Notably, a bare bones "Best of" DVD was released by DiC and Lions Gate Entertainment. Like many other DiC cartoon DVDs released during this time, upon loading the DVD menu Inspector Gadget inexplicably appears to guide the user on how to use the DVD. By pressing a "Help" button, Inspector Gadget would describe all the functions of the DVD menu, including how to play episodes one at a time or back-to-back, and how to turn the subtitles on or off (using a menu screen whose only function was to turn on English subtitles). The DVD also featured a trivia game hosted by Gadget and a commercial for future DiC DVD releases. The trivia game was played to unlock a hidden bonus feature.

Famous quotes containing the words home, video and/or releases:
“This is not only a war of soldiers in uniform. It is a war of the people, of all the people, and it must be fought not only on the battlefield but in the cities and the villages, in the factories and on the farms, in the home and in the heart of every man, woman and child who loves freedom.”
—Arthur Wimperis (1874–1953)
“We attempt to remember our collective American childhood, the way it was, but what we often remember is a combination of real past, pieces reshaped by bitterness and love, and, of course, the video past—the portrayals of family life on such television programs as “Leave it to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best” and all the rest.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
“We need a type of theatre which not only releases the feelings, insights and impulses possible within the particular historical field of human relations in which the action takes place, but employs and encourages those thoughts and feelings which help transform the field itself.”
—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
