Recap[]

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.

Trivia[]

  • This is the first episode where Steve Skidoos into the jungle. The second is "Pretend Time."
  • This is also the first episode where a single pawprint would be used for each clues.
  • This is the only episode where 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?".
  • Cody Ross Pitts is listed as one of Steve's friends. He will eventually voice Slippery Soap in the series.
  • This is Tickety's second appearance and the first time she talks. She 1st appears in the previous episode, "Snack Time," but does not talk.
  • 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 "The Lion Sleeps Tonight", when he says, "We're in the jungle, the mighty jungle."
  • In the Mailtime segment, some Dr. Seuss books can be seen in the background, including Oh Say Can You Say? and The Foot Book.
  • This is the first episode to have a question as to 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.
  • When Steve said, "Let's clean this up, and then we can go look for more Blue's Clues", the children 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 is around.
  • During The So Long Song, Steve sings the So Long Song quietly instead of normally and loudly because it was Blue's nap time.
  • This episode features a Noggin Blue Ball logo.
  • This is the first time that Blue did not join in The So Long Song.
  • Clips from this episode were seen in the story that Josh read in this video on the Blue's Clues & You! YouTube channel.
  • 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.

Goofs[]

  • Traci Paige Johnson, Michael Rubin (under the stage name Seth O'Hickory), and LaNae Allen do not receive any credit whatsoever for their roles as Blue, Mailbox, and Sidetable, respectively. Plus, Cody Ross Pitts is credited as Cody Pitts.
  • Blue suddenly appears and somehow sneezes when Steve sneezes, but she wasn't in the way of Steve's cleaning up.
  • 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.
  • It was nap time for Blue before The So Long Song started, but she woke up to say goodbye to the viewers at the end of the aforementioned song.
