I have a 4K TV and 4K player both with HDR, my Columbo dvd's look good upscaled so not been compelled to rush out and buy upgrades as yet.
I'm familiar with that problem too :))
Most of the titles I own both as physical media and as digital downloads are upgrades though. If I own a film on DVD that I want to upgrade, I often just buy the digital download instead of purchasing the Blu-ray.
This just popped up on my feed.
I always felt the hatred between Columbo and Robert Conrads character was intense.
Everyone seems to be on their game.
Hence why we can re-watch them so
Often and always be entertained .
It's been several years since I did a full revisit of the show, very much like Star Trek ToS and Next Gen I leave Columbo alone for a long period so I forget aspects of the show and makes the rewatch all the better for it. I do the same with Bond and classic movies.
I am getting more disciplined with my spending, its way to easy to click purchase on streaming services :)) There are films I bought years ago that I have not watched yet.
I don't think I ever watched that, was it a Scottish detective series?
It joins my Rockford files, Dept S
And A team box sets.
You might possibly be thinking of Hamish Macbeth.
James Garner was great I watched his TV shows and films a kid. I have a few seasons of the A Team on dvd in storage, I watched several episodes of the A Team a few months ago on TV late at night I cant remember which channel. It was the season the Hulk Hogan appeared in. Must have been around Wrestlemania or Wrestlemania 2. 1985 - 86, when Mr. T was wrestling with Hulk.
Complete collection of The Saint with my favourite , good old Roger. I even have the Return of the Saint, and just like Alan Partridge I do love the Theme.
:))
I have the full colour series Boxset of The Saint with Sir Roger on DVD though not the Black and White series. I have the Partridge dvd Boxset and other DVDs though not including the This Time series 1 and 2.
Its been decades since I watched Ian Ogilvy as the Saint.
I have several films I have yet to watch too. When I want to sit down and watch something, I often go for something I've already watched and that I know I like – such as Columbo!
Monarch of the Glen is a series I've forgotten all about until you brought it up now, @Thunderpussy. I remember watching the series on Saturday nights as a kid. Here in Norway, the series went under the name Kar for sin kilt (A Guy for his kilt).
It almost sounds like a sitcom translating the Monarch of the Glen to that, but Monarch of the Glen wasn't that translatable, I guess. :))
The three faces of Jack Cassidy
Sorry if this has been posted before.
I wonder if she inherited his coat.
He kept it at home (not in the Smithsonian as was rumoured) and it his was his own coat even before he started filming so anything's possible.
That was shown here in Norway. Also McCloud (a favourite for many) and McCoy. Under the moniker Detektimen, they would air Friday night some weeks at the time. That is also where Columbo aired, of course. Other shows included Cannon, Kojak, The Rockford Files, Baretta, The Persuaders, Ironside, Paul Temple, Lord Peter Wimsey, Ellery Queen, Gemini Man, The Saint, the list goes on.
Helped in keeping it fresh over the years.

Always been a big Mickey Spillane fan. Great to see him as the victim here.
Jack Cassidy was an excellent Columbo villain.
That was intense.
Yes, that was a terrible fire that robbed us of a brilliant actor.
And he was only 49. Great actor. He's in one of my favorite Jack Kelly episodes of MAVERICK playing a real weasel.
