उदास सुराग

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.

I first saw this show when it came out. I was only ten, still a little kid, but still felt a little old for this. Steve is this really young guy who basically lives in an animated big blue house with his dog blue, and they educate little kids by giving them clues. Not to be sexist, in fact I'm the one who would probably punch someone in the face if they said this, I hate to admit it, but Steve Rocks cause he's a 23-year-old guy and he's so sweet like my mom said, and spends his time in a cute show with little kids wearing a striped green shirt. My older brother when he was 15! said in front of his friends, "Steve on Blue's Clues Rocks! He portrays himself as such a decent, old-fashioned guy who loves children, but as a 23-year-old guy! Yes, I know I said it, I was sexist again! Steve's really skinny, in one episode when he and one of the characters is weighing themself the character weighs 25, and with Steve on the scale only went up to 163, which would make Steve only 138 with his shoes on. I miss Steve, but Joe's cool too

We've just discovered Blue, as we babysit our under-two granddaughter. Our granddaughter's parents have recorded numerous episodes so they can be viewed at any time. I just found out, reading these comments, that Steve is no longer with the show, and haven't yet "met" Joe, so I'll have to comment on the show with Steve. We, like several of the reviewers, have liked Steve's talking to the audience as if they are "people", rather than condescending to them. His energy and enthusiasm are contagious! I hadn't known that Blue is a "girl" puppy until we started watching recently; that's a very good thing, because in children's stories, dogs always seem to be male, while cats always seem to be female. I'm interested now to see Joe, and am sure he's doing his own good things. I'm glad to hear that a believable transition was made for the audience's sake.

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!

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.
