Trivia
- A majority of the episodes had the standard theme song, except for these episodes:
- Christmas Cheers included a slower version of the song with jingle bells ringing through-out. A male voice shouting "Ho Ho Ho!" can be heard at the end of the song. This version of the song was also used during the episode's cut scenes.
- Boo Boo Is History included the standard season 2 version of the song with an added bang as the title came up.
- Halloween Scares included another version of the song recorded by Mark Galla. An evil laugh can be heard at the end of the song.

- This was officially the first song that the lead actress Peyton List recorded professionally. She was only 12 years-old when she recorded the first version.
