Trivia

 * Buster returns home in the this season's premiere, after having spent 17 episodes of Season 2 traveling with his dad.
 * This season is the last one to consist of more than 10 episodes (20 segments). It is also the first season to have an odd number of episodes.
 * This was originally planned to be the last season, due to many cartoons at the time ending at the 65th episode. The show's popularity prevented it from ending, so it was renewed for a Season 4.
 * Many of this season's episodes have the plot of the first and second segments related to each other. Examples include "Buster's Back/The Ballad of Buster Baxter", "The Chips are Down/Revenge of the Chip", and "Binky Rules/Meet Binky".
 * The Brain's voice is noticeably more mature in this season, though Luke Reid would continue voicing the character throughout Season 4. D.W's voice also got a little mature due to Michael Caloz getting older, as this was the last season he voiced D.W. At the end of this season, Michael Caloz's voice became deep enough that he was replaced by Oliver Grainger in the next season.
