Katie McWane, Danielle Brown, and Jack Wilson are friends of Joe in this episode. Katie is the Music & Talent Coordinator, Danielle is related to Content Consultant Laura G. Brown, Ph.D.(not this episode), and Jack is related to Jeff Wilson, the Director of Photography for this episode.
This is the last episode that Periwinkle's voice is Kenny Kim.
There was no Blue Skidoo in this episode, but when the animals head back home, the skidoo sound effect was added.
This is Joe's version of Animal Behavior!.
When Joe asks the Giraffe if it gets a ball off of roofs in its natural habitats, closed-captioning reads "rooves," but the proper spelling is "roofs."
In the Mailtime Segment, Joe tries to sing the Mailtime Song but is interrupted by various animal noises. Afterward, Mailbox has him receive his letter from a goose that's been hanging around the house.
- The goose also gave Joe the notebook by Sidetable Drawer.
When Joe is looking for the third clue (on the pocket located in the middle of the overalls), Joe goes behind the other outfits on the clothesline, posing as if he was wearing them (including the overalls).
In the credits, the first page is the only part that does not scroll upwards.
- This will also happen in Morning Music.
When the animals show Joe and the residents of the Blue's Clues house what they do, Joe gives out a quote like: "Great swimming, Platypus!", "Terrific tusks!", "That's a beautiful house, I mean lodge, Beaver.", and "Enjoy your snack, Giraffe.", just to name a few.
The list of animals that appeared (in order from when they go back in the book).
- Monkey in Tickety's bedroom
- Platypus in Slippery's bathroom
- Armadillo in Pail's living room
- Walrus in Mr Salt's kitchen
- Beaver outside Periwinkle's fort
- Giraffe next to the house
- Kangaroo (answer to Blue's Clues), in the backyard
- Goose, the animal that gave Joe the notebook and letter by mistake
The Mailtime vocals for Joe were re-recorded exclusively to the episode.
The game board seen in the bedroom is the same one from Geography.
This episode didn't zoom out from the house at the end of the episode and it went straight to the credits, just like in Anatomy.
This is the fifth and last episode where Blue's barking was muted out in the Mailtime Song. The last four episodes that have happened were in "Weight and Balance", "Occupations", "Blue's Play", and "Shape Searchers".
When Joe enters the bathroom, a picture of the treasure chest that appeared in Blue's Big Treasure Hunt is seen.
When Joe cleans the paw print, he is like an elephant.
Joe wears a blue squared shirt in this episode.
Duck, Duck, Goose is played in this episode, just like in Blue Wants to Play a Game. This will happen again later in Away Great Playdate, which will be all about riding a train to the city where pretzels are sold, a taxi to the beach where shells are collected, and an airplane to the farm while Jalen's hat got left behind and Blue and Sprinkles had to take it to him at his house there.
Besides Blue, only Mailbox appeared and Goose made her only appearance in the credits.
This is the last episode that was not released on VHS or DVD.
Mr. Salt appears without Mrs. Pepper and Pail appears without Shovel in this episode, but Mr. Salt did not appear again with Mrs. Pepper in the credits & Pail did not appear again with Shovel in the credits as well.
Appearing in this episode is the hopping motion from Dress Up Day.
