Episode connections

 * Tommy being a two minutes older than Timmy is a recurring theme in "Whistling in the Wind."
 * Arthur mentions having babysat the Tibbles before, calling himself an "expert Tibble tamer," and D.W. says that it was a "long time ago," and that she doesn't think simply telling them a scary story will work anymore. Arthur babysits the Tibbles in "Arthur Babysits" from Season 1

Production notes

 * Many, if not all of the names seen in the credits sequence of the action show the Tibbles watch, Super Action Team, are those of actual staff members, such as Gerry Capelle, Jeremy O'Neill and Maureen Paxton.

Errors

 * The Tibbles have training wheels on their bikes, but in "D.W. Rides Again," they don't have it.Its possible this episode was before D.W. rides again.
 * The pool has two diving boards, despite the water going up to Ms. Albright's knees. One could easily get injured from diving into such shallow water.

Home video

 * This episode is one of eight stories featured on the DVD release Arthur: Brothers and Sisters.
