Trivia[]
- During the first season of the regular series run, these shorts, with the exception of Where's the Wand? were repackaged into three compilation episodes[3], though they were never actually included within Season 1. This was, likely because the first season had so few episodes. In these versions of the shorts, Timmy's lines were redubbed by his current voice actress, Tara Strong.
- The practice of the parents' faces not being shown was used in the first season of another Nickelodeon show, The Loud House, as well as Cartoon Network's Cow and Chicken.
