Its now safe to say that all 69 episodes have been screened in the UK at one time or another unfortunately the 2 episodes i have seen most often are Undercover (which is watchable but not columbo) and murder in malibu (which is one of the worst and leaves you feeling empty).
I would recommend that everyone views every episode at least once but then with some episodes NEVER go back there again. Still i do believe that every episode has got some good bits in them, tho you have to look really carefully during some.
My main problem with the newer episodes is that i find that the little things that lead columbo to the killer and build up evidence are shuffed down our throat so blatantly (zooming in when not needed) that i feel that we are treated like idiots. A major example is at the end of A trace of murder which completley ruins the whole thing.
Another point is that the best 90's episodes are hardly ever shown, this isnt good. A note to everyone at sky stop showing undercover every 2 days and show Death hits the jackpot, a bird in the hand (i like this) or even get the rights to ashes to ashes and MWTMN.
Heres a question to anyone who is reading this, would you actually watch NTTD over any other columbo episode? I seriously can say yes.
God bless,

P.S. When typing this the name was already filled in with columbo. Why?
