I'm surprised this doesn't seem to have been mentioned before. Aren't there any other fans of the dishevelled detective here?

Loved him!
Actually I'm hoping to pick up some of his seasons on DVD.

I also have enjoyed watching him over the years. He really knows how to play that bumbling detective card well. I love how he lets his suspects think that they are smarter than him, and who can resist that rumbled coat and clunker he drives....

Now if only we could see him and Monk team up!

I've got the first three seasons on DVD. Can't wait until the fourth one is out!

Oooh, oooh, oooh, I got a belated Christmas gift yesterday (long story) and it was Season 1 of Colombo.
I am very excited and will be looking to collect more.
How many seasons in total were there?

There were eleven seasons in total, although some of the later ones only have three episodes. There were also a handful of TV specials.

I really like the first season, although it's not my favourite. My favourite episode in it is probably Short Fuse.
