For those who may not be in the know - and those who are - "Columbo - Season 5" will be released in the US this coming Tuesday, June 27, 2006. This makes me so happy, I don't even care about Universal Home Video's mistakes such as "trenchcoats" and "Mrs. Columbo's"!

"Peter Falk dons his famous trenchcoat again as he returns in his 4-time Emmy award-winning role as everyone's favorite Police Lieutenant in Columbo The Complete Fifth Season! Join Columbo in this three-disc set as he asks all the right questions in some of the most deceptive and deadly cases. The fascinating fifth season also features such brilliant guest stars as Janet Leigh, Sal Mineo, Robert Vaughn, Ricardo Montalban, Hector Elizondo, Robert Loggia, Patrick McGoohan, and more. The landmark crime series returns, and no murderer can hide for long with Columbo on the beat!"

Thanks to TVShowsOnDVD.Com for the info! I've had my DVD player warming up since the middle of last week. Hope that's not a bad idea. It's making a strange "whirring" sound and I just fried an egg on top of it.

thanks headache.

Hi
What about release over here in the UK.:)

My DVD retailer has it in stock already.

That means pre-orders ship out starting tomorrow, and since they ship Priority Mail, I'll have mine by Friday. For pre-ordering, I get it early for $27.99.

And after what I discovered during my last visit there, Best Buy will likely have it on its shelves by the end of the week -- for the same price.

Best Buy is advertising it in their Sunday ad paper. They're offering it for $27.99 as well. Guess where I'll be Tuesday morning at 10:00? Well, maybe not exactly 10:00. Maybe a little earlier!!!

I'll be at that front door dressed in my worst raincoat, chompin' on my worst smellin' cigar, asking everyone who will get near me if they have a pencil I can borrow! That is, if my Columbo-mobile doesn't break down on the way there. Better get down to the Columbo-Cave and make sure that Mercedes of mine - (which some here may remember I painted blue/gray and clobbered with a sledge hammer to beat it up to look like Columbo's car) - will start.

Old news....

Now we await news on 'Season 6/7'.....
