* This is the fourth episode to break the normal pattern of "Blue's *subject*" in Season 2. They didn’t even used season one’s subject pattern either. They use a totally different subject naming for this episode. Not “(Subject) with Blue” or “Blue’s (Subject)”

	+ The others were Thankful with Blue for Thanksgiving, Blue's Night Before Christmas for Christmas, and Spooky Costume Party with Blue for Halloween.

* When Josh was looking for the second clue, and the off-screen children said "clue", Josh thought they said glue, and thinks he sat on glue, which was a reference to Mailbox's Birthday when Steve was sitting on the chair clue. This makes Josh the 2nd Blue's Clues host thinking that he sat on glue.
* This is the first time that something from the video letter became a skidoo segment. Basically, after the boy gave Josh and Blue the love day card, they skidooed into it.
* In Love Day, Joe’s Notebook was heart shaped. In this episode, the notebook, had hearts on it.

* The hearts being sad and getting cheered up is similar to what happened in both Superfriends and The Thinking Squad when Steve (Striped Man) Josh, (Song Man), and Blue (Super Blue) helped Frank help out two sad superheroes called Fancy Dancer and The Runner feel happy after Frank danced with Fancy Dancer and tied the Runner’s shoes, and I'm So Happy! when Joe and Blue helped Felix, Maryann, and Trevor figure out on how to be happy and others were happy about some things like when Joe was happy that The Viewer knocks on the door and says, “Notebook,” Sidetable Drawer is happy with a smile, Periwinkle was happy about magic tricks, Shovel was happy about painting and dinosaurs, Tickety Tock was happy about dancing, Mailbox was happy about waving his flag, bringing the mail to Steve, Joe and Josh, and telling jokes, and Blue is always happy because the Viewer comes over all these years, which was the answer to Blue’s Clues when Blue left three clues on a pathway, a door, and the Viewer.
* Blue made a book again like she did in Blue's New Place when Blue left three clues on paper, a pencil, and yarn.
