Las pistas de Blue

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.

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!

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.

Even as a teenager, I enjoy this show. My little sister adores it, and the educational value is high. It gives children a chance to feel good about themselves while learning something, and as the same show is replayed for a week, children get maximum benefits. The characters are good and cute, along with Steve. He is a cute little guy, and a positive influence for children. Kids feel like they can identify with him. Unlike many other children's shows, this possesses some actual value, and kids adore it. It is good enough for even me to watch with my little sister on weekdays when I do not have school.

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.
