Trivia

 * In Arthur's story he didn't include any of his friends in the story and in Binky and Francine's story they only included Arthur and not themselves so it would of been unlikely that either one of them would've had a shot at winning the contest because the contest was to write a story about you and your friend.

Characters
 * In Arthur's story he is supposed to be 18 and has D.W. go and pick up his car but D.W. is only 4 years younger than Arthur and would of been 14 at the time the story takes place. Therefore, it would of been illegal for her to drive his car because in America the law states that people must be 16 or older to drive vehicles.
 * In My Life as a TV Show, Arthur and Buster call Muffy the 5th Teletubby (true because her dress resemble Dipsy).
 * In The Amazing Fight, everyone (except A rthur ) are cartoon humans.
 * Arthur and his friends did not actually write the stories for the contest. Five kids from across the country wrote them for the show - and one kid, named Holly Holland, had an idea for an episode about a contest.
 * The show Arthur and his friends watch (Andy) is clearly a parody of the show itself.
