Fun Facts

Moral

Trivia

• This is the last episode for two things:
  • The last episode to have two stories until Little Things Matter.
  • The last episode to have a studio audio commentary until the reboot.
  • The last episode to feature Laura's original design until the reboot.
  • The last episode to not have Scooter until Noah's Ark
  • The last speaking appearance of Ermie Asparagus until the reboot
  • The last appearance of Ellen until the reboot.
  • The last episode where a character says "It's time to talk about what we've learned today" afterwards, only "Let's see if Qwerty has a verse for us today" is said before the What Have we Learned Song plays until the reboot.
• This is the first episode where Deluxe Media Services does the DVD authoring.
• Bob being portrayed or referred as "Bob the Builder" would later become a YouTube meme.
• There were a few differences between pre-production and the final version:
  • In the teasers, it only showed "The Good Egg of Gooseville," meaning either that was going to be the only story, or it was going to be the main title instead of "The Little House That Stood."
  • Originally, Bob in "The Little House" was going to have bricks. But this was changed by Brian due to that it gives the wrong message that "you only need bricks to build a house" and wanting to go more to that "you can use any type of material as long as you have a firm foundation."

Remarks

• The credits display Belinda Whittles, even though she does not actually appear in the show. This is done in case anyone in real life has that name.
• The credits state that it was released in 2012, but it didn't release until March 2013. Though this is likely when it was completed.

• After the Builders say "Wise Choice", Bob and Mr. Lunt both look at Larry dryly as he does so with each of them with would be similar to how it was done in "Josh and the Big Wall!" after the Israelites yelled and looked at Josh and he looked at each of them.
