Trivia[]

In Blue's Senses, Steve and Blue had a race with their wind-up frog and drum toys and it was a tie and Steve cleaned the Pawprint by giving it a wind-up. Then Steve heard the wind-up drum toy and followed it to the bedroom and he used the drumming for, “Blue’s Clues,” when Steve sung We Are Looking for Blue’s Clues and the toy was under the bed where Steve found a hairbrush, his bunny slippers and Blue, who found the wind-up toy, and then Steve felt different things to the living room like the pillow on the bed was soft, the desk was hard, and the sponge was squishy, then Steve and Blue played Lights On, Lights Off where Steve and Blue turned off the lamp, put away some toys, turn the lamp back on and the Viewer had to guess and figure out which toys they put away like blocks, the giraffe stuffed animal, and crayons, Mailbox was being tickled because the letter he had for Steve was covered in feathers, and then Steve and Blue skidooed into the computer of the Sounds Game to help Squirrel find sound notes where they pressed the sound notes and heard a bird, fountain and swings and Blue wanted to play train, which was the answer to Blue’s Clues (train) when Blue left three clues on a box, a light and the sound, “Choo Choo”, and Steve thought Blue wanted to put the box over the light and then shake it until it makes the sound and then Bunny Slippers, the Giraffe toy and Squirrel arrived to play train as well and Steve and Blue became an engineer and used a flashlight as a headlamp. And when Steve did the 5 senses on the 3 clues box, light, and train sound, he said, “See,” and, “sounds like,” But this time, Josh and Blue are looking to see where a stinky odor is coming from.
This is another show with the 5 senses with the Bubble Guppies episode "Come to Your Senses!" being the first.
Josh has a postcard even though Steve and Blue skidooed in one in Blue Goes to the Beach to help Starfish, Octopus and Seahorse go through different holes in a coral reef to get to a playground and in Mailtime Mystery when Josh and Blue helped Postcard get mailed.
This is the fifth episode where a door was a clue. The others being Adventures in Art, Signs, I'm So Happy! and Building with Blue. Only this time, this door is rectangular instead of arched and the knob is a rectangle too instead of a circle.
- This is also the third episode where a door was the first clue with Adventures in Art and Building with Blue being the first. However, in Signs and I'm So Happy!, it was the second clue.
The food being a carrot and apple being drawn as a clue in this episode is similar what happened in both Steve Gets the Sniffles and Getting Healthy with Blue when vegetables with a carrot, potato, and celery were drawn, a Snowy Day when a carrot alone was drawn, and Shape Searchers when food with a carrot, can, and banana were drawn, which makes this the second episode where non-specific food in general was a clue with Shape Searchers being the first.
- This is also the first episode where non-specific food in general was the second clue because in Shape Searchers, it was the third clue.
The clue cold being drawn in this episode is similar to what happened in Stormy Weather when freezing was drawn as well as Mechanics! and The Big Blue Derby when wind was drawn and was pointing to the right and Return of the Thinking Squad when hot was drawn and in Nature when Steve saw Windy and she got the seasons mixed up until she fixed them by moving a leaf-changing tree from Summer to Fall, ice on a pond from Fall to Winter, flowers from Winter to Spring, and a butterfly from Spring to Summer.
This marks the thirty-third episode in the franchise where any food or drink was drawn or being the answer to Blue’s Clues or being a wrong answer.

The refrigerator is the answer to Blue’s Clues but it was part of the answer to Blue’s Clues in Blue's Surprise at Two O'Clock when orange juice pops were the answer to Blue’s Clues when Blue left three clues on orange juice, a popsicle stick and an ice cube tray and the refrigerator appeared in animated clue form when the orange juice pops were put inside it and taken out of it.
This episode features a callback to Blue's New Pet when Avocado said that he lost his election bid against Mayor Billy Chicken.
