A TV series starring Peter Falk (NBC, Sep. 1975 - May 1976).

A deceptively shabby police detective solves murders.

C+ (Okay).

They try to mix things up a little, with a lot of gimmicks. You can tell they're having fun on set, and I guess I am too, most of the time. But the foundation of the show is getting pretty wobbly.

A TV series starring Peter Falk (NBC, Sep. 1974 - Apr. 1975).

A deceptively shabby police detective solves murders.

B (Good).

The actual mysteries are increasingly dumb; they've long since abandoned any pretense of collecting usable evidence. But that works, because they've also clearly recognized that what keeps us watching isn't the writing, it's Falk. And by this point, this is The Peter Falk Show.

A TV series starring Peter Falk (NBC, Sep. 1973 - May 1974).

A deceptively shabby police detective solves murders.

C+ (Okay).

It's still too long, too slow, and too predictable. But I love this character, and this season spends a little more time with him.
