Since its been nearly three and a half years since season 3 was released, I pretty much already know the answer to the question I'm about to ask.

But has anyone heard any rumors of season 4 and 5 being released?

Season 4 was released in France last month, and I've read that its likely going to see an Australian and German release. Is the United States and Canada going to miss out on seeing this fine series reach its conclusion on DVD?

Does the French release have an English track?  When will it be released in Australia?

Yes, it has a English track, also has English subtitles available as well. And I haven't heard any confirmation of an Australian release, just rumors.

Last info I had was that A & E gave up on the title & the Michael Landon estate was trying to get another company to release the remaining seasons.  Doesn't seem likely though.  It's also no surprise the series didn't do well for A & E since they charge excessively high prices per season, with big bulky sets that take up too much shelf space and all contain EDITED episodes!  Too bad a decent company didn't release it from the get go.  Probably would have sold much better.

It's a pity A&E have a number of titles in limbo, I have a suspicion it's NOT because of any poor sales, they just simply abandon and give up the ghost on their releases. Some after one season, like the British anthology show Thriller, though extras for later seasons were filmed. Only they know the reasons, but they do appear to lose interest way too soon.

I was very upset with heavily edited 45 minute episodes(each episode is missing nearly 5 minutes of footage) on all three seasons. I still bought them all.  It's a great show.  A&E has given up on it.  Even though I'm trying to distance myself from buying foreign releases, I may pick up the French release of season 4.

I was upset by the edits too, especially since some scenes shown in the episode previews at the beginning aren't even in the episode.  I have the first two seasons.  I bought them used off ebay since I refuse to spend the $70 + retail they were asking.  If I find a good deal on season 3 I'll buy that too.  And yes, according to what I heard, poor sales were A & E's reasons for discontinuing the series. 
Isn't season 4 the one with the teenage werewolf spoof episode?  I would so love to see that again.

i like this show, but, i remember looking at it few years ago and they wanted to much money for the show. So, i held off and look at other shows.
