Home video
Mondo TV has released all of the first season episodes in 9 VHS, or 3 DVDs (these are rich in special content and some Silver-designed tables).
The second season episodes was again Mondo TV. For this edition, it did not use any VHS support, limited to DVD distribution. Of them, it has only 2 products, including the first 18 episodes (9 episodes each) and not treating any event in a casket.
The consequence of all this is that the episodes of the second Season are very difficult to find, even on the Internet. In the DVDs only contain the Italian and English languages.
