forgive me if some information is not correct. 1.-ETUDE IN BLACK: Features John Cassavettes (from the classic "Rosemary's baby") as an orchestra director that has a love affair with one of the musicians. Great episodes that marks the debut of Lt. Columbo as a piano player. 2.-GREENHOUSE JUNGLE: Outstanding performance by Oscar winner Ray Milland (from 1945's "The lost weekend") who arranges a fake kidnaping. 3.-MOST CRUCIAL GAME: Robert Culp is featured here as a fotball team's chairman who manages to leave the stadium in the middle of a game to murder someone disguised as an ice cream salesman. 4.-DAGGER OF THE MIND: Columbo finds himself in England and helping actor Bernard Fox to solve a crime committed inside a teather. Richard Baseheart (from El Quijote) also stars in this episode. 5.-REQUIEM FOR A FALLING STAR: Another Oscar winning is featured, Ann Baxter from "All about Eve", plays the role of an actress who tries to kill a blackmailing friend. 6.-STITCH IN CRIME: Great episode it features Will Geer from the Waltons and Leonard Nimoy from Star Treck. Nimoy tries desesperately to kill Geer but finds in his way a smart nurse that puts him in trouble, and him at the same time, puts Lt. Columbo into so much trouble that he almost loses the case. 7.-MOST DANGEROUS MATCH: Another excellent episode and a great performance of Laurence Harvey who plays a chess player who finds out he would not be able to beat his opponent in a major chess championship match so he decides to murder him. 8.-DOUBLE SHOCK: What can I say about this one?, Excellent , it features the great actor Martin Landau playing a double role as the Paris twin brothers who consipre to kill their uncle. PS.- After all this, I don't need extras
