-->''The producers searched for a place that looked like a typical American town. They considered UsefulNotes/RhodeIsland, UsefulNotes/{{Michigan}}, and lots of other places in the United States. So it's weird that they ended up finding the perfect American town in [[CanadaEh Canada]].''

* The following scenes from the webcomic have yet to occur (or at least have an equivalent) in the books:
** Greg mentions that by writing in his diary, he gets out of one chore; he chooses cleaning toilets, which goes to Rodrick.
** Greg watches a movie with his father and Rodrick; his mother catches them watching it during a racy scene and makes them feel ashamed, to which Greg responds by pretending to also be disgusted.
** Greg writes the wrong answers on a test to trick a classmate into doing so, then erases them and replaces them with the right answers; the classmate gets detention.
** Rodrick has "#1" slips in his junk drawer, which he uses to impress girls when they ask him for his number. He also has a book called "Dumb Animals", which Greg uses as a source for his moose assignment.
** Greg's mother removes the prize from specially marked cereal boxes due to causing friction between him and Rodrick; however, Rodrick gets lucky with the cereal, which Greg is okay with due to having once gotten sick from eating all the marshmallows from a cereal box.
** Greg mentions a home video of when he was successfully toilet-trained, which Rodrick likes to hold over his head.
** Greg pretends to believe in Santa due to Rodrick getting fewer presents for saying he doesn't; he stops when he walks in on his parents wrapping the "Santa" presents.
** Rodrick gets a model rocket which he builds, then launches; Greg finds it, but ends up accidentally breaking it, then claiming he found it that way. Earlier, Rowley gets a similar rocket.
** Greg and Rodrick make a New Year's resolution to serve each other breakfast in bed, turning it into a contest to see who can do so for the most consecutive days, which Greg "wins".
** A boy in Greg's year level gets beaten up for tap-dancing.
** On St. Patrick's Day, Rodrick punches Greg, claiming he gets his "i"s and "u"s mixed up.
** Greg follows a professional gamer, hoping to one day be on the video game circuit himself.
** Greg's father tells him not to pick on Manny, which puts the idea to do so anyway into his head.
** Piper Matthews (the equivalent of Holly Hills) was once embarrassed at wearing only underwear in front of her classmates.
** Greg uses the confessional at his church.
** Greg's father fills out a form offering to chaperone an end-of-year trip.
** An entire ''plot line'' has yet to occur: Greg's father wants him to go to a specific high school, and his relatives give him clothes that are the same colour as the school's uniform. Mr. Heffley backs out of it, however, when [[spoiler:Bill Walter says he went to that school]].
