Trivia

• It was released on VHS and DVD around the time it aired on TV.

• This is the final episode of Season 1 of Blue's Room.
  • It also marks the last time the Season 1 structure of Blue's Room was used, as many changes were made to the show's episode structure after this episode.
  • Additionally, this marks the final time Polka Dots Puzzles is played, as it was removed starting with the next episode, and the last appearance of Silly Seat because he is not seen in the next season.
• This is the last episode where Peter Linz performs Polka Dots and Doodle Board. Starting with the next episode and Shape Detectives, both characters have a new performer, James Godwin.

• A companion toy, Chicka Chicka Conga Blue, was released for this episode.
• Polka Dots imitates an elephant for the second puzzle piece and an alligator for the third.
