Trivia
- The BBC episode order is incorrect, as Skylar appears before his introduction in Brewster's Crane Training. The Treehouse order, and the Disney order may be correct, because the characters are introduced before they make other appearances. However, Decka seems to have no introductary episode, it may be the case that Decka has no introductary episode, like Speedy and Hoot and Toot from Season 2.
- This season is fourteen episodes long, making it the shortest season until Season 5.
- This season and Season 5 are the only series to have the UK broadcast order and production order to be exactly the same.
- This is the first and only season in which Wilson appears and speaks in every episode.
- This is the final season where the credits utilise footage from Wilson Gets a Wash, Hodge and the Magnet, Can't Catch Koko and Clunky Wilson.
