Trivia[]
- Franklin Robinson, who is related to Steve's popular friend Michael Robinson, is one of Steve's friends in this episode.
- Steve hints that he wants to go to college, foreshadowing the episode "Steve Goes to College." This means that Steve is 18 years old in this episode and has finished high school since he moves to college in that episode, allowing Joe to take over for the rest of the show.
- Steve sings the "So Long Song" in the pizza parlor.
- In this episode, the lyrics of the song were slightly altered, changing "My dog, Blue" to "Teacher Blue" in "The So Long Song" because Blue is the teacher in this episode.
- A book about the School Bus was included as a mini book in an issue of Nick Jr. Magazine.
- In 2003, Fisher Price released a toy called PowerTouch, which included a Blue's Clues PowerTouch book with the same name as the episode.
- This episode likely takes place after the next episode, as playing school was the answer to Blue's Clues in the mentioned episode. It is unclear why they were aired out of order if this was the case.
- There was no Blue Skidoo segment in this episode.
- This episode may have aired in Australia in early 2002 or late 2003.
- Mr. Salt does not appear with Mrs. Pepper until the end credits.
- The answers and clues in this episode were almost identical to the 2nd segment of the Yellow Disc of "Blue's Birthday Adventure: What Does Blue Want To Eat At Her Party?" The only difference was that the tomato was replaced with tomato sauce and was the 3rd clue instead of the 1st.
- The episode features the book "Snack Time with Blue."
- The clues "cheese" and "circle," and the answer "pizza" would return in "Welcome To Blue's Bistro."
- The monkey from "Blue Wants to Play a Song Game" makes an appearance in this episode.
- The only song time in this episode occurs in the pizza parlor, which is the answer to Blue's Clues.
- In the letter, the girl says, "This is where we read our books," quietly pretending it's a library.
- At the end of the letter, the message says, "Bye, Steve!" which will happen again later in Magenta's Messages for Joe.
- Teacher Blue and her friends are at the pizza parlor, which is the answer to Blue's Clues, just like Joe, which will happen again in the online game "Joe's Scrapbook Journey" on day seven.
- The answer to Blue's Clues is the same as the answer to gold clues in the online game "Blue's Gold Clues Challenge" and in part of the PC game "Blue's Birthday Adventure" called "What Does Blue Want To Eat At Her Party?" and in part of the book "Snack Time with Blue."
- Although this episode was produced in Season 4, it aired two years after the series ended, and it's unknown why it was delayed.
- This is the same time Tickety Tock, Steve said, "story time, we have art time, we have snack time, we have ABC Time," which will happen in "Blue's ABC Time Activities" and "Blue's Art Time Activities" PC games, and in the episodes "Blue's Story Time" and "Snack Time."
- At the end of the episode, a similar event occurs in "Barney's Adventure Bus," where Barney takes Chip, Keesha, Kristen, Robert, BJ, and Baby Bop to the pizza parlor, just like Steve who takes Tickety, Periwinkle, and Blue there in the episode, which was Chip's favorite place, after Robert and Kristen's favorite place, the castle, and before Keesha's favorite place, the wild west, which was before Baby Bop's favorite place and BJ's special place, the circus, to form his rock band, which is the last one.
- When Steve sings "The So Long Song" in the pizza parlor, song time isn't checked off after all.
- The instrumental version of "La Donna è Mobile" from Giuseppe Verdi's opera "Rigoletto" or "Things You Do Every Day" from Groupon plays in the credits when Steve and Blue are at the pizza parlor, marking the end of the school day.
- When Steve says, "It's a letter from our friends...," he adds, "...at school!"
- In the letter, playing with blocks is the first activity, reading books is the second activity, which is the quietest one ever, and painting is the final activity before saying goodbye.
Goofs[]
- In this episode, Nick Balaban is recognized as a friend of Steve even though he voiced Mr. Salt.
- Steve mentioned that mail time was meant to come after ABC time, but in the episode, mail time actually came before ABC time.
