Question:
"What Time Is It for Blue?
Trivia[]
This is the first episode where Steve Skidoos to the jungle. The second will be in "Pretend Time."
This is also the first episode where a single pawprint would be used for each clue. This would be later be in permanent use starting with Weight and Balance.
This episode is unique in which Steve gives three wrong answers instead of one:
During the first clue review, he said, "Is it time for Blue to hide under the blanket?".
During the second clue review, he said, "Is it Blanket and Book Time?".
During thinking time, he said, "Is it time for Blue to wrap a pillow in a blanket and read it a story?".
This is Tickety's second appearance and her first speaking appearance. She first appears in the previous episode, "Snack Time," but is silent.
When Blue and the viewers are trying to find Tickety's numbers, one of the choices is a jumble of letters from multiple alphabets, including the Hebrew letters ב (Bet) and ש (Shin), the Russian letter Э (E), and the Greek letter ψ (Psi).
Steve refers to the song as "The Lion Sleeps Tonight", when he says, "We're in the jungle, the mighty jungle."
This is the first episode to have a question as the title.
The book that was read at the end: "A Puppy's Day", appeared on a shelf earlier when Steve found the second clue (a book). It reappears later in "Blue's Story Time".
A shorter version of this episode's closing credits theme was later reused in the third season's "Blue's Big Pajama Party."
This is the first episode Steve does not sing We Just Figured Out Blue's Clues after getting up from his thinking chair. Instead, he runs over to the viewer and sings a quiet lullaby song about Blue wanting her nap to the tune of the one by Johannes Brahms on a mandolin.
When Steve said, "Let's clean this up, and then we can go look for more Blue's Clues", the kids in the audience said the last two words that were used in each verse from "the theme song". This also happens in the previous episode, Snack Time, and the next episode, Mailbox's Birthday.
This is the first episode where Steve sings, "We can do anything that we want to do" without the kids/children.
This also the first time the line "We can do anything that we want to do" is sung twice. It will later be like this when Joe hosts.
During The So Long Song, Steve sings the So Long Song quietly instead of normally because it was Blue's nap time.
Kookaburra's laughter can be heard from the living room picture frame after the Mailtime segment, therefore, switching into the skidoo segment. Steve then promptly asked Blue where the sound came from; it played until Steve skidooed into the picture.
At the end of the letter, the kid does not say, "Bye, Steve!". Instead, she says, "Those are my favorite times. Bye!" and the ending of "We Just Figured Out Blue's Clues" does not play until Steve says, "Bye! Thanks, everybody." before he closes it. As it turns out, Steve closes the letter as the tune plays.
This is the first episode where nap time happens as the answer. This will happen again later in the video letter in Joe Gets a Clue, where Kierstin leaves clues and her sister A'Kyra has to find them.
Before the credits, a shush plays as the door closes.
After Steve says, "Hello, Tickety Tock!" to scare her, Tickety gasps, causing her parts to get blown off, but what she means is "Achoo!".
When Steve says, "Thanks, Tickety Tock!", what he means to her is "Goodbye! And promise me that I won't wake you up again, now that you just stayed awake.".
There are no memories at the end of the episode.
After the letter, Steve's extra line of dialogue is "Thanks, everybody!".
Goofs[]
Traci Paige Johnson, Michael Rubin (credited as Seth OHickory), and Aleisha Allen were not credited for their roles as Blue, Mailbox, and Sidetable. Additionally, Cody Ross Pitts is credited as Cody Pitts.
When Steve skidoos into the jungle, a small part of his head is cut off.
Blue suddenly appears and sneezes when Steve sneezes, even though she wasn't in the way of Steve cleaning up.
After Steve gets up from the thinking chair after mail time, the living room is not centered correctly and is slightly shifted to the right.
After Steve draws the third clue (a pillow), the pawprint is still shown on the pillow.
When Tickety jumps up right before she breaks apart, her eyes briefly disappear for a few frames and then reappear.
Just after everyone starts sleeping, Steve puts down the book he read to everyone. When it's put down, you can see that it's floating at the bottom of the chest.
Blue was supposed to be napping before The So Long Song started, but she woke up to say goodbye to the viewers at the end of the song, and she also appears during end credits and when she plays with her ball and winks as well.
This error is fixed in Bedtime Business, where she does not show up at the window.

Steve's body is also cut off when he skidoos back home.
Blanket: A blanket provides warmth and comfort, which are essential for a cozy nap. It's common to use a blanket to snuggle up during naptime.
Book: Reading a book before naptime can help relax the mind and prepare for rest. Many people, especially children, enjoy a bedtime story or a relaxing read before drifting off to sleep.
Pillow: A pillow supports the head and neck, providing comfort and proper alignment for a restful nap. It's a crucial element for a comfortable napping experience.
Wrong Answers:
Time for Blue to hide under a blanket
Blanket and Book Time
Time to wrap a pillow in a blanket and read it a story
Felt frame picture:Felt cat sleeping with a green ball
Snail Appearances: (1. under the bed in the bedroom.) (2. on a tree in the jungle.) (3. on top of the felt board picture frame.)
Plot[]
We are concerned with what time it is and while we try to figure it out, we help our friends and also played the Blue's Clues game while having some fun along the way. Steve scares Tickety Tock which causes her to get disturbed and loses her arms, numbers, and bells, but we fix her. They do some cleaning by picking up some clothes and stuffed animals and putting them in Steve's closet by solving patterns. In the Mailtime segment, a girl talks about the things she loves doing at school, such as playing a drum with her hands (without sticks), playtime, opening her own personal carton of apple juice, and lunchtime. Blue and Steve skidoo into a jungle and have some fun finding animals (a frog, an elephant, and a monkey) by imitating their sounds.
