VHS - There have, apparently, been some copies of all 104 episodes, as well as extras, released on VHS. The unfortunate thing is that most are bootleg copies. Some bootlegs are made up mostly of "off-the-air" recordings from TV Land complete with grainy video and the network's logo. There have been occasional copies that were made directly from 16 mm film prints. To date there has never been an official Warner Bros. VHS release.

LD - None.

DVD - To the joy of the fans of the series, Warner Bros. has released every season of The Adventures of Superman on DVD! Each box set is available online or at various retailers.
