There was no home media release for ''Binyah Binyah'' due to how briefly it ran, and thus, bootleg copies are impossible to find. An on set photo of the series has resurfaced and showed puppeteer Rick Lyon controlling a character from the show named "Swimpy" and the photo can be seen above. Aside from this no footage or screenshots have ever resurfaced of the short lived series and all five aired episodes are now considered lost.
