On December 6, 2016, VEI re-released the complete series in a condensed, 20-disc edition. The discs were all compiled in a single, jumbo DVD case (the original complete series edition was released with each individual season contained in five individual DVD cases).

The pilot, which starred Michael Jai White and Christina Vidal, was shot for UPN, who passed on the show.
