** [[S02|Season 02]] also seems to have never been officially released on home media, and it was for many years considered lost as well. However in 2011 fan-recorded episodes were illicitly uploaded to the internet, and presently these unauthorized recordings constitute the sole means by which the Arabic dub of [[S02|Season 02]] can be viewed. | ** [[S02|Season 02]] also seems to have never been officially released on home media, and it was for many years considered lost as well.
