The lyrics to the So Long Song have slightly changed in this episode, "But we'll sing just one more song" has changed to "So we'll sing this goodbye song", "Thanks for doing your part" has changed to "Thanks for coming tonight", "You sure are smart" has changed to "You sure are bright". The Talking Clues are absent in this episode, despite Polka Dots appearing in this episode, so Joe draws the clues in his notebook instead.

This is the first episode in the reboot to take place at night and this is also the first time the theme song had a variant. The variant is that when the song is halfway through, the sky turns from sky blue to sunset purple. When Steve and Blue skidooed into space, Earth made a complete spin. So when they returned, it should not have still been the same night; however, it was. The fourth (third if you don't count the three-episode Season 4 finale) was the Season 5 episode special 100th Episode Celebration.Furthermore, Blue also took out the pillow notebook replaced by the regular version of the notebook in the theme song, as usual. This episode does not end with the reversed scene of the door closing and Blue waving goodbye to the viewer in the left window, Steve quietly sings The So Long Song in his bedroom instead of the living room, and Blue does not join in, or show up at the window to wave goodbye to the viewer in one of the windows because she is sleeping in her bed, and it ends when Steve turns off the light. The picture in the living room picture frame however, is different than the one in " What Experiment Does Blue Want to Try?" (the one in this episode shows the Earth and the moon).

There was no "Blue Skidoo" segment in this episode, due to the fact that skidooing wasn't featured at all in this episode. The Sleeping Bag was purple with white spots. In the original, it was colored blue with light blue spots This was the last time where the quiet version of The So Long Song was featured and also the only episode where Joe sang that version. This is the second episode in the series to have rare bonus scenes that are hardly seen, the first was Blue's Birthday, where the bonus scenes are shown in the VHS version. This is the debut of the improved version of Steve's hair from Hide and Seek, but this time, his bangs were added again.Revealed in this episode, Blue had a boy stuffed puppy named Polka Dots (formerly referred to as female, before officially declared a male).

In the Duarte version, this nighttime version of the notebook is used throughout the whole episode.

Deviation Actions

This episode shared the same name with a song from Goodnight Blue that also appeared in a music video from the 2000 VHS release of "Magenta Comes Over". Alexander Claffy, the voice of Purple Kangaroo, and Danielle Gonzalez, relative of Animator Dayna Gonzalez are both friends of Steve in this episode. The second is Blue's Big Musical, which had the credits in front of the red curtains written up in cardboard text. In the remake, Mrs. Pepper and Mr. Salt called Josh to see the sun going down, but in the original, Mrs. Pepper and Mr. Salt didn't call Steve. The usual Blue's Clues instrumentals are replaced with a different kind of music to go along with the quiet version of the Blue's Clues song.
