Season Four Available On 9/21/10......
...........Or is it ????????
Though the "official" release date for season 4 is supposedly 9/21/10, the product description on the Shout! Factory website lists a Release Date of "9/9/2010" (the season 4 set will only be sold directly through Shout!):

Also, for anyone interested in ordering the new release, you may want to be aware of the following offer Shout! (currently) has for free shipping when ordering 2 (or more) of their Shout! Select (i.e., items sold only through Shout!) titles, that ends on 9/24/10 (and seems to confirm the earlier release date):
We're currently offering a Sizzling Summer Sale!
From now through 9/24/2010, receive FREE shipping on your entire order when you purchase 2 or more of our Shout! Select DVDs, featured to the left. If your purchase includes the upcoming Rhoda: Season Four, your purchase will be held and shipped as one package on or around 9/10. Happy Summer Savings!!

UPDATE: I e-mailed www.TVShowsOnDVD.com (a website devoted exclusively to the release of tv show (and tv-related) dvds), and they responded that they were told that those participating in the "Sizzling Summer Sale" CAN get season 4 of the show prior to the "official" release date of 9/21/10.
Shout! (finally) responded to the e-mail I sent to them, and they confirmed that season 4 can be had prior to the "official" release date. They said that since the sets arrived earlier than expected in their warehouse, a decision was made to ship them out ahead of time (after receiving the 'authorization' to do so.).
