Trivia[]

  • Danielle Brown and David Edwards are both Steve's Friends, whose relatives are Content Consultant Laura G. Brown, and Joe's friend Dominique Edwards, respectively.
  • In this episode, Steve wears a tan shirt and green striped pants, which are the shirt and pants colors of his outfit reversed. He returns to his normal outfit at the end of The So Long Song.
  • In the UK version, Kevin wears a short sleeved tan shirt instead of a long sleeved tan shirt.
  • This is the only time a character skidooed out and in from a skidoo location (possibly due to the episode involving opposites).
    • When Bob skidooed from the Living Room Picture Frame, the following opposites occurred:
      • The window is upside-down instead of right-side up.
      • The thinking chair is up instead of down.
      • A tree is inside instead of outside.
      • Sidetable Drawer is tall instead of short.
  • During the So Long Song, Steve starts with his opposite clothes. The lights turn off and when they came back on, Steve has all green striped clothes, to resemble his pajamas. The lights turn off and when they came back on, Steve has all tan clothes. The lights turn off and when they came back on, Steve had his regular clothes again.
  • Steve wore his belt with the green striped pants.
    • When Steve's clothes return to normal, Snail appears behind Sidetable's drawer.
  • This is the last episode since Blue Goes to the BeachWhat Story Does Blue Want to Play? and Blue's ABCs to have the old voices (who are born in the 80s or 90s and it turns pre-teens) from Season 1-2 1996-1997. Especially the "It's a Clue!" Line.
  • This is the second episode to use the "A clue! A clue!" and "A clue!" phrases from Blue's Big Mystery.
  • This is the last episode to use the "Nope" line from Blue's Big Mystery.
  • This is the second episode Mailbox gets a letter with the first being Mailbox's Birthday. This is also due to opposites.
  • While the kids are laughing, Steve's clothes are wrong. Like it happened after What's So Funny?.
  • Kevin looks small in scene when he finds and draws the third clue.
  • In the opening sequence, Steve (wearing his opposite clothes) uses his normal voice instead of his original high-pitched voice (like in Blue's Big Treasure Hunt and Blue's Big Holiday).
  • This is the first episode in which Steve and Mailbox switch places and pretend to be each other. Steve pretends to be Mailbox who delivers the letter, and Mailbox pretends to be Steve who just got it.
  • On July 1st, 2019, when the show was taken down from the Nick Jr. Channel, this was one of the last 2 episodes to be broadcast before the reboot premiered 4 months later.
  • This is the fourth episode with opposites. The first one was in the Andy Griffith Show episode, "Sheriff Barney", the second one is in the SpongeBob SquarePants episode, "Opposite Day", the third one is in the Bear in the Big Blue House episode "As Different as Day and Night", and the fourth was in the George Shrinks episode, "George Unshrinks".
  • When Steve says goodbye to the opposite sisters, he says it in different voices. He says, "Bye bye!" in a normal voice, which is higher and "See you later!" deeply, which is lower.
  • The opposite sisters are similar to Fred and Ted, the opposite dogs in the Fred and Ted book series by P.D. Eastman.
  • In the book series by P.D. Eastman, Fred wore a green shirt and was taller and Ted wore a red shirt and was shorter.
  • Before Steve left the skidoo segment, the younger sister accidentally sledded down to her older sister's beach, which is not where she is allowed.
  • In the skidoo segment, the younger sister apologized after sledding down to the opposite place.
  • After the older sister says, "No problem!", the younger sister decided to go back where she belongs and not to sled anymore.
  • After the problem, the solution was that the younger sister went back to winter and the older sister stayed in summer.

Goofs[]

  • Chloe Briggs is credited as Chole Briggs.
  • Steve says he wears brown pants but they are actually tan.
  • The older sister said "No problem!" instead of "Go away!".
  • In the Pistas Da Blue version, when Duarte skidooed in to the opposite book. The Blue Skidoo, We Can Too music was out of sync.
