Season and episodes notes
- The "Historical Capsule" segment in Season 1, episode 9 incorrectly states that Florence Nightingale founded the Elizabeth Arden cosmetics company in 1930. In fact, the company was founded by Florence Nightingale Graham.[3]
- The background music in the "Pipe Organs" segment of Season 2, episode 2 is called "Variations for Organ on 'O Filii et Filiæ', Opus 49, No. 2" by French organist and composer Alexandre Guilmant.
- The "Techno Flash" segment was removed from the third season, and the "Historical Capsule" segment was removed from the fifth season.[4]
- In the U.S. version of the show, the "Condoms" segment in Season 28, episode 1 is replaced with the "Rubber Gloves" one, which is a duplicate of the same segment in Season 21, episode 1.
- The Science Channel in the U.S. lists the seasons[5] differently from the original Canadian version of the show:
Original season listing | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 | 24 | 25 | 26 | 27 | 28 (ep. 1–10) | 28 (ep. 11–13), 29, 30 (ep. 1–2) | 31, 32, 30 (ep. 3–4) | 30 (ep. 5–13) |
