NB – I have slightly rejigged my full rankings list after completing the review of The Conspirators. Still with me? Excellent, then let’s have a look at how the seasons compare… I’ve then totted up a cumulative score for all the episodes in a particular season and divided that total by the number of episodes in the season to get an average points score per episode. The lowest overall points score denotes the strongest season on an episode-by-episode basis. That means The Bye-Bye Sky High IQ Murder Case (my favourite) earns 1 point and the dismal Last Salute to the Commodore (adrift at the bottom) is lumbered with 45 points. Using a formula I’ve adopted previously, I have ranked every episode based on my personal preference (full list at foot of article) and attributed a points rating for each episode based on their position in the list. And while this is a question I’ve considered before, I’m now in a position to accurately assess the strength of all seven seasons, as well as the pilots. GO ME!Īs one might expect, there have been some superlative highs and some seriously dark troughs (thankfully the minority) and a lot of very-good-to-middling stuff in between. Looking back on the 70s’ seasons, which one comes out on top? It’s taken four years, but I’ve finally worked my way through reviews of every episode of Columbo’s classic era from 1968-1978.
