A Running Gag occurred 4 Times Whenever Josh tries to get the Notebook, Mr. Sock Puppet Suggests a Potato.
Josh does two impressions in this episode. He does a Charlie Chaplin impression when he said: “Remember, Blue’s pawprints will be on the clues. Blue’s Clues.” He winked while doing it. He also does a Sherlock Holmes impression when he calls the gopher a “mastermind” and tells Shovel and Pail that they should figure out his pattern.
Differences[]
In the original episode, Steve wasn’t able to use a silly way to get rid of Blue's paw print, but in this episode, Josh uses a silly monster hat.
In the original, Steve realized the potato in place of the notebook during the theme song and corrected the mistake before continuing. In this one, Josh does notice the potato, but goes along with it and says "potato" instead of "notebook" during the song.
The sock puppet in the original episode was a sock puppet that Steve made in "What Does Blue Want to Make?", while the one in this episode was a premade one that came from the Silly Sack.
In the original, Steve and Mailbox made each other laugh with Groucho glasses. In this one, Josh and Mailbox made each other laugh with silly monster hats.
The scenes where Gopher pops up next to circular objects and things that fly were omitted from the original.
