Edits[]
Every episode presented is edited in multiple ways from their original versions. Kaz the Cat segments are missing, as they had been replaced by Dorothy's Kindergarten segments a few years before for reruns and international airing. "Wiggly Trivia" questions asked in Wigglehouse segments before commercial breaks were removed, as there are no breaks on DVD. The songs Teddy Bear Hug, Numbers Rhumba and Baby Baluga are also removed from their respective episodes, presumably to avoid paying royalties to the songwriters (despite the fact that the former two songs had been available on the Yummy Yummy & Wiggle Time! DVD three years before, which would go on to be re-released multiple times).
When it came to reediting the episodes for this release, They had no longer access to the raw assets that they would of needed for this release is all of the Wigglehouse segments, The Kindergarten segment from Murray's Shirt, Henry the Octopus segments from Foodman and Funny Greg aswell The original transitions for the series. So they had to use the final edits of the episodes with the Wiggly Trivia still intact to do these changes. This problem would of also happened with the 11-minute version of this series which could of possibly been put together alongside the Box Set edits of the original episodes.

- This is the only complete TV Series collection to come out before Greg retired and was replaced by Sam in 2006. TV Series 2 Collector's Edition and TV Series 3: Lights, Camera, Action! were released in 2007 and 2008, respectively.
- This is the second DVD to include bonus Wiggly Animation clips, after Lights, Camera, Action!.
