Unlike most long-running popular American TV sitcoms, as of October 2006 The Wonder Years has still not yet been released on DVD as official season box sets, probably due to the cost of securing the music rights. Officially, The Wonder Years has so far only been released as two 'best-of' DVD sets. They are the following:
* The Best of The Wonder Years July 24, 1999 : 1 Disc
* The Christmas Wonder Years July 24, 1999 : 1 Disc
* These sets only have 2 episodes each, and do not contain the original music that was used in the original episodes. Despite that, though, prices for these out-of-print DVDs are extremely pricey -- according to Amazon.com, "The Christmas Wonder Years" DVD now retails for $74.99, while "The Best Of The Wonder Years" retails from $97.84 used to $186.99 new.

* Amazon.co.uk and Play.com have been advertising an official 'Wonder Years' DVD release for R2 since the start of 2006. The release date was first slated as March 2006, but was then changed to August and now states December. Although no further information is yet available, this release, to be distributed by Fox, will probably be the first season only, with others to follow in 2007. It must be noted that there is still no word on an official American release. [5]
