In Canada, it aired on YTV.
It re-aired with the Charlie Brown specials on the UK channel Boomerang in 2002, but was named and advertised as "Snoopy" for short.

The first season's theme was a piano-based instrumental written and produced for this series. That song was given lyrics and released in 1984 as "Let's Have a Party" on the album Flashbeagle, the soundtrack to the special It's Flashbeagle, Charlie Brown. On the second season, a shortened version with the lyrics that appeared on the Flashbeagle album was used.
In the 1980's, Kartes Video Communications released the show on VHS in nine volumes (with titles in the style of normal Peanuts specials) with two episodes each.
In 1994, Paramount Home Video released the show on VHS in the same fashion (but under the actual title of the show this time).
On June 14, 2011, Warner Home Video released the fourteenth episode of the show on DVD under a single disc called: Happiness Is... Peanuts: Snoopy's Adventures. They also announced that on October 18, 2011, the eighteenth and final episode of the show will come to DVD under a single disc called: Happiness Is...Peanuts: Snow Days and the thirteenth episode of the show came to DVD under a single disc called: Happiness Is... Peanuts: Friends Forever on December 27, 2011. Also, the entire series is available through iTunes.
All episodes have been released on DVD in Australia and Germany across two 2-disc box sets. No plans have yet been announced for a US DVD release, although all the episodes are available for download at Amazon.com.
