When I was a child I could watch it only in TV, an unfortunately we have a lector guy (which I think is not po****r in other countries), so that means: you hear the background, the original voices of the actors (so at least I could hear how Peter Falk actually sounds like), but it is covered by one guy who reads all the characters (no matter if men or women, children or adults - only one guy is reading for everyone). I always wanted to watch in original with subtitles. When I was older and changed my living country I managed to buy a box of DVD with original voice (there were no subtitles in my language) so now I watch it in original English with English subtitles. Which is definitely the best for me and since then - I discovered a lot of new things in Columbo :)
