## Trivia

* This episode was filmed on early spring 2021.
* This episode did not have Blue and Josh go indoors through the whole episode.
	+ However, they were inside at the beginning of the episode.
* Josh and Blue play the whole game of Blue's Clues outside.
	+ Just like the original episode, an outdoor thinking chair was used and was called the thinking rock.
		- Consequently, Josh replaces "thinking chair" with "thinking rock" in the "Play Blue's Clues" song.
	+ This is the first reboot episode where no one sits on the actual thinking chair.
* This is the fifth episode of the franchise that ends at night, the first four being Blue’s Big Pajama Party, "Pajama Party with Blue", "Bedtime Business" and "Sleepy Singalong with Blue".
	+ Unlike the former two episodes, this one begins during the day and ends at night, similar to "Our Neighborhood Festival", and bedtime is not a theme in this episode.
* This is the second time in the franchise that the sky was a clue. The first was Nature.
	+ However, in that episode, the sky clue was the third clue instead of the second clue. And in the original Steve used a sky blue crayon to draw the sky, but however Josh used his regular crayon to draw the sky.
	+ The Sky was also the answer to Blue’s Clues from Blue's Book Nook when Blue left three clues on the color blue, up, and a cloud.
* This is the fourth time in the franchise that a star (singular, not plural) was a clue. The other times were Pretend Time, Blue's Collection, and Sleepy Singalong with Blue.
	+ In Blue's Collection, the star clue was blue instead of regular.
	+ This is also the first time that a star was the third clue. In Pretend Time and Blue's Collection, it was the second clue, and in Sleepy Singalong with Blue, it was the first clue.
* This is the first outdoor episode in the franchise to feature an incorrect answer.
* This is the tenth episode where a body part was drawn. The others being a mouth from Anatomy and I Did That!, a tooth from Anatomy, a type of tail from Blue's Big Mystery and Animals in Our House?, whiskers from Blue's Big Costume Party and Spooky Costume Party with Blue, feet from Story Wall, scrunched up eyebrows, hands on hips, and a scrunched up mouth from Body Language.
* The sequence where Josh and Blue help the butterflies find their friends who look just like them was similar to when Steve and Blue help the jungle animals find their similar friends in "Pretend Time".
* This is the first reboot episode that the Mailtime segment takes place outside.
* This episode aired exactly 20 years after "Superfriends" premiered.
* This episode features a felt frame to have an original design from the original series.
* This is the second episode where the pupil was mentioned. The first being Anatomy when Steve helped Cursor find the taste buds, eardrums and pupil.
* This is the second time something from the video letter became a skidoo segment, the first being What I Like About Blue. This time, after the girl gave Josh and Blue the butterfly book, they skidoo into it.
* This is the fourth time in the franchise in which the host of any series skidoos into something random, but emerges out of the Yellow Frame. The first was Steve Gets the Sniffles, in which Steve skidooed into a story book, but emerged out of the Yellow Frame, the second was Welcome to Blue's Bistro, in which Josh skidooed into a farm card on the refrigerator, but emerged out of the Yellow Frame, and the third was Blue's Night Before Christmas, in which Josh skidooed into a snow globe, but emerged out of the Yellow Frame. In this episode, Josh skidooed into the butterfly book, but emerged out of the Yellow Frame.
* This is the first episode that Josh wears a winter jacket. Josh would later wear his winter jacket in A Blue's Clues Festival of Lights and Blue's Snowy Day Surprise.
