Trivia

 * The Wigglehouse is the same house from The Wiggles Movie but it has a garage attached.
 * In the Funny Greg episode, Wags had hes first costume that he had from (1994-1996) when Captain Feathersword and him go to the beach In the Captain Feathersword Pirate Show episode. Later when he dried himself off in a dressing shed, the costume has changed to one that he has from the rest of the series which is thesecond costume that he had from 1997-1998. It could have been possible that this was the first Captain Feathersword Pirate Show episode before "Teaching Tricks", who knows. Funny Greg also the last episode of the series.
 * Kaz the Cat and the Kindergarden Text Types were in the same part of the episode, so they made 26 episodes to fit them in for Kaz the Cat first and the Kindergarden Text Types second. But the Kindergarden Text Types was also the replacement for Kaz the Cat.
 * The songs Numbers Rhumba, Teddy Bear Hug and Baby Beluga (concert version) where taken off the DVD of the series 1 collecters box set because they were Raffi songs.
