Trivia

• No episodes from seasons 14, 16, 22, 23, 24 or 25 are included on this DVD set.
• This DVD set contains the most episodes of Arthur on a Region 1 home video release, with 48 episodes.
  • The only home video release of Arthur that has more episodes on it than this one is Arthur: The Complete Series 1, which was released in Region 2, with 60 episodes.

Errors

• The cold opens of "Team Trouble" and "Prunella Gets It Twice" are missing.
• The back cover incorrectly states that "Arthur is television's longest-running animated series!". This is not true, as The Simpsons is actually the longest-running animated series (with The Simpsons having premiered in 1989, versus Arthur having premiered in 1996).
  • However, Arthur is the longest-running animated children's series.
• A list of episodes that are included in the DVD is nowhere to be found on either the outside or inside packaging of the DVD.
