In this episode, when Steve goes to get his notebook, Sidetable exclaims "Blue's Clues I'm so excited."
- This episode marks the last instance of Sidetable saying this until the Blue's Clues & You! Season 1 episode 123's with Blue.
This declaration was standard in earlier seasons, but seemed to disappear once Sidetable was given more of a personality.
This episode can be seen in Nickelodeon All Star Sports Day DVD.

This is the tenth and last time Steve wears his tan shoes.
This is the second episode Steve draws rolling in his notebook. The first being What Was Blue's Dream About?.
This is the first episode to feature a moving clue as the first clue, since a moving clue is normally the third clue. It is followed by Story Wall.

In the credits, the audience cheers after one of the characters appear.
In this episode, the audience joins the viewers who say "No! A clue!" and "Notebook!".
The music playing during the Mailtime Segment was the Superheroville music from "Superfriends."
After "Bye, Steve!", the end of the "We Are Looking For Blue's Clues" melody does not play.
