The entire season was released in the Volume Six DVD box set on April 19, 2011 in Region 1; on June 27, 2011 in Region 2; and July 13, 2011 and Region 4. The season also marked the series move to airing in 16:9 high definition[1] on January 3, 2010 with the episode "Don't Look a Smith Horse in the Mouth".
