Recap[]

Joe and Blue have been having fun writing labels, labeling all sorts of different things in the Blue's Clues house. We have fun with writing too, as Joe teaches us a trick where we can write a letter in the air using our finger. We find a character named Marky up in the attic and we help him to make labels for a couple of boxes. In the Skidoo segment, Joe finds himself holding a very large paintbrush and a character named Palette shows up and asks us to help her write a word.

Trivia[]

Palette is not seen in the end of the episode because she was very busy.
When the toy box opens, the noisemaker from Steve Goes to College plays.
Elizabeth Rose Anderson and Jack Hoffman, friends of Joe in this episode, are relatives of former Content Consultant Dr. Dan Anderson and the voice of Paprika, Corrine Hoffman, respectively.
In this episode, Joe is shown drawing the clues instead of having them magically appear and talk, as seen in recent episodes like The Scavenger Hunt and Magenta's Messages.
- The Scavenger Hunt and Magenta's Messages were produced before the recent episodes.
This episode is Joe's version of Blue's ABCs and Words.
This is the third episode with words, following Blue's ABCs and Words.

This is the first episode since I'm So Happy!/A Brand New Game where Joe is seen wearing his green squared shirt.
- This was the last episode where Joe wears his green shirt in Season 5.
Although produced before talking clues, this episode was the last before talking clues were introduced, making it the last episode to have Joe hand draw the clues until Blue Goes to the Doctor.
This is the second episode where the host is the answer and the second episode with Marky, following Draw Along with Blue.
This is the sixth time the telephone is seen on the floor, happening at the end of the episode.

Joe wears a yellow smock over his shirt only in the skidoo segment.
When Joe skidoos into Palette's Painting World, his smock appears over his shirt, disappearing when he skidoos out.
When Palette leaves, the Writing Song starts and Joe begins singing it.
In this episode, Joe says, "We have our last clue!" instead of "We have all three clues!".
Palette needs help writing the letters by spelling the word, which was also the third clue in Blue's ABCs.
The first part of Palette's Painting World is where Palette wrote the same letter as the first clue.
When Joe sings, "Just put some together, it's very exciting!" in the Writing Song, it ends.
When Marky arrives at the end, Joe does not mention helping him write labels in the attic.
This episode does not take place in the kitchen in any segment.

Goofs[]

Elizabeth Rose Anderson is also known as Elizabeth Rose Andersen.
In the Mailtime Segment, the name of the kid, Elisabeth, was mistakenly spelled as Elizabeth in the closed-captioning. Elizabeth is a more common spelling for this name.
- This mistake will be corrected in Blue's First Holiday.
