Recap[]

Today, we explore numbers, counting and basic arithmetic. We help out to find missing numbers by using counting to figure out where they're hiding. We also skidoo into a book filled with numbers.

Trivia[]

Mailbox, Sidetable Drawer, and the numbers were too busy to appear at the end of the episode.
During the closing credits, instead of the usual page flipping, the characters were absent as they counted out 100 flowers. The counting continued after the credits finished until they reached 100 flowers covering almost the entire white background.
- Blue then comes out from the center, and the episode cuts to the usual outro where she chases her ball. After the title fades to black, the 1999-2005 Nick Jr. Productions logo plays normally.
- Due to the flowers, only Blue appears, which has not happened since Blue's News. Split-screen airings from December 11, 2006 to May 22, 2008 don't have the flower scene, instead showing promos for other Nick Jr. shows followed by the closing book from Our Neighborhood Festival.
This is the last episode where the credits flip from page to page all the way. However, the beginning of the credits up to Line Producer will still flip from page to page, with a few exceptions.
This episode aired three days after the theatrical release of Daddy Day Care.
This episode aired three days before the theatrical release of The Matrix Reloaded.
This episode is the second one with numbers, following Math!
This episode appeared on the 2003 VHS/DVD release of Blue Takes You To School and on the Nickelodeon: Let's Learn 123s.
This is the only time Tickety Tock skidoos in this episode.
When the third clue was found, the sound of Joe's Notebook ding was pitched up to match the song, and his vocals were slightly off-beat.
This episode is Joe's version of Math!
This episode shows the fourth time the credits were longer than usual.
Blue sounds excited when she places her pawprint on the screen at the start of the game, which has only happened in two other episodes.
This episode is featured on Fisher-Price's InteracTV.
Joe's favorite number is revealed to be 1 in this episode.
This is the second and last episode to use the phrases "No, a clue!" and "Thinking Chair!" This episode marks the first time since Blocks where we see Blue skidoo after the final clue.
Joe wears a blue squared shirt in this episode.
Mr. Salt appears without Mrs. Pepper, and Paprika appears without Cinnamon, but they do not appear together in the credits.
In the kitchen scene, the picture with seven flowers was not mentioned. This is the fifth time the letter segment was a music video instead of a regular segment.
After the So Long Song, Joe does not say "Bye bye!" but instead asks viewers to count to 100. This is also the only time the regular white background appears without paper sounds.
This episode is the first since What Story Does Blue Want to Play? to feature only Blue in the end credits. It is the fifth episode to feature a song happening in the letter video without greetings and goodbyes.
In this episode, Joe and Tickety do a duet of Blue Skidoo, with Joe singing "Blue Skidoo..." and Tickety singing "We can, too!"
Whenever Paprika says "Uh-oh!" when noticing a number is missing while counting from 1 to 10, the "you're wrong" sound effect from "I'm So Happy!" can be heard.
In this episode, Joe says, "We just got one letter!" instead of "We just got a letter!", because this episode talks about numbers. When he says it, two trumpet notes play.
In this episode, Tickety says, "Blue just skidooed..." instead of Joe.
In this episode, a clue, a different clue, and the same clue as the first one are found like in Café Blue.
In this episode, the number 1 happens as the second clue. This happened as the first clue in Tickety's Favorite Nursery Rhyme.
This is the fifth episode to feature a song happening in the letter video without greetings and goodbyes. The first time this happened was in Magenta Gets Glasses. The second time this happened was in Let's Boogie. The third time this happened was in Can You Help?. The fourth time this happened was in Blue Goes to the Doctor. This will happen again later in Bluestock, but only in that episode by They Might Be Giants.
Joe says, "It's a letter from our friends!" by mistake, but what he meant and forgot to say was "It's one letter from our friends!".

Goofs[]

Throughout the episode, the captions incorrectly said Tickety's name as "Tikkety".
Joe's notebook sound was pitched up that matches the song Another Blue's Clues Day, and his vocals were off-beat, this happened when he was finding the third clue.
Joe's drum roll was missing when he finds the second and third clue.
- Something similar happened to Steve in What's Inside?, where Steve’s Cymbal Roll was heard for first clue, but not for the second and third clue.
