Blue's Clues: The Wrong Shirt
Overview
When we come in, we find that there's something very different about Steve's clothing - he's wearing a button-down shirt that looks like his normal pants and striped pants that look like his normal shirt. Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper explain what opposites are and Steve seems to like the idea. We learn more about opposites when a guy named Bob skiddoos out a picture frame into the Blue's Clues house to deliver something to Steve. His presence often causes things to turn opposite. He has a magic ability that can fix it, but it's up to us to first find the things that are opposite so that we can tell him to fix them. Later, we skiddoo into a book where we help out two sisters that like opposite things to make their favorite places.

Episode 24: Prehistoric Blue
Shovel and Pail find dinosaur footprints in the backyard, leading Shovel to worry that dinosaurs might be lurking in the backyard, despite Pail's assurances that they became extinct millions of years ago. We help to calm Shovel's fears by identifying the real animals that are in the backyard. We have fun with Steve pretending to be dinosaurs, learning, among other things, the difference between meat-eaters and plant-eaters. In the Blue Skidoo segment, we actually head back in time and find out about a number of dinosaurs, from what they looked like to how they behaved.
Episode 26: Words
This episode is all about words - even Blue's Clues are all words. Blue has a big bag of words from which we pull out such fun words as ""wiggle"" and ""enormous."" We help Mr. Salt and Pepper to prepare a sald for their friends Mr. Oil, Mrs. Vinegar and Vinaigrette by using associations to figure out the meanings of new words. Later, we skiddoo, oddly enough, into a blank piece of paper. We soon learn that by using the power of words, a blank piece of paper can become an imaginative and exciting journey down a road leading to an exciting party.
