Trivia

• This marks the first episode to air on a Nick Jr. channel, and likely would continue afterwards.
• This is the fourth episode where wheels were a clue. The first three being The Trying Game, The Anything Box and Blue's Show and Tell Surprise.
  • This is also the third episode where a wheel was the third clue with The Trying Game and Blue's Show and Tell Surprise being the first. However, in The Anything Box, it was the first clue.
• This is the fifteenth time where a fish was seen. The others being The Trying Game and Nature when there was a fish nearby, What Did Blue See? when Steve and Blue saw a fish in a bowl through a kaleidoscope and Steve and Squirrel saw a bird on a bridge and saw some fish below, Art Appreciation when Steve helped Tickety Tock, Slippery Soap, and Phaderus find fish in their finger, impressionist, and mosaic paintings, Animal Behavior! when Steve, who pretended to be a fish, and Blue helped Lady Gooddiver find a leaf fish, rockfish and parrot fish, Blue's Big Costume Party and Spooky Costume Party with Blue when Steve and Josh, who were aliens, saw Blue all dressed up as a fish, Imagine Nation when Steve imagined a white blanket over two chairs and a hula hoop as an igloo and ice hole for ice fishing, Blue's Big Imagination when Tickety Tock, Slippery Soap and Magenta imagined a button story and there were fishes in it, What's Inside? when a fish inside a pond was seen, Shape Searchers when Joe and Blue helped Oval, Triangle and Crescent find a fish for them to fit on, Up, Down, All Around! when a fish was the answer to Blue’s Clues when Blue left three clues on an under motion, water and scales and Magenta's Messages when Joe and Blue fed Magenta’s pet fish.
• Mailbox is being CowBox again like he was in The Ghost of the Living Room.
• This is the twelfth time where a pig was seen. The others being Blue's Story Time and Story Time with Blue when The Three Little Pigs was the answer to Blue’s Clues when Blue left three clues on bricks, a wolf and a pig, What Story Does Blue Want to Play? when Steve and Blue did the Three Little Pigs as first, What Does Blue Want to Do on a Rainy Day? when Steve and Blue helped Frog find her partner, who was a pig, Imagine Nation when Steve used a button on a piece of paper and imagined the button as a pig hiding in snow, The Snack Chart when Joe and Blue fed a brown pig 5 potatoes, a red pig 3 potatoes, and a pink pig 0 potatoes because the pink pig eats peppers and pears, Dress Up Day when Joe saw Pail was dressed up as a pig and they acted and sounded like pigs, Blue's Big Band when Joe and Blue did a piglet story with Piano, Up, Down, All Around! when there were pigs nearby on Little Bo Peep’s farm, Meet Polka Dots! when Slippery Soap and Polka Dots played rescue team and became a firefighter and police officer to save a pig in a tree, and The Fairy Tale Ball when Joe and Blue saw the Three Little Pigs.
• The pig is named Twinkle in this episode, which reminds viewers of Blue's ABCs, Bluestock and Sleepy Singalong with Blue when Steve, Josh, Blue and Boogie Woogie read and sung Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
• A Ferris wheel being the answer to Blue’s Clues is similar to what happened in The Anything Box when a roller coaster was the answer to Blue’s Clues when Blue left three clues on wheels, tracks and a line that goes up and down.
• Rainbow Puppy had to toss a ball lower, hit the striker harder, and cast the fishing rod farther like in Blue's Backyard Ballgame Bonanza when Shovel and Pail played with with a ball on a hill and Shovel had to kick the ball harder to Pail, then Steve, Blue, and Periwinkle did experiments on which ball would bounce the most and it was a rubber ball, then they dropped rubber balls on grass, a blanket, and the pavement to find out where the balls would bounce the most and it was on the pavement because it was hard and the grass and blanket were soft, and dropped the balls from 3 different heights, which were down low, up high, and in the middle to see which one bounced the most and it was up high and when Blue and Periwinkle dropped the ball up high during the Bounce-Off, they got 10 bounces, Steve ran an obstacle course with Beach Ball she made Steve bounce a ball into a box at first but Steve bounced it up and down but had to do it forward, then roll a ball against a wall to make it roll back to Steve but rolled it softly and had to do it harder, and roll a ball into a hole but did it too hard and went over the hole and had it softer and when Blue did bowling, she had to aim the ball in the middle to get all the bottles knocked down.
• Rainbow Puppy had to aim lower like in The Wrong Shirt when Steve sung the Opposite Song with Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper and high and low was used and Joe's Surprise Party when Joe played Pin the Beak on the Duck and he had the bill too high and too low and he put it in the right spot.
