Trivia
General
- The following episodes on this DVD box set have their music score changed due to copyright issues. Information on specific changes can be found in the articles on the specific episodes.
- "Help Wanted," the pilot episode of the series, was not included on this DVD box set due to copyright issues with Tiny Tim's song "Livin' in the Sunlight, Lovin' in the Moonlight" being played in this episode. According to Derek Drymon, this is because Nickelodeon did not want to pay Tiny Tim's estate for the rights.[1] However, it is included as a bonus feature on disc 3 of The Complete 3rd Season, 10 Happiest Moments, and The Third & Fourth Seasons DVDs. It is also available as a normal episode on The First 100 Episodes, SpongeBob, You're Fired!, The Pilot a Mini-Movie and the Square Shorts, and The Best 200 Episodes Ever DVDs.
- This is the first time an episode from a season is excluded from a season DVD set, the second being "Kwarantined Krab," from The Complete Twelfth Season DVD.
- At some point in 2014, this DVD set and The Complete Second Season were released together in a bundle called the 2-Season pack.
- On February 5, 2018, this DVD set and The Complete Second Season were released together again in a bundle called The First & Second Seasons.
- On June 11, 2019, this DVD set and The SpongeBob Movie Collection were released together yet again in a bundle called Movies & TV Collection.
- On February 5, 2018, this DVD set and The Complete Second Season were released together again in a bundle called The First & Second Seasons.
- On the DVD description on the backside, the following episodes are referenced
- "Bubblestand" - "learn the technique to blow the perfect bubble"
- "F.U.N." - "sing "The F.U.N. Song""
- "Hooky" - "ride the hooks"
- "The Paper" - "turn a gum wrapper into a gold mine of entertainment"
Errors

An image from "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy III" instead of "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy II."
- In the episode selection on disc 3, the image for "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy II" is not from that episode. The image is actually from "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy III," which is not on this DVD box set.
- This error also happens on the Lost at Sea DVD and the original season 1 DVD box set.

Bill Faberbakke.
- In the closing credits for "Reef Blower" and "Tea at the Treedome," Bill Fagerbakke's name is misspelled as "Bill Faberbakke." This mistake was repeated from the original season 1 DVD box set, likely due to using the same master.
