• Arthur's friends including Buster, Francine, and Muffy, plus Molly and other Lakewood Elementary School students are seen in this episode. Neither one of Arthur's friends nor any other students from Lakewood Elementary School appeared in the book, since it focused on D.W.

• The master bedroom at the Reads' house had a dormer window in this episode, but was removed in subsequent episodes for unknown reasons.
