DVD

I enjoy good storytelling. I enjoy mysteries and crime stories. I enjoy good characters dueling eachother with wits and speech.
So not surprisingly I love Columbo. Peter Falk as Columbo is an iconic character in TV history.
I will therefore this summer watch all Columbo there is and write a review - and add information about each episode.
A great task indeed, but I have big hopes that I can accomplish it. Besides I have been wanting to rewatch all of for some time now, and by box set is just standing on my shelf doing nothing! My Columbo collection is not complete, I need a few more of the "mystery set" of movies, alas they are hard to come by in Norway.
I will first take a look at what counts as the original tv show, starting at the first episode. If anyone want to join in on this endouver - please do!
I want to make concepts and cliches like "murdered by poison" etc. Or perhaps this allready exists? I shall find that out in due course I suppose.
...ah just one more thing.
When I complete this I will continue on with  the british WW2 crime show "Foyles War". So if anyone has any ideas about that, get in touch!

I couldn't stand him when I caught the show once. The titular character's so smug and verbose. Though, maybe it's a inclination of favouritism that comes with time and persistence. 

Columbo  is pretty good and the amount of guest stars they had on that show was impressive. 

Good luck!

@mylifeforaiur: @Tartarus: @Dylabaloo:
All my contributions to Columbo has been rejected. Apparently a mod found it too long and I should be more brief and not give so much detail.  To that makes no sense when it comes to crime, mystery and detective show, but hey...
So I fear my grand endouver is over.

Any advice to give me?

Columbo is no Jessica Fletcher. I'm just gonna throw that out there.

@BFeld: I hear you! 

@Mariasu: 

Never fear, you probably weren't putting the beefy information in the right place, it seems silly that your contribution was turned away for giving too much detail; perhaps it was formated in a wall of text fashion, if so add paragraphs and screenshots if possible as they are excellent for breaking up long pieces of text. 

Now stage 1 of editing, once you head to the episode of Columbo you want to scribe about, i'll use this one as an example, click edit; now the section you can write in at the top is for a brief synopsis, i'm gonna guess thats where you put your write up but hidden secretly below it is where you can unload all that information. If your unsure how to format the page have a look at the already written up pages such as Gort's fantastic work on Star Trek.    


Thankfully Rorie and Co, did a video if my description has confused you, skip to about 9 minutes in and they'll address your problem.

Now since that video they added a set of Rules/Guidelines for how they want things formated, its all explained in this thread.

Don't give up, Columbo your heart out!

Edit: Also never be afraid to pm a Mod and ask him for greater detail why he rejected it and what you can do to fix it, they're pretty nice guys.
