Trivia
- "Help Wanted," the pilot episode of the series, was not included on this DVD 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, The Third & Fourth Seasons, and 10 Happiest Moments 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.
- At some point in 2014, this DVD set and The Complete Second Season were released together in a bundle called the 2-Season pack.
