Trivia

• This is the second season for a couple of things:
  • The second one to release all of its episodes in one month in the U.S. The first one was Season 4.
    • This is also the last one to release all of its episodes in one month in the U.S. until Season 22 in 2019, 13 years after this season was released.
  • The second one to have been fully released on DVD in Region 1 via a DVD box set. The first one was Season 7, via the DVD box set Sleepovers, Sports and More.
• As an Easter egg, each episode in this season has the number 10 hidden somewhere.
• This is the last season in which D.W. is voiced by Jason Szwimer. Robert Naylor takes over starting with the next season.
  • This is also the first season where Jessica Kardos is credited for voicing Sue Ellen (she previously voiced her in Season 1 of Postcards from Buster).
• Starting with this season, the subtitles are now entirely accurate, with no lines of dialogue shortened for easier readability.
• This season is available to stream for free with an Amazon Prime membership, including "Binky vs. Binky/Operation: D.W.!", which was pulled from the rerun rotation in 2013 due to the Lance Armstrong doping scandal. All other seasons and episodes must be purchased separately, or they can be streamed with a separate PBS Kids streaming subscription. It is also the only season on Amazon to have an audio description track, though it was changed from the one used on TV airings.
