Trivia[]

  • Daniel Richardson was one of Joe's friends in this episode, before he made his debut as Baby Bird in the next episode. Also included in the list is a relative of Aleisha Allen, the voice of Sidetable Drawer, which is Omarri Allen, and a relative of Content Consultant Laura G. Brown (not this episode), which is Jennifer Brown.
  • This episode appears in online listings as "What Does Blue Want to Get at the Store?" or "Pretend Store".
    • However, the official episode title flag said, "Playing Store".
  • Joe is wearing an orange shirt in this episode. We also see a photo of him and Blue in which he is wearing a blue shirt, which was first seen in montages of 100th Episode Celebration from the instrumental version of I Can Be Anything That I Want to Be from the Season Three movie Blue's Big Musical was used.
  • In the UK version, the picture of Joe and Blue is replaced with a screenshot of the UK version of Blue's Big Band.
    • This is also the first time (not counting every Another Blue's Clues Day song) in the series Joe wears his famous orange squared shirt.
    • However, in the UK version, Kevin wears a green squared shirt instead of an orange squared shirt, the first being Shape Searchers.
  • Snail appeared 4 times in this episode instead of the usual 3.
  • In the Mailtime Segment, Mailbox pretends he is a mail store and Joe "pays" him for the letter.
  • In this episode, Joe says, "That's our third clue!" instead of "We have all three clues!". This also happens in Our Neighborhood Festival.
  • In this episode, Joe skidoos in the Living Room Picture Frame, the first time Joe skidoos there, and this is the first time since Blue's Big Costume Party where the living room picture is the skidoo location.
  • The instrumental of "Open, Close" from What Does Blue Want to Do on a Rainy Day? and ¡Un Día Con Plum! was heard while Slippery tries out the boat that floats.
  • Mr. Salt appears without Mrs. Pepper, except during the credits.
  • This David B. Levy episode shares similarities with the character order from Season 4, with Tickety's 2nd action, but Shovel & Pail are mirrored, and Mailbox does not appear.
  • Owl's Furniture Store is similar to the out-of-business Smith's Furniture, which featured an owl in the logo.
  • The UK version of this episode is titled "Playing Shops".

Goofs[]

  • In the Skidoo segment, the medium-sized door may be the right size for Mr. Elephant, but the largest door could have also worked, too, just in case he grows more.
