Hawaii Five-0 Season 4 Rumored for June 08

Hawaii Five-O DVD news: Rumors for Hawaii Five-O - Season 4 | TVShowsOnDVD.com

Per tvshowsondvd.com, CBS Paramount is looking at June for a season 4 release, coming 5 months after the January season 3 release.

This season had another great 2-hour espionage thriller with Wo Fat, along with a number of great guest stars. Some highlights: Buddy Ebsen guest stars in a great episode about a traveler's check scam, Herbert Lom guest stars in the season opener as a millionaire who is implicated in a murder, and Jackie Cooper has a nice turn about a man who is framed for a murder by a devious doctor. Also, one of my favorite all-time episodes is featured this season, about a clever psychopath who leaves cryptic clues announcing his plans to murder someone and Five-0 must race the clock to figure out who the victim will be.

While not quite as strong as seasons 2 and 3, it still is a very solid season packed with a number of great episodes, and completes 1/3 of the 12-season series. This also marks Kono's last season, and recurring characters Duke and John Manicote make their first appearances starting this season.

Bravo to CBS Paramount for putting out 4 quality releases in the span of 16 months. Let's cross our fingers and hope the next 4 seasons are equally fast (season 5 has the classic 3-part Vashon episode).

I am in for season 4. Might have to NetFlix it for season 5 and onward. The Kono years seemed the best to me, just so happens. I know the creator of the series died during season 5. Maybe thats why it lost some steam for me.

Re: Hawaii Five-0 Season 4 Rumored for June 08

I am fully expecting that to occur somewhere around season 5 or 6, and will continue to purchase them even if they double the price because I love it so much. THere are very few other shows I can say that about. Hopefully the sales attrition between seasons is below 50%.

I'm in at least until season 8 or 9. I think I can live without the last couple of years, certainly the 12th and final season.

Now confirmed with a release date of June 10th. Also with the coolest box art yet!

With this eye-catching artwork and a release coming just 4 1/2 months after Season 3, it's clear someone at CBS/Paramount loves this show.

Wow! Love the sunset artwork. It really IS eye-catching. I also like the fact that the release date should be right around the same time that a certain online etailer has their semi-annual 20% off sale (fingers crossed).

Re: Hawaii Five-0 Season 4 Rumored for June 08

The upcoming S4 release will be a definite purchase for me-- I am a huge "Five-O" fan myself, and I already have 1-3, so #4 should fit in quite nicely.

This is now up for pre-order at Amazon.

And perhaps one of the mods could change the subject title...seeing as it's release is no longer a rumor.

Re: Hawaii Five-0 Season 4 Rumored for June 08

I am still working my way through Season 2, but I am happy to see this show on such a fast track for its releases. It's a much better problem to fall a little behind instead of being frustrated by a slow release schedule or having a favorite series abandoned.

Re: Hawaii Five-0 Season 4 Rumored for June 08

TV Shows On DVD should be getting a shot of the rear packaging any day now, given how many of CBS's other June DVD's have had them appearing on the site recently.

There's also a rumor on the Five-0 home page based on comments from a studio insider that Season 5 is being prepped for mid-November/early-December. Season 5, as all Five-0 fans know, features the classic mob story arc 'V For Vashon', one of their greatest storylines. Hopefully this rumor is accurate. That means we would have 5 seasons in 20 months, and be almost at the halfway point in the series.

Wow...thanks for the heads-up. That is excellent news!

As predicted, here's the rear cover art for Season 4 courtesy of TV Shows On DVD.

Of course the standard CBS DVD editing disclaimer is present, but I can't think of anything off the top of my head from Season 4 (i.e. songs) that would have clearance issues.

Re: Hawaii Five-0 Season 4 Rumored for June 08

I'm in for a couple of more seasons anyway. I think the show really hit its stride in season 3. Better stories,peformances etc. A little disappointed in the lack of any special features since the first season but given most of the cast is gone maybe that's understandable.

Re: Hawaii Five-0 Season 4 Rumored for June 08

Well honestly I like s1 thur s4 the best , but I continue to buy the show till about s8 when the quality writing and acting really drop off. Honest it would be nice to have QUALITY extra features and episode commentaries, but sadly 98% of the people involve with Hawaii 5-0 are dead, and honestly Ive watch and listened to TOO MANY "extra features" that have nothing to do with the series Im watching, make you wonder if all hollywood peeps are nuts, on drugs or both and have left me with the feeling how can I get that 30 minutes of my life back, I honestly dont miss the extras all that much. Honestly what Im looking for is HIGH QUALITY VIDEO AND AUDIO captures first and foremost, like S1-S3 of Hawaii Five-0 have, if some cool relevant extra features are included in the price that cherry on the top of the sunday , but if it a budget choice between extras or high quality captures , I vote for high quality captures hands down

Re: Hawaii Five-0 Season 4 Rumored for June 08

Were there many episodes from seasons 1-3 edited for the DVD sets? I read on the IMDb forum I think, that there weren't many or many clear edits. The running time for most episodes on Region 2 are 49 minutes or over (source: the BBFC) and on Region 1 they're around 51 minutes. So there can't be many edits. I've answered my own question!

Very much looking forward to the R2 release of season four on 1st September. That and the hopeful announcement of season five on TVShowsOnDVD (including the front and rear artwork and Jack Lord episode promos news) I hope come before the end of this year.

I'm kind of uncertain about getting #5 myself, because I'm approaching the end of Kono's run, and I think that Kono was a huge reason why I purchased the first four seasons' worth. To me, "Five-O" stands to lose something without the original quartet of Steve, Danno, Kono, and Chin Ho. Sure, Danno and Chin Ho will stick around a little longer (Chin Ho to 1978, and Danno to 1979), but I'm still unsure about purchasing any more seasons now that Kono will be out of it.

Re: Hawaii Five-0 Season 4 Rumored for June 08

Richard, thankfully these episodes have been primarily edit free. One S2 episode was withdrawn from circulation after the initial airing and is not included and there are various 2 hour MOW that are presented as 2 part episodes here. However these releases have retained the original music and lengths for virtually all the episodes.

I plan on buying these for as long as CBS/P will release them. In my opinion, Kono is not a pivotal character for me.

Re: Hawaii Five-0 Season 4 Rumored for June 08

24 seconds were edited from the season 3 episode "Trouble in Mind" near the beginning after the opening credits. It was one of the songs sung by Nancy Wilson (the other 3 songs were included).

The only other alteration I have noticed is the same that has occurred in the current syndication package: the opening credits from season 1 are re-used in seasons 2-4 (they are supposed to say 'Dan Williams' instead of 'Danny').

If you are not sure whether to get season 5 or not, I have 3 words that should convince you to: V For Vashon. This is the classic 3-parter that was arguably the best storyline of the entire series.

Re: Hawaii Five-0 Season 4 Rumored for June 08

Is there an Hawaii Five-O episode guide?
I vaguely remember an episode of a series program in which the detective has to reluctantly let a scientist die who has become poisoned with a weaponized bacillus. The scientist has to be immolated (burned alive) or he will contaminate everyone. For some reason I think it was an episode of Hawaii Five-O, although I can't say for certain. Do any of you knowledgeable fans remember this story line?

I think the episode you are referring to is a two-parter from the second season, "3 Dead Cows at Makapuu", now available on DVD.
