In 2004, the first two seasons of the series were released on DVD. The Region 1 version of "Quantum Leap: The Complete First Season" came out in North America on June 7, 2004, much to the delight of the fans.

For some unknown reason, Universal was unable to obtain music rights for all of the music in "Quantum Leap: The Complete Second Season". Some were replaced with generic instrumental music. This outraged many fans and started a letter-writing campaign, demanding such a modification be dealt with. The most devastating aspect was the removal of Ray Charles's Georgia on My Mind from the season-two finalé, "M.I.A.", while Al danced with his first wife, Beth.

The "Quantum Leap: The Complete Third Season" DVD appears to have all of the original songs. However, in the DVD's closed captioning, the song's lyrics aren't shown, implying that the studio may not have had the rights to the lyrics.
