Over 50 years old yet still peerless In its writing, acting and perfect pacing. If only they still made TV as well executed as this. Very few episodes fail to enthral and Peter Falks portrayal of the central character is iconic. The humour and the intellect he put into the performance is magnetic and timeless. The incidental music has aged, but gives it a nostalgic feel and there is no doubt this will be repeated forever. There are an abundance of brilliant cameos from a host of famous and not so famous actors. Most of all the scripts, plots and dialogue are top notch and its a shame there just doesn't seem to be the same quality in todays TV.
