Beavis and Butt-head: The Mike Judge Collection

Beavis and Butt-Head: The Mike Judge Collection is a series of three-disc DVD sets from MTV and Paramount Home Entertainment, each containing 40 Beavis and Butt-Head episodes handpicked by series creator Mike Judge plus supplements. The first entry in the series was released on November 8, 2005, while the final two volumes were released in 2006. In 2007, the complete box set was released, which includes the content from all three volumes as well as the film, Beavis and Butt-Head Do America: the blurb on the back jokingly says that "if you're the kind of dedicated, determined Beavis and Butt-Head fan who eagerly bought Volumes 1, 2, and 3 of The Mike Judge Collection, well, uh... you just got screwed". In 2012 the three volumes were reissued in a single DVD case format, as opposed to the earlier issues which included three DVD cases in a box.

The Mike Judge Collection was also released in three volumes in UMD format on the PlayStation Portable. Due to the limited space available on UMDs, the interviews, music videos, and other content was removed and the number of episodes on each collection was reduced.

The first Beavis and Butt-Head release on DVD was entitled Beavis and Butt-Head: The Final Judgement. It was released in the USA on July 2, 1997. The running time was 43 minutes, and the program included:

A second DVD release was attempted in September 2002. Paramount announced the release of a two-disc DVD release set titled The History of Beavis and Butt-Head, but the set was cancelled shortly prior to release. Some copies of the set were mistakenly put on store shelves, only to be immediately recalled. The set promptly became a highly prized item on eBay, selling there for prices up to US$300. The reason for the recall of the set was not immediately known, but it was later revealed that Mike Judge (who holds approval rights for video releases of Beavis and Butt-Head) had the set recalled at his demand. Judge stated that the History set contained episodes he had previously rejected for home video release, and was prepared without his consent of knowledge, leading to the recall. In all, half of the 32 episodes on The History of Beavis and Butt-Head weren't included on The Mike Judge Collections, including all but two episodes on the first disc.
