==Trivia==
*Four characters, Blue, Steve, Sidetable, and Mr. Salt, are confirmed to have appeared in the pilot. It can be assumed that the other residents of the Blue's Clues house appeared (see presumed list above), as they are present in "Snack Time."
*Clips of the pilot were shown as part of the documentary special Behind the Clues: 10 Years with Blue. These clips were the only portions of the pilot available to the public. More clips from the pilot came out in September 2021, when Nickelodeon's Twitter account posted a video celebrating the 25th anniversary of the show.
*This pilot episode was filmed in Fall 1994.
*Steve's shirt was a short-sleeved red polo, instead of his signature long-sleeved green striped shirt.
*Sidetable Drawer was yellow instead of red. Also, she resembled a drawing made with crayons in the pilot, while she appears to be made of clay in the series.
*Nick Balaban, the voice of Mr. Salt, originally gave the character a New York accent before deciding he should be French.
*Early concepts showed Blue as a male cat. According to Behind the Clues, her species and gender were changed after Nickelodeon executives said that they already green-lit a show starring a cat.
*The animation of the Blue's Clues house is different from the series, but the Thinking Chair is the same one used in further episodes.
*In January 2021, Angela Santomero revealed she has a copy of the pilot, and that it was filmed around 1994. And apparently, the reason she can only reveal it in parts is because copyright issues.
*In the premiere episode of Blue's Clues & You!, Steve has a detective agency named "Blue Prints Detective Agency", a homage to the pilot.
*Steve has a different Notebook than the one he uses in the series.
*The sky blue crayon in the pilot was produced by Crayola. The black crayons in the rest of the series were produced by ACME.
*The Skidoo was originally going to be a dance, but a song with lyrics was added in the final show.
