I'm still waiting for season three to appear on the shelves at my local bookstore. It's so much cheaper to buy from them than from Amazon. On the upside though.. they did seem to order several copies of season 1 and two, and even though many of them are still sitting on the shelf.. I'm hopeful that season 3 will be ordered by them soon too.
I e-mailed Universal about Season 4. Here's their response, which came quite quickly.

Well thanks for the info, Headache, or I guess, lack of. That really stinks. Here they have a show that was so terrific, with so many fans across the world, and they are dragging their feet. Ridiculous! I wonder what the sales were from the 3 seasons that have already been released? Maybe they weren't good? But I don't really understand that. There are too many people out there that love Columbo...why would it be a slow sell in the dvd sales?
