Only season 1 & 2 were released on DVD
Just a word of warning, only season 1 & 2 were legitimately released on DVD. If you buy DVDs from other sources, you don't know what you will be getting. Buy Season 1 & 2 from a local store, or from Amazon, and let WB know that you want to see the rest of the series on DVD.
In the meantime, you can find most episodes posted on online video sites. There are maybe 10 or so that don't seem to be available online anywhere.
