Trivia

 * The Wigglehouse is the same house from The Wiggles Movie but Is Painted Blue Instead Of Pink And it has a garage attached.
 * Garage scene from the inside was never shown in the series except the original 1998 version of Toot Toot.
 * In the Funny Greg episode, Wags had his first costume that he had from (1995-1996) In the Captain Feathersword Pirate Show episode called "Waves At The Beach". Later when Wags dried himself off in a dressing shed, the costume had changed to the second one from (1997-1998) that he had in the rest of the series. It could have been possible that this was the first Captain Feathersword Pirate Show episode before "Teaching Tricks", who knows acording to Tv.com Funny Greg Aired Before Anthony's Friend Because Wags' First Costume Appears In Funny Greg And His Second Costume Appears In Anthony's Friend.
 * Kaz the Cat and the Kindergarden Text Types are 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 DVD because they were Raffi songs.
 * Officer Beaples only appears in Wiggle house, the Songs and the Chases, she only appears in Building Blocks and The Party of the Wiggle house part, the only song that she appears in is Dorothy The Dinosaur. And the she appears in all of the chases at the credits
 * Henry dosen't appear in the Wiggle chase with Jeffs little keyboard, he was replaced by the ballerina From The Song Ballerina Ballerina In The Wiggles Movie.
 * The Wiggles Trivia of the Wiggle House part was not shown on the series 1 collectors box set DVD.
 * Count Von Count From Sesame Street Is Heard Saying The Triva And Playing His Organ During The Triva of The Wigglehouse Part.
