Trivia / The Magic School Bus S 4 E 11 Gets Programmed

• The Resolution Will Not Be Identified: The final episode in production order, but nothing to identify it as a series finale.
• Technology Marches On: Inevitable on an episode that focuses on computers. While the inner workings of a computer have largely not changed since the original release, the fact the computer is shown with a command line interface and that it uses a floppy drive squarely puts the episode in the early 90s, when both were just on the brink of becoming supplemental features at best with widespread adoption of GUI and CD-ROM drives, respectively.^note Both would hang around for a few more years, but floppy drives primarily were used as a convenient means to move small files between computers before writable discs and, later, USB sticks became commonplace, while the command line was used mostly for legacy software or for lower level troubleshooting.
