**Starting with this episode, this is also the first time where [[Paprika]] speaks more fluently. However, she is still not grown yet, and won't until the next episode where she becomes a toddler.
  +

  +
*The drawing of the Steve version of "Stripe Man" remains the same in all international versions of this episode.
  +
*At the end of the [[Mailtime]] Song, [[Steve]] didn't wail out "Mail". Instead, a trumpet sound was heard, then [[Steve]] says "The mail's here" in his superhero voice. But in the reboot, Josh says "Mail" like usually he does.
  +
*After [[Steve]] says "That we wanna do", he didn't put up his jazz hands because he is Stripe Man.
  +
*However in the UK version, [[Kevin]] puts up his jazz hands and says "Yeah!" before putting on his superhero mask down.
  +
*[[Steve]] did not says "Handy Dandy" in this episode, instead he said "Super Duper". Which is ironic considering Kevin, who is the host of the United Kingdom adaptation of the show says "Super Duper" instead of "Handy Dandy".

  +
* When Frank turns into "The Cheerer-upper", the thinking time music of [[Pretend Time]] is heard.
  +
*This was the last episode to air before [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_11_attacks 9/11].
  +
*This episode was later remade in [[Blue's Clues & You!]] as [[The Thinking Squad]].
  +
*In this episode, Steve sings, "Thinking Squad skidoo, to the rescue!" rather than "Blue skidoo, we can too."
  +
*This was the shortest credit sequence for a David B. Levy episode in Season 4. Besides [[Blue]], only [[Shovel]], [[Pail]], and [[Mailbox]] appeared, and [[Mailbox]] came first.
  +
*The "Incredibly Helpful Friend" idea would be used in a PBS Kids show: Super Why! but as Super You.
