Beavis and Butt-Head: The Mike Judge Collection
Beavis and Butt-Head: The Mike Judge Collection is a series of three DVD box sets from MTV and Paramount Home Entertainment, each containing 40 Beavis and Butt-Head episodes chosen by series creator Mike Judge and special features such as interviews and music videos. The first entry in the series was released on November 8, 2005, while the final two volumes were released in 2006. In 2007, a complete set of all three DVDs was released, which included the content from all three volumes as well as the film Beavis and Butt-Head Do America. In 2012, the set was reissued as a single DVD. The Mike Judge Collection was also released in three volumes in UMD format for the PlayStation Portable. Due to the limited space of UMDs, the special features were removed and the number of episodes in each volume was reduced. On February 14, 2017, MTV and Paramount released Beavis and Butt-Head: The Complete Collection, a 12-disc set containing all three previously released volumes of The Mike Judge Collection, along with a special collector's edition of Beavis and Butt-Head Do America.
Beavis and Butt-Head's return to DVD
In July 2005, reports began circulating on various websites that a banner found at that year's Comic-Con proclaimed that a new Beavis and Butt-Head DVD was coming. The news was promptly divulged by TVShowsOnDVD.com: a new Beavis and Butt-Head DVD would be released on November 8, 2005. The set was revealed to contain 40 episodes, including the director's cuts of certain episodes and some of the music video segments. Subsequent new reports revealed that 23 of the episodes would be director's cuts, 11 music videos would be on the set, and the set would contain promos, interviews, and the first part of a new interview entitled "Taint of Greatness: The Journey of Beavis and Butt-Head".
Music videos
Beavis and Butt-Head: The Mike Judge Collection is notable in that it is one of the few times that a home video release of the show has retained music video segments. All prior VHS and DVD releases have lacked these segments except for the VHS releases of Beavis and Butt-Head Do Christmas, Hard Cash, and Too Dumb for T.V., and the last disc of the second and last Time-Life set, presumably due to the difficulty involved in acquiring music rights for the videos. This last disc, entitled Hard Cash, appeared to have made room for four music videos since it contained half the episodes (one VHS worth) of most of the other volumes (typically the combination of content formerly occupying two VHS tapes).
Director's Cut
Some of the episodes on The Mike Judge Collection were changed and edited from the original. Those changes include both "Scene Cuts" and "Line Edits."

Unreleased DVDs
The History of Beavis and Butt-Head is a DVD that was intended to release in 2002, but was cancelled at the last minute due to including episodes Mike Judge did not approve for home release. Despite this, most copies can found online. The Ninth season of the show, along with the movie Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe, was planned to be released on DVD in 2023. However, it later scrapped for unknown reasons.
