Give your own top season some serious thought, won’t you? My full rankings list
It’s a fun experiment, though, so do have a go and let me know your own season rankings in the comments section below. However, it should be noted that this formula only works based on my personal preferences, so every fan’s list could be very different depending on the weight you give to individual episodes. I’m not a big fan of season 7 ( Try & Catch Me and Make Me a Perfect Murder excepted) and season 5 features relative dud A Matter of Honor and the BILGE that is Last Salute, so it’s no surprise to see them propping up the rest. As I’ve always suspected, the strength across the board in season 4 edges it for me personally ahead of season 1, which is hampered by a couple of lesser lights (notably Short Fuse).

5 episodes ( Try & Catch Me, Make Me a Perfect Murder, Murder Under Glass, The Conspirators, How to Dial a Murder) in 8th, 19th, 33rd, 36th and 39th positions in my list. 3 episodes ( Bye-Bye Sky High IQ Murder Case, Fade in to Murder, Old Fashioned Murder) in 1st, 31st and 43rd positions in my list. 6 episodes ( Now You See Him, Identity Crisis, Forgotten Lady, Case of Immunity, Matter of Honor, Last Salute) in 11th, 20th, 29th, 34th, 41st and 45th positions in my list. 6 episodes ( Negative Reaction, Troubled Waters, A Deadly State of Mind, An Exercise in Fatality, By Dawn’s Early Light, Playback) in 6th, 14th, 17th, 18th, 23rd and 27th positions in my list. 8 episodes ( Publish or Perish, A Friend in Deed, Double Exposure, Any Old Port in a Storm, Swan Song, Candidate for Crime, Lovely but Lethal, Mind Over Mayhem) in 3rd, 7th, 12th, 15th, 21st, 25th, 38th and 42nd in my list. 8 episodes ( Double Shock, A Stitch in Crime, Most Crucial Game, Etude in Black, Greenhouse Jungle, Requiem for a Falling Star, The Most Dangerous Match, Dagger of the Mind) in 4th, 10th, 22nd, 24th, 26th, 29th, 37th and 44th on my list. 7 episodes ( Suitable for Framing, Murder by the Book, Death Lends a Hand, Lady in Waiting, Blueprint for Murder, Dead Weight, Short Fuse) in 2nd, 5th, 9th, 13th, 28th, 35th and 40th in my list. 2 episodes ( Prescription: Murder and Ransom for a Dead Man) in 16th and 32nd positions in my list. In the updated list, Blueprint for Murder has moved up two spaces to 28th and By Dawn’s Early Light has moved up one space to 23rd. 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.
