** RuleOfFunny. It's also a show aimed towards Preschool/Elementary school kids, so it's possible that they wanted to make it a game most kids that age would recognize.

[[folder:Joe's Name]]
* This is a bit of a Meta question, but if the show needed to shorten Donovan Patton's name so it was easier for kids to say, then why didn't they make his name ''Don'' instead of Joe?

** Remember the game “Newsflash” from ''Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway'' Maybe Joe/Steve can’t see the paw prints unless the kids point them out.

** Paprika as her mother and grandmother are named after types of pepper. Paprika is ground pepper. Cayenne is a kind of Pepper. Cinnamon was named by Paprika. Mrs Pepper's dad is named Thyme a type of herb normally used to make Tea, probably from which the names of Sage and Ginger come.

** In Blue Clues and You Peri owner Aly is revealed. Some lines imply that at least in the Reboot universe he lived with his grandfather Mauve before, the Hosts just never met him.

** One interpretation could be that Steve is an AbsentMindedProfessor or a BunnyEarsLawyer and we only see him in his weirdest moments. He's not stupid, he just works in a peculiar way.

[[folder:Periwinkle the loner]]
* If i'm not mistaken Periwinkle's owner(s) has never appeared once. Are we really expected to think Periwinkle moved all those boxes out in the debut ep (assuming in the unlikely moving company did nothing) and is living alone by himself? If they do, I Doubt they'd let Peri hang out with their neighbours so soon and so often.
