Trivia
- George and Harold are voiced by kids instead of adults so that their voices will sound more like pre-pubescent children instead of teenagers. Melvin, is still voiced by an adult, as to show his higher intellect and development rate.
- In the theme song, every episode has a different dance move for Mr. Krupp when George and Harold say "And first they made him dance!".
- All the episodes are treated like the books, as they get chapters.
- Nat Faxon differentiates Captain Underpants and Mr. Krupp in voice as well as personality. Mr. Krupp's voice is more higher pitched and hoarse, while Captain Underpants has a deeper and bolder voice.
- This show presented four new facts about Melvin:
- He could create complex inventions, even as a baby!
- He has a bad sense of humor, finding unfunny things like misplaced carbon rods and rotting fruit to be hilarious.
- He became a cyborg sometime in the future because of some Butt-erflies canst into the future by George and Harold and headed back to the present disguised as the school superintendent, Dr. Vil Endenemys to fix his life, which begins to unfold in the finale as in it, Krupp is fired and George and Harold are expelled, prologing season 2.
- In Season 2, He and his future self, Melvinborg, 'Melvinized' Jerome Horwitz Elementary School (now as Melvin Sneedly Elementary School).
- However, everything was back to normal after Melvinborg was erased from existence.
- At the end of season three, a plane flies by with a banner saying that there will be more Captain Underpants coming soon.
- Harold, George, and Captain Underpants can be seen as crudely made puppets almost throughout the series.
- Jessica Gordon is the only student besides George, Harold, and Melvin to be from the books.
- All episodes in the show have comics with George's storytelling and Harold's drawings, except for the first episode in Season 3, due to George and Harold being separated.
- Captain Underpants Epic Choice-O-Rama is a very special episode where the viewers control the story. However, it doesn't matter how the episode goes, or how long it lasts, as it goes on forever if viewers want to keep it going with so many choices if they never want to end it, they actually got decisions whether they want it ongoing or not, it's a kind of episode to play with, just for fun, it involves replays and restarts, where viewers can rewind back to where they were, then play the other scene going along with it.
- Captain Underpants is always saying "Oooooooooo" to everything he finds surprising, exciting, and interesting.
- The TV show returning for a fifth season is still pending.
