Wow! This is a really cute, fun, entertaining, and educational show. I said that because I watch this on Nickelodeon and Noggin with my 16-month-old nephew from time to time. It's hard to say which show on Nickelodeon and Noggin is the best. Still it's really cute, fun, entertaining, and educational. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say that the people at Nickelodeon and Noggin really know how to reach a toddler's developing mind. Now, in conclusion, if you have children, nieces, or nephews, I strongly recommend this really cute, fun, entertaining, and educational show. I guarantee you that they will enjoy it.

I love this show so much!!! This show is a part of my childhood. there is such heart and purity on this show. This has to be one of the most sweetest shows ever! Blue is so cute and likable and the other characters in this show are so great as well. It has to be one of the cutest shows ever and it was so great for kids. I will always love this show forever.

I saw an episode of this show nearly twenty years ago. After knowing a little about it, I had no idea it would have a long run. If there's anything that made the show such a hit, perhaps its the cute characters and the themes that are totally original. Also, the idea of picking up clues, and putting them together to get the answer could inspire youngsters to have strategic thinking like detectives.

Again, the show was such a hit that it ran for over a decade. And because of how long it ran, Blue's Clues is definitely one of the series that defined Nickelodeon, along with Dora the Explorer, and Spongebob.

If girls would wear shirts depicting Blue, boys would probably wear shirts portraying Periwinkle.

it is a sweet and super TV show i think you will enjoy this one of a kind show there is nothing like this it is a hot this is one of the best kid shows ever created i hope you enjoy it i think it is one of the coolest TV shows it is a classic there is nothing on earth like this you want believe your eyes it is a big hit well i think so and i hope you think the same way it is just a sweet TV show it is one of a kind it is a super TV show you will laugh hard after you watch this great TV show i like it a lot and i hope you think the same way but it is not the best but it is still a great show i really hope you enjoy it is out of this world well i think so i think it is a OK show but it is kind of boring but it is still good

Parents should be aware that Blue's Clues is a fun, interactive educational program with no objectionable material. Blue is a savvy, devoted companion, and the human host, Steve, and subsequently Joe, connect with their pals on the show and at home admirably.

Blues Clues was one of my favorite shows growing up. It still is. Well, the episodes with Steve anyway. It is a very good show for preschoolers beginning to learn. Steve plays games to find 3 paw prints that Blue has hidden in various places (on a cloud, on a jar, etc). Preschoolers will have a great time helping Steve find the clues, and Steve really has to return to the show because Joe took over. I think parents will like this show too, because I'm not a little kid but I still love it. I recommend this show to anyone, because it rocks and is fun to interact with.

10/10

OK, I'm not trying to sound like a guy who plays Xbox, and I understand that it's a kids show, but this show was very disturbing. First of all, both Steve and Joe (Steve was in the older seasons, while Joe was in the newer seasons) act like idiots for their age; they always require help from the kids watching to find blue paw prints that should be easy to find. Also, a lot of the voice acting sounds really bland, and could probably make your children drool in bore. Also, I understand this is pretty common in most kids shows, and it's not too huge of a problem, but this show was REALLY random. One minute, they're talking to salt and pepper shakers, the next they're talking to a bug-eyed bear, the next, they're talking to a pail and a shovel; now THAT's random! Finally, Steve or Joe always like to point out the obvious; for example, in the episode about Blue's birthday, Blue gives Steve a thank-you gift, and he points out that the tag says "Steve"; as if we didn't know that already! Yeah, it's a kid's show, but I don't think the show was meant to teach kids how to spell.

But now that I got the bad stuff out of the way, let's talk about the good stuff. First of all, this show could make your children very observant, as it always has to do with them finding paw prints made by the blue dog named Blue; if not for this show, I wouldn't be the observant man that I am today. Also, despite being more random than Ren and Stimpy, or at least Rocko's Modern Life, the characters are kind and likable.... for kids, of course.

So, as you can tell, this show gave me mixed feelings. I say just flip over to Sesame Street or something.

This show was my favorite as a kid! How could it only have a 6.8?

This show is bad. 'Cause it's my opinion. The reason i don't like it is because it gets me cringed out SO much. Another bad thing about the show is that the puppies were only represented in Blue and Magenta, which means they need more colors. Till Blue's Clues got good reviews, it bugs me a lot of times. The spin-offs suck too. If it's not bad enough, the episodes could be worse. All, not one. Bad Nickelodeon shows in my opinion: 1. SpongeBob (1/10) 2. Dora (1.15/10) 3. Loud House (1.3/10) 4. Paw Patrol (1.45/10) 5. Blue's Clues (1.6/10) 6. Bubble Guppies (1.75/10) 7. Backyardigans (1.9/10) !!

Take an adorable twenty-something guy, a computer animated blue puppy, add a dash of spices (Mr. Salt, Mrs. Pepper and Paprika to be specific), throw in your favorite preschooler and you have the perfect recipe for a delightful Nick Jr show. "Blue's Clues," and the format in which it is shown, are simply ingenious. In the show, Steve (the adorable twenty-something guy I mentioned earlier) is the only live action character in an animated world. Every episode, his dog, Blue, has something that she wants to tell Steve, and in order to do this, she goes around the house leaving blue paw prints on clues. While trying to find the clues, Steve often stops to help his friends (Slippery Soap, Mr. Salt, Mrs. Pepper, Paprika, Shovel and Pail, the Felt Friends and various others) with some dilemma they may be having (shapes, colors, what doesn't belong, etc). At the end of the show, Steve asks the children's help to figure out what Blue is trying to tell him. There are various songs that remain the same from episode to episode. The songs are simple enough for the child that I babysit to sing and dance along with. Each week, the same episode of `Blue's Clues' is shown for five days. The thought process behind this is that the more times a child sees something, the more they pick up from it and the better that they feel about themselves for having learned something. I have seen this plan succeed. On Monday, the four-year-old that I baby-sit asks me what the answers are. I dumb myself down as Steve does on the show in order for the little boy to learn the answers. On Tuesday, he's a little more vocal because he learned some things the day before. On Wednesday, he's interacting with Steve and Blue for a good portion of show. By Thursday, he has everything figured out and answers them easily. On Friday, he's a pro at it and answers the questions before Steve can even get them out of his mouth. `Blue's Clues' is a pleasant and welcome change from other television shows. It is totally interactive and because Steve relies on the kids help to figure things out, it makes them feel like good. Not to mention, it's 25 straight minutes where I don't have to worry about what the child is watching because I feel safe letting him watch "Blue's Clues".

This Blues Clues was iconic.

It was a sweet, happy wholesome show about finding clues and figuring out what blue wanted. Steve and Joe find clues all over the house, in pictures or sometimes on Steve or Joe themselves.

Blue is one mutt that I can respect. Despite his annoying barking.

The reoccurring characters are likeable and have charisma. Steve and Joe were great hosts. The songs such as the opening, mail song and closing song are iconic.

The clues were very easy for me as a kid. I got it often right by first clue.

Then there is the reboot Blues Clues. You can see my review on that one 27 thumbs down by people who don't have respect for quality.

1996 Blues Clues is legendary and should have remained retired. Even a Steve reboot would not be good. Let alone of what we got in the 2019 version (YUCK!!)

Verdict: Legendary Blues Clues.

When I was 2 years old, a new television show premiered on Nick Jr. titled "Blue's Clues", thinking it would be horrible, I was wrong. I enjoyed every second of it. Steve was by far the greatest host on the show. Since I loved this show so much growing up, my parents purchased me a lot of the merchandise ranging from the videos to the handy-dandy notebook. As the years went on, the rest of my family began watching it and enjoyed Steve's antics. Unfortunately, all of that seemed to have decreased once Steve left "for college" (in reality to become a rock star) and let his brother, Joe (Donovan Patton) take over as Blue's owner. We all cried when Steve left, and stopped watching the series after Steve left, and had refused to watch any episodes that had Joe, we only watched Steve's episodes. Joe just didn't seem to fit in well as the host, and I felt that he replaced Steve just to teach kids to do bad things.

All in all, Blue's Clues was an awesome show from 1996-2003! Be sure to show your kids this show, but don't show them the Joe episodes, show them the Steve episodes.

I saw this when the original actor was up there. Steve I think. So, they changed actors and the show went to put. I lov mail time song. The clues are cool as well. I also love the Blu puppy made and animated. Mr salt and pepper. My friends love Blues Clues as well. Please keep watching.

Blues Clues is a fun little educational show which covers many areas of interest. In some shows mathematical concepts, such as shapes and relative weights are covered. Others introduce concepts in art and music, or general skills, like determining the proper order in which to do things in a step by step process. Still others emphasize behavioral issues: responsibly caring for pets, dealing with fears, frustration, and frustrating individuals, to name a few.

Steve, the sole live action individual in the show, is a warm, non-threatening individual who manages to project a gentle enthusiasm without sounding sappy and saccharine. I was sorry to read that Steve Burns intends to leave the show, but can understand it for myself. There must be some point where one would want to throttle someone if forced to sing "We just got a letter!" one more time.

This show is really wonderful. My 3 year old adores it. It's very fun and interactive for young child. They way they pretend not to see things in order to let the child feel helpful and smart is an age old child rearing technique. I remember my parents doing things like that with me when I was very young.

It's friendly and their weird little family is nice and shows that people don't all have to be alike to get along. I like both Steve and Joe. It's also great that they throw in ASL.

All around good show no matter how old it is.

What a very great show ever defined, I literally miss this show so much now. Since I was born on 2006, and live outside America, my mom bought me a video home system when I was little. I say thank you to my mom, and now I can watch it. So, before when I was in preschool my mom let me watch "Blue's Clues" because the show is part of an education and it's because this makes a good learner to children. Since I don't see this on TV, I go watch it from a video home system. This is a very good show, I really like it because of how it defines this show. I grow older now, and I miss all of my childhood memories. I really wanna watch it like a hundred times.

You read it right. This is absolutely the best show I have ever watched on Nick Jr. It is fun for all ages.

Blue's Clues seems to be one of the most popular Nick Jr shows with older audiences and a favorite of many; I agree, it's one of the best shows in the entirety of Nick Jr's history! It's one of the least babyish preschool shows I've seen (more about that later). Surprisingly, I've come across little to no anti-Blue's Clues humor, much to my amazement and heart warmth! I have a small Blue's Clues collection, which consists of Blue, Magenta, and Periwinkle plush toys, a talking toy refrigerator with Blue, Mr. Salt, and Mrs. Pepper sitting on top, a couple of VHS tapes, a coloring book, and a Blue puzzle. I still watch this and have a very special place for it in my heart, even though I'm no longer the target audience.

The concept of a cartoon with mostly animated characters and a couple live action characters is original. I've seen various live action shows and movies with animated characters and a few other animated elements, but this is one of the only cartoons with any live action characters I've ever come across. The animation and art style look like no other cartoon I've seen before. The characters have cute and somewhat childlike designs (after all, most of them are kids and puppies), especially Blue, Magenta, and Green Puppy. The 3 dogs' barks are cute and original too! I used to imitate Blue all the time when I was little, and I still do once in a while. I don't know what else to say about this concept.

I always found the "3 clues" formula interesting and original. It allows Steve and Joe to use their "detective" skills to understand Blue. This shows that dogs don't have to talk in order for humans to understand them and they can use their paw prints to give clues, even in real life. Having a Blue-like dog around my house would be useful because my dog could help me figure out what kind of trouble he/she has caused while I was away, what kind of treats he/she wants, where something I misplaced like my socks are if he/she knows where they are, and lots more. Drawing the clues is not only more fun than writing them down, but Steve and Joe always show their audience how to draw, and their explanations of how they do it are so short and simple. I got to admit they're great artists! Looks like they can draw nearly anything (like me)! In the 6th and final season, the clues started to talk and draw themselves into the Handy Dandy Notebook, which goes against the idea of drawing tutorials. I myself used to have a Handy Dandy Notebook like the one Joe has, but I don't know what happened to it. Blue's Clues not only teaches how to find clues, solve puzzles, and think critically, but many other things too, like math, how to recognize patterns, shapes, colors, how to recycle, and best of all, the power of imagination!

Steve has a natural charisma and warmth, and he was like a best friend to many of his young viewers. He's engaging, lively, outgoing, and funny. What more could you ask for from him? At the beginning of every episode, he would greet the audience like they're old friends visiting for the day, make them feel like they're actually at his house and helping him play Blue Clues, and treat them like they're his friends, which allowed them to "bond" with him. He and Joe constantly tell their audiences that they can be anything and do anything they want to do. The concept of "fake" interactivity is handled better than in some other interactive shows, especially in the Steve era! Steve talks to the audience like they're actually there, and he doesn't scream nonstop, constantly state the obvious, ask dumb questions (e.g., "Can you see the castle?"), or underestimate the intelligence of children, unlike some other fourth wall breaking preschool show characters like Dora and Diego. Instead, he always tells his audience that they're so smart, which makes it obvious that he's not talking down to them and could easily boost their self-esteem! He's not as oblivious as he may seem at first. When the viewers succeeded in learning what he and/or his friends taught, he'd reward them with validation and sometimes a song. That, and in one episode, he puts his shoe on his head and his ear and pretends to think shoes actually belong there, but he clarifies that he did just to make the kids laugh and knows they actually belong on feet. I got to admit that was funny! Off screen kids were always heard responding to Steve and Joe instead of including moments of silence, and they could clearly hear kids for real, making the interactivity technically not fake. They would respond to all their viewers the same way, but it didn't feel like it. All the characters depend on each other like a family, which everyone can relate to, or wish they could! One of his funniest moments is shown an episode where a cloud is one of the clues, and he stares at the camera with a funny, confused look on his face and says, "How did Blue get a paw print on the cloud?" I wonder the same thing.

Blue's Clues has some of the most memorable and catchy songs out there. The Mail Song has always been my favorite! It explains the simple joy of receiving mail. What better than that? I sang it a few of the times I received mail. I consider it mail time's national anthem/signature song. Play Blue's Clues and So Long are a couple more of the best and most memorable songs. The former says you can do anything you want to do when you use your mind and take one step at a time and explains the importance of sitting down to think. There are a line in it that I find relatable "Sit down in our thinking chair and think, think, think. When we use our minds, take a step at a time, you can do anything, that you wanna do." How? I stop and think whenever the answer to a question I'm asked doesn't come to me right away. I try to come up with a guess, or I have trouble remembering it, and I always do the best I can to take my time, limit my thoughts, focus on one thing at a time, and not rush, which has been beneficial for me for many years. I'm not very good at doing the opposite. I'm going to try not to go too much in detail, but the latter has catchy rhymes about sendoffs/closings and it says "so long" instead of "goodbye" (hence the title), which eases the pain of goodbyes. There are fast and catchy songs about planets, colors, the alphabet, and more. I like the song about the alphabet better than the regular Alphabet Song (don't get me wrong, I like that one too)! The song about colors, "Colors, Colors Everywhere" not only mentions the names of the colors but also mentions all the things one can do while mixing colors together. We are Looking for Blue's Clues, We Just Got a Letter, and We Just Figured Out Blue's Clues do repeat their lyrics and don't have a lot of different lyrics, but they're short, which means I don't have to hear song lyrics being repeated 500 times per episode. I can't say the same about the Dora songs. Steve and Joe's vocals are smooth, calming, and soothing to listen to.

I heard a number of fans thought the show went downhill or have stopped watching it when Steve left and got replaced by his brother Joe. For the longest time, I thought Steve was the regular host and that Joe would fill in for him when he was unavailable, but I knew all along that the two of them were brothers, and I've seen some episodes where they appear together way back when. Now I know the former left after the 4th season and got replaced by the latter. In case it isn't obvious, I grew up with both of them. I was born not too long after Joe came along, so no wonder. I myself have never been able to handle big changes very well either for the most part. I was always more into Steve, but Joe is cool too. Long story short, the transition from Steve to Joe was handled better than the transition from Greg to Sam in The Wiggles. At least Steve actually had a sendoff, warned his audience about his departure ahead of time, had a couple of guest appearances after he left, and Joe was introduced shortly before he left. The transition from Greg to Sam could've been handled similarly. The season 4 finale, "Steve Goes to College," is emotional and would've ended the series perfectly if it was the series finale! Blue's Clues is heartwarming, charming, and down to earth. I repeat, it is one of the best Nick Jr and Noggin shows ever! I couldn't have asked for a better childhood!

Seasons 1-4: 10/10 Season 5: 9/10 Season 6: 7/10.

Blues Clues is the most inviting, creative show on television. It stars a guy named Steve and he and his puppy, Blue, have fun playing the Blues Clues game. Blue, a computer generated dog, is ADORABLE and her voice is fun to listen to! Parents have just as much fun watching it as their children, and I should know! (Blue is a she by the way.) Move over, Telletubbies. Goodbye, Barney. Blue is here to stay!

This used to be one of my favorite shows when I was two years old, and I loved it. A few weeks ago, I was watching it again with my ten and a half month old half-sister, and saw this random new guy doing the show, and I was thinking, "When did that happen?" I still liked the show as I watched it with my half-sister, and the only reason it was being watched at all was because I wanted to see it, really, and the baby was a convenient excuse. But anyway, I think I enjoyed it a great deal more when I was a little kid when that guy who did it originally (whatever his name was) was starring as Blue's owner.

P.S. Sorry that I can't remember any names other then the dog's (his name is Blue, by the way).
