I own several VHS releases from Paramount Home Entertainment (originally known as Paramount Home Video; formerly known as Paramount Home Media Distribution). They are:
- the 1996 VHS release of "Rugrats: A Baby's Gotta Do What a Baby's Gotta Do" (released under the Nickelodeon Video Works line). Mine uses the 1998 horizontal sticker label on the front of the cassette shell. Cassette shell and tape guard are Nickelodeon-style orange, but the release button is black. Dark ink number on the cassette spine appears to be faded.
- the 1996 VHS release of "Rugrats: Chuckie the Brave" (released under the Nickelodeon Video Works line). Mine was packaged in the 1998 cover, and it uses the 1999 horizontal sticker label on the front of the cassette shell, which I could tell the label was made in 1999 because of the byline "A VIACOM COMPANY" below the Paramount logo at the top left corner of the label, but it reuses the 1998 date for the Paramount Pictures copyright anyway (the 1998 label would not have had the Viacom byline and neither would have the 1996 label). Cassette shell and tape guard are Nickelodeon-style orange, but the release button is black. Dark ink number on the cassette spine appears to say 14, but is partially worn, making it hard to tell.
- the 1996 VHS release of "Rugrats: The Santa Experience" (released under the Nickelodeon Video Works/Nickelodeon Home Video Production line). Mine was packaged in the 2000 cover, and it uses the 2000 horizontal sticker label on the front of the cassette shell. Dark ink number on the cassette spine says 139. Cassette shell and tape guard are black.
- the 1996 VHS release of "Top Gun" (1986). My copy had a strip label on the cassette spine, but I peeled it off to get to the number that's printed in dark ink (said number says 59).
- the 1997 VHS release of "Rugrats: Tommy Troubles" (released under the Nickelodeon Video Works line). Reuses the original 1996 cover and face label. The Hi-Fi Playback notice / ISBN / UPC code printed directly on the back is white, but has been plastered over with a yellow sticker version of this piece of information. Cassette shell and tape guard are Nickelodeon-style orange, but the release button is black. Dark ink number on the cassette spine says 81.
- the 1997 VHS release of "Rugrats: Return of Reptar" (released under the Nickelodeon Video Works line). Cassette shell and tape guard are Nickelodeon-style orange, but the release button is black. My copy had a strip label on the cassette spine, but I peeled it off because I thought there was something underneath the label (as it turns out, there wasn't). The dark ink number is on the left side of the cassette shell rather than the cassette spine and says 19.
- the 1997 VHS release of "Rugrats: A Rugrats Vacation" (released under the Nickelodeon Video Works line). Mine was packaged in the original 1997 cover. Cassette shell and tape guard are Nickelodeon-style orange, but the release button is black. My copy had a strip label on the cassette spine, but I peeled it off to get to the number that's printed in dark ink (said number says 86).
- the 1997 VHS release of "It's Christmastime Again, Charlie Brown" (1992) (released under the Peanuts Home Video line). Mine was still packaged in the 1996 cover. Tape itself uses the 1999 horizontal sticker label on the front of the cassette shell. Dark ink number on the cassette spine says 58.
- the 1997 VHS release of "Rugrats: A Rugrats Thanksgiving" (released under the Nickelodeon Video Works line). Cassette shell and tape guard are Nickelodeon-style orange, but the release button is black. Dark ink number on the cassette spine says 81.

- the 1998 VHS release of "Rugrats: Angelica Knows Best" (released under the Nickelodeon Video Works line). Cassette shell and tape guard are Nickelodeon-style orange, but the release button is black. Dark ink number on the cassette spine says 81. Manufactured during the 4th week of 1999 (PAR 904); duplicated in EP/SLP mode. White screen test pattern with 1000hz sine-wave tone at the end, which cuts to a fullscreen static screen.
- the 1998 VHS boxset "Rugrats: A Rugrats Passover / A Rugrats Chanukah" (released under the Nickelodeon Video Works line). Both tapes use Nickelodeon-style orange cassette shells and were duplicated in EP/SLP mode.

- the 2000 VHS release of "Rugrats: Discover America" (released under the Nickelodeon Home Video Production line).

Cassette shell and tape guard are Nickelodeon-style orange, but the release button is black. Dark ink number on the cassette spine appears to be either faded or absent.

- the 2005 VHS release of "All Grown Up!: Dude, Where's My Horse?" (released under the Nickelodeon Home Entertainment line). To my partial surprise, my copy is a Canadian-distributed copy, though it was printed/pressed in the U.S. (according to the notation watermark printed in blue on the shrinkwrap over the back of the cover which said "Made in USA" in English and French). Cassette shell and tape guard are black. Tape reels are also black. Uses horizontal silkscreen-inked label on the front of the cassette shell, manufactured on June 16, 2005 (061605). "PHE" is engraved in black on the right side of the cassette shell. "TTGNIC" is moulded on the back right of the shell.

Also, I used to own plenty of DVD releases from Paramount Home Entertainment. Mainly Nick Jr. titles (including pre-2008 ones, and some post-2008 ones), such as these (All of these I don't think I own anymore):

- the 2006 DVD releases of "Blue's Clues: Blue's Biggest Stories", "Dora the Explorer: Save the Day!", "Dora the Explorer: We're a Team", and "Dora the Explorer: World Adventure!". I believe I owned the 2006 releases of "Dora the Explorer: Dora's Halloween" and "Dora the Explorer: Dora's Christmas" (both releases initially distributed exclusively in Canada; the original DVD releases were released in 2004) as well (my copies of both were

- the 2011 DVD set "The Rugrats Trilogy Movie Collection". My copy of the set is a much later pressing that was packaged in the 2017 cover. I purchased this set from a Walmart in March 2024. According to the sticker placed on the top of the plastic seal wrap over the front, my copy of the set was shipped to the Walmart I purchased it from in October 2023. It also had the notation "Disc(s) Made in Germany" inked over the back. It consists of these DVDs:

== Distribution in Canada ==
Did Paramount Home Entertainment (formerly known as Paramount Home Video) outsource distribution in Canada to one or more other companies at one point? (after a brief sub-licensing stint there with Astral Video that is) Or did they always self-distribute their product there?

== Various VHS Reprint Opening Videos ==
A user on YouTube who goes by the name of Moose and Zee has made many Paramount VHS "reprint" openings, attempting to make them look real.
Many of the fake VHS "reprint" openings he made were mostly Rugrats and some Peanuts releases. Some of them have since been disproved.
For example, he’s made the fake openings to the 2000-2001 reprints of "A Rugrats Vacation", "Bedtime Bash" and "The Santa Experience"; it had since been revealed that the aforementioned reprints still use the same exact masters as presented on the 1997 (for the former two) and 1996 (for the latter) releases. He even added the Nick Jr. Videos promo on his opening videos for the Decade in Diapers Vol. 1-2, All Growed Up and Kwanzaa videos; in reality, those videos did not contain that promo. He also made the fake opening to a 2002 reprint of "Rugrats in Paris: The Movie" and he even attempted to show proof in another one of his videos. The proof video he made was obviously not a real proof video, because he edited an image showing the label on the tape itself, replacing the regular Paramount logo with an image of the 90th Anniversary Paramount logo, yet in the image the tape was still orange and the copyright date below the warning information still said 2001 (Nickelodeon had done away with orange cassettes beginning in mid-August 2001 although some copies of many 2001-05 Paramount/Nickelodeon tapes were recycled from orange-cassette copies of either Harriet the Spy or The Rugrats Movie). Jesse Coffey had made a video exposing the fake "reprint" proof and opening videos, and seemingly afterwards, both fake proof and opening videos were deleted.
Many of us have not yet seen real proof regarding the so-called "2002 reprint" of "Rugrats in Paris: The Movie".
The fact that many users like him are getting away with making fake opening videos attempting to make them look like they’re real is just laughably horrendous.
