Blue's Clues is a long-running children's television show, produced by Nickelodeon as part of their Nick Jr. preschool block. If you grew up in the United States, the UK, Portugal, or South Korea during the 1990s or early 2000s, the odds are good that this show will be familiar to you (under different hosts and names respectively).Set in a vibrant, candy-colored world of animated characters combined with a human host, the show features the escapades of Blue, a blue-colored dog (voiced by Traci Paige Johnson, one of the show's creators). Once an Episode, Blue will want to do something—be it read a book, have a snack, or make some kind of craft. However, as Blue seems to be the only creature in her world who can't talk, the only way she can communicate with her human owner is by playing Blue's Clues- a game in which she will imprint 3 objects around the house (or backyard) with her blue pawprint, labeling them a "clue." Once performed, it's up to her owner—along with the kids watching from home—to figure out what she wants to do by piecing together these clues.Compare to Llan-ar-goll-en, another Preschool Show about a live-action man and his animated female doggy sidekick finding clues (or in this case, solving mysteries).

Stealth Pun
 Blue's Clues / int_1e7c47ab
comment
Stealth Pun: Fittingly for a show called Blue's Clues, much of the soundtrack is, at least to some extent, influenced by the Blues musical genre: To start with, the intro music (and by extension, the "So Long Song") is built on a straightforward C-Major blues rhythm. (Sounding similar to, but arranged differently from 12-Bar Blues). There's also "Blue's Birthday Song" from "Blue's Birthday", which is more obviously blues-based. That said, much of the music in the show is Jazz-oriented, which would make it indirectly influenced by blues.

Angry Eyebrows: "Body Language" had Blue wanting to express an emotion (anger). One of the clues was a pair of "angry" eyebrows, and since the clues sing starting in mid-Season 5, it lead to the hilarious image of some cartoon eyebrows singing enthusiastically, "I'm scrunched-up eyebrows~".

Tomboy and Girly Girl: Blue's two friends, Magenta and Green Puppy are this, Green Puppy is a little more wild and is interested in demolishing things, as well as having a noticeably deeper voice and being referred in masculine pronouns by Steve once, while Magenta is more timid, artistic, and traditionally feminine, as well as being literally magenta. Magenta is also the Girly Girl for Blue tomboy, although it is quite Downplayed in comparison, since Blue has both moments where she acts like a girly girl and moments where she acts like a tomboy

New Baby Episode: "The Baby's Here" focuses on the birth of Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper's son Cinnamon, and how a lot of things will be changing, including their schedules and Cinnamon's diapers. The season one finale "Blue's News" has Steve play a scavenger hunt variant of Blue's Clues to figure out some "big news." The clues are Mr. Salt, Mrs. Pepper, and a bottle. The big news turns out to be Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper's new baby Paprika, who the cast meets at the end of the episode (which was foreshadowed earlier when Steve encounters Mr. Salt muttering to himself about spices). Paprika would become a recurring character for the rest of the series, growing up and becoming a big sister of her own.

Averted once the show started using "Another Blue's Clues Day"; near the end, Mr. Salt and his family would appear holding a banner with the episode's title, and Mr. Salt would read the title to the viewers. Later, Blue's Clues and You! would show the episode titles outright, along with the episode's writer.

Advertised Extra: Downplayed with Slippery Soap. During Steve's era, he was supposed to be a member of main cast, but he was actually the one with the least participation among the talking objects in the house, especially after Sidetable became an Ascended Extra, only having his personality truly explored in the Reboot and not having A Day in the Limelight until the fourth season of Blue's Clues & You. This is probably due to the fact that he was the most difficult character to the host record takes with on green screen, as he was constantly moving, with Steve Burns stating that Slippery was the character he least liked to interact with, as it was difficult to stay focused without knowing where he should be.

Early-Installment Weirdness

Early-Installment Weirdness: In the early episodes, Steve was much more excitable. In the first episode, "Snack Time", Blue is frequently shown with her tongue sticking out. She doesn't do this for the rest of the show; however, most plush toys released of her while the show was airing kept this. In the first episode, Steve said each kid’s name during Mail Time. Blue made a few additional barking vocal effects besides her typical "bow bow" sounds in some of the early episodes, such as a "ruff!" sound she would make in the opening sequence and in "Adventures in Art". This was dropped during the second season, most likely due to Magenta's barks using an "r" sound unlike Blue's. A different version of the theme song was used in most of the first season until the episode "What Does Blue Want to Make?". Blue would also hide in the same spot in the opening sequence until the same episode, where she would start hiding in different spots at the beginning of each episode. In early episodes, at the end of the So Long Song, the viewers would sing "We can do anything that we wanna do". This was dropped after the first few episodes of season 2. The season 1 credits only featured Blue and both the occupations and people's names were in dark blue. Beginning with season 2, more characters are added to the credits in addition to Blue and the occupations are in light blue while the people's names are still in dark blue. Blue tended to act a little more "canine" in the earlier episodes, such as carrying things in her mouth and licking Steve's face. This became downplayed as the show went on.

Bookends: Both figuratively and literally. Since most of the original episodes—if not all of them—take place in a book, each episode begins with the book opening and ends with it closing. In-Universe. Each episode begins with the "Friend" arriving at the house for today's story and then ends with them leaving.

Bookworm: Steve is a rare case who avoids Book Smart. He is a book lover who often reads his favorite books over and over again. In fact, Blue is a character from Steve's favorite book when he was a kid that came out of a book he read non-stop for days. One of his reasons for going to college is the new books he will be able to read there.

The Gadfly
 Blue's Clues / int_582564f5
comment
The Gadfly: Joe. Whereas Steve mostly causes trouble through inattention and later Josh through naivety, Joe seems to take genuine pleasure in teasing people in a friendly way. This is best demonstrated in "Joe Clues" where he offers a rivalry to Blue in her early episodes, to list he tricks the viewer, teleports himself off-screen to trick Blue and Tickety, gets into a chase with Blue so she can't find the last clue, falls apart among the toys so Blue can't find him among other things. Sidetable Drawer seems to take some pleasure in teasing the inattentive hosts by giving them random objects instead of their handy-dandy notebook or crayon, without them realizing it. Mailbox likes to tease the naive hosts from time to time while delivering their letters, although in his case it is mainly due to his interest in comedy and jokes. Gopher likes to play tricks on the hosts, and laughs whenever they try to outsmart him, seeming impossible to predict his next move.

Genius Ditz: Joe is a weird guy, acting much more like a cartoon character than the cartoon characters themselves, but he also demonstrates that he can be as intelligent or even more intelligent than Blue depending on the moment. Joe can be quite manipulative when he wants, he is very good at organizing games and is possibly the best of the three hosts playing Blue's Clues as he never gives wrong answers and is a natural pawprint cleaner.

Big Ol' Eyebrows: Joe has the biggest eyebrows in the main cast, being longer than most humans, and thicker than most animated characters. This is more prominent in illustrated media involving him, where most of the characters eyebrows are represented by lines, while Joe has more realistic eyebrows. Downplayed with Periwinkle when compared to Joe or his grandfather, but his eyebrows are noticeably thicker than most of the children in the series.

Edutainment Games: Two were released during the show's popularity peak: one for the PlayStation 1 and one for the Game Boy Color Later on, there was one released for the V-Tech V-Smile plug-and-play learning system. Apart from that, nearly a dozen edutainment titles for the PC/Mac (many of them by Humongous Entertainment—a demo version of Blue's ABC Time Activites can be downloaded from Infogrames). Many of them were surprisingly good.

Not Allowed to Grow Up: Averted with Paprika and Cinnamon. They both started out as babies who couldn't talk (having been born during the series), but over time, they started acting more like little kids instead of babies. By the end of the series, Paprika was speaking full sentences like the rest of the cast, and Cinnamon knew some words. Blue's Clues and You! continues this with Cinnamon now having his shaker cap shaped like a snapback reflecting how he's gotten a little older.

comment
Viewers Are Geniuses: Later episodes often covered topics that had been dealt with before, but rather than just being some rehash, they introduced new material. For example, the "Colors Everywhere" episode covered the familiar topic of mixing colors, but took it the new level of showing how the mixed colors could then be mixed with each other to create even more new colors. "Chartreuse, a color I had not seen, looks to me like a yellowish-green. ... Mix blue and yellow and they're suddenly green. Then blue and green makes aquamarine." Chartreuse is also featured in the episode "Blue Takes You to School", where it's pointed out as a color of a chair in the bedroom.

Formula-Breaking Episode
 Blue's Clues / int_670db7d7
comment
Formula-Breaking Episode: In "Meet Polka Dots," Blue opened the door to the Blue's Clues house and there were several segments in which time was spent with just Blue or Blue and her other friends rather than Joe while Joe attended to his stuffed duck Boris, who was having a nap. Perhaps most unusually, viewers got to actually watch as Blue placed her pawprint on each clue, something which had always been done firmly off-screen before. "100th Episode Celebration" doesn't feature a game of Blue's Clues and is instead a Clip Show and retrospective of the series due to hitting its' 100th episode. "The Legend of the Blue Puppy" also doesn't have the characters playing Blue's Clues at all; instead the plot has Blue looking for the lock that will reveal her "greatest gift"- kicking off the premiere of the Blue's Room segment (and eventual spinoff). "Skidoo Adventure" features Blue and Joe in the episode's "skidoo" location for the majority of the episode, and doesn't have them playing Blue's Clues. Rather, they need to collect the letters making up the word "home" to get them back home. "The Fairy Tale Ball" also takes place in the "skidoo" location for the majority of the episode, without the characters shown skidooing back home. "Blue's Big Pajama Party", "Bedtime Business", and "The Legend of the Blue Puppy" all take place entirely at night, while most episodes would take place in the daytime. "Nature!", "Blue's Big Car Trip", and "Soccer Practice" take place entirely outside Blue's house. "Blue's First Holiday" consists of two flashback segments presented as home movies, showing how Steve first met Blue and the first time Blue and Steve played Blue's Clues, with linking material. Blue's Big Musical Movie, "100th Episode Celebration", "Blue Takes You to School", "The Legend of the Blue Puppy", "Skidoo Adventure", and "The Fairy Tale Ball" do not feature a Mailtime segment.

Dub-Induced Plot Hole: The arc of Steve going to college wasn't kept in the UK adaptation, as Kevin Duala stayed as the host. However, when the Joe episodes were adapted, they still had Kevin wear Joe's shirts and use his notebook. Both elements were Hand Waved in "I'm So Happy!" (when Sidetable Drawer gives Kevin his new notebook) and the following episode, "Shape Searchers" (when Kevin reveals his new shirt and explains it's because squares are his new favorite shape).

While Sidetable Drawer received at least three different toys of her during the original series, Cinnamon would not get any sort of toy made of him until the reboot.

Colorful Song: The episode "Colors Everywhere!" has the song "Colors, Colors, Everywhere." In it, Joe sings about various colors, including how colors can be mixed and mixed again to make new colors, including ones he's never seen before, i.e. "Chartreuse, a color I had not seen. Looks to me like a yellowish-green. Mix blue and yellow and they're suddenly green. Then blue and green make aquarmine." This song was later redone for the remake version of the episode in Blue's Clues & You!.

I Can't Hear You
 Blue's Clues / int_7d6cda49
comment
I Can't Hear You: This is done in "Nature!" between Steve and the voice of the kid used to represent the viewer when the viewer discovers a waterfall and tries to point it out to Steve, but he says that he can't hear because there's a loud waterfall. Also, it's a fairly common Running Gag on the series for either Steve or Joe to mishear when when a child's voice says "A clue!".

Artistic License – Animal Care: Blue has consumed chocolate at least twice: in "The Snack Chart", chocolate milk turns out to be her favorite snack, and at the end of "Soccer Practice", Blue and Magenta eat chocolate ice cream. In real life, chocolate is extremely toxic to dogs.

Pawprint Stamping: In each episode, Blue, the titular blue puppy plays the eponymous game by putting her paw prints on three different items for Steve (and later Joe) to write down in his handy-dandy notebook and deduce what it is she wants when he sits down in the Thinking Chair. Blue indicates she wants to play it by putting her paw print on the screen, too.

What Happened to the Mouse?: Miranda, Magenta's owner, only appears in two episodes and is never seen nor mentioned again. In "What Does Blue Need?", we're introduced to Dresser, Ironing Board, and Washer. The former two never appeared again, while the latter made a few cameos in the first season and in some books before permanently only being shown in an "inanimate" form.

Nature Lover: Steve is constantly curious about everything, but especially about nature. Among his interests are botany, entomology and zoology, and he will be more than happy to do field research in different skidoo worlds or even in his backyard. In fact, he's even friends with the literal personification of Mother Nature.

Thanking the Viewer
 Blue's Clues / int_9bcc38c6
comment
Thanking the Viewer: The viewer is in fact the most important character in the series, and is universally appreciated for helping our friends in the universe, to the point of being considered a member of the house and a close friend of the protagonists, which is why every episode, special and film ends with the host thanking the viewer for all their help and wishing them to come back soon. A particularly sad variation was during "Steve goes to college" where Steve thanks the viewer for all the help while asking the viewer to continue helping Joe and his friends before saying goodbye to his friends.

Foreshadowing: An example is implemented in "Blue is Frustrated": The first clue, the sink, is discovered (and drawn) from the floor looking up, making it look like the sink is taller than it is. The answer to this game of Blue's Clues is that Blue is frustrated over trying to brush her teeth... because she can't reach her toothbrush.

Blue Oni, Red Oni: Joe is the red oni to Steve's blue oni. Joe is a keet incapable of sitting still, while Steve is more slow and needs to stop to rest frequently as he needs to eat to gather his train of thought. Joe has a more animated voice, while Steve is soft-spoken. Steve is more passive and relies on his friends to decide what to do, Joe is more likely to think outside the box and then thinks of many ways to break out of the routine during his era.

Real Time: The show gave every appearance of taking place in real time. Viewers follow the host through events in the Blue's Clues house and backyard, or into skidoo, without cutting away or any indication of additional time passing. In one installment, viewers even sat with Steve for one minute as a clock appeared on-screen counting down one minute as an exercise in patience. Another installment with Joe, "Patience," was all about finding ways to be patient to pass the time until an egg hatched at the end of the episode. There was even a song to go with it— "Wait. Wait. Wait. What can we do while we wait?"

Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: Downplayed as it didn't happen for every episode, but most "special episodes" during the Steve era (usually the ones debuting in a primetime slot) followed the "Blue's Big (Episode Subject)" pattern. As did the direct-to-video movie, Blue's Big Musical Movie, and the Story Arc of Cinnamon's birth was released across two videos under the Blue's Big News title. This extended to marathons airing on Nick Jr. that led up to new episodes, which would be titled "Blue's Big (Day of the Week)".

Digital Destruction: The first few seasons didn't exactly follow safe area standards. Rather, episodes were rendered with a lot of overscan that would otherwise be cropped off by most CRT televisions of the era. No attempt was made to fix this when the show was released digitally, which lead to a lot of editing mistakes that are very noticeable when watching the show on anything modern.

Retool: From the beginning, the Blue's Room spin-off never really caught on. So when they made it into a full series, they made several changes. The biggest was adding Blue's new baby brother Sprinkles as a regular member of the cast. Joe was also given a more prominent role and the sets were expanded. It still didn't work, and the program ended once its episode order was up, and has rarely been seen in repeats since. The entire series received one with Joe replacing Steve as the host in the fifth season. A new, vocal opening sequence replaced the original, several classic music cues from the show were replaced, and "We Just Figured Out Blue's Clues" was changed to "We Sat On Down" for the fifth season. Season six would add the Blue's Room segment, the theme song shortened, and the "So Long Song" replaced with "The Goodbye Song".

Couch Gag: In Steve-era episodes, what Blue hides behind in the intro is always different. Joe-era episodes, on the other hand, have him wearing a different colored shirt in every episode. Something consistent across almost every episode is what's in the Skidoo Frame in the living room. Sometimes it even changes between scenes. The same goes for what's on the felt board and the table in-between the living room and kitchen.

comment
Take Your Time: Blue wants a snack but won't tell us what that specific snack is. We have to waste god-only-knows how much time playing Blue's Clues to find out what snack she wants. She must not have been that hungry. Downplayed and in some instances justified, because all episodes seem to take place in Real Time, so we can be sure that things will be resolved in less than 20 minutes, which isn't that long. And besides, Blue's Clues is, as Steve and Joe point out, a really great game.

Character Catchphrase
 Blue's Clues / int_d308cbb0
comment
Character Catchphrase: "Bark bark bark!" (said with the same inflection as "No you don't!", to clarify) "A clue, a clue!" - Said by the pre-recorded children's voices whenever a clue is spotted. "We just figured out Blue's Clues!" - When the clue is solved. "Blue skidoo, we can too!" - When the host is about to skidoo (jump) into whatever Blue went in. "Now that we're three, what will we be?!" - The clues in the episodes in which the clues talked, once all three clues were found. "Whoa!" - Slippery Soap. "Mail's here, mail's in!", "Here's your letter!", and "You're welcome!" - Mailbox. "Blue's Clues, I'm so excited!" - Sidetable Drawer. Lampshaded in the CD-ROM game Blue's Birthday Adventure where she follows it up with "I always say that, don't I?".

The Ditz
 Blue's Clues / int_e2d457
comment
The Ditz: There's always at least one clue in the show (sometimes all three) where Joe or Steve will ask the kids if they see a clue, or where it is. It takes three times for him to finally understand what the kids are saying. ("A clue!" "A shoe? Yes, I'm wearing shoes." "No, a clue!" "You, too?" "No, a clue!" "Oh! A clue! Where?" "Right over there!") "Math!" has a variation: The first clue is an ice cube. However, Steve has just finished counting ice cubes in a tray (ten to be exact)... and is about to have a heart attack over the prospect of ten clues. Similarly, a clue is seen on a carton of orange juice in "Blue's Surprise at 2 O'Clock". Steve just drank some after being told of the clue. Cue Steve thinking he drank the clue.

With Lyrics: Two of the show's background music cues were extended and given lyrics on some of the soundtrack releases: On the album Blue's Big Treasure, the music used for the three clues in "Blue's Big Treasure Hunt" would be given lyrics as "The Things I Love To Do". The album A Playdate With Blue gives lyrics to Magenta's Leitmotif, "Magenta's Coming Over", as "Truly a Friend". Miranda and Steve also sing it with lyrics as "Magenta's Got New Glasses" in "Magenta Gets Glasses".

Slippery Soap: Slippery Soap (yes, that's his name) is the resident klutz of the Blue's Clues House. As his name suggests, he is a talking bar of soap. He's very clumsy and slips around a lot (so much that it almost ruins the gang's musical show in Blue's Big Musical Movie). His catchphrase is "Whoaaa!" and the show's intro sequence features him sliding into the window on a trail of bubbles.

Art Evolution: In the book releases. Take a look at the earlier ones and you'll find that Blue's face is a bit chubby and the blue coloring is rather dark. Then take a look at the later book releases - the coloring is lighter and Blue's face has been thinned out. This generally holds true for the other characters as well and there are other, more subtle changes to the appearance of the art. In the show itself, the animation was a little rougher in the first few episodes, editing mistakes were much more common (usually part of the background or a prop being cutoff or boom mics being visible) through the first season, and Steve's colors became a lot more vibrant beginning in the second season, as did the Thinking Chair.

Excited Kids' Show Host: Both Steve and Joe are two examples of this trope for different reasons.

Joe is a playful Big Fun who tends to act cartoony, play pranks and who loves to encourage his friends to try new things and change their routine.

Suddenly Speaking
 Blue's Clues / int_f1e6402d
comment
Suddenly Speaking: Blue in the Blue's Room segment, once she enters her playroom. Additionally, in the book releases, Blue was speaking before Blue's Room even started. Seriously, pick up any of the more recent numbered Blue's Clues book releases not set within the world of Blue's Room and you'll find that Blue actually talks out loud to Joe, Green Puppy, Magenta and everyone else. This was true even in some of the Steve books. Justified in the books as since readers couldn't hear Blue's (or the other dog characters) barking, and it was an easier way to show what they were saying in the medium (especially for instances where the dog characters would be talking to each other). Of course, astute viewers might note that Blue always could talk. Seriously, some of those barks were so specific that she pretty much was talking if you were clever enough to figure out what she was saying. The clues, beginning in "Our Neighborhood Festival" were no longer drawn by Joe but seemingly drew themselves as if by magic, then talked and sung a little song.

Running Gag: In "What is Blue Afraid Of?," Steve and Blue skidoo into a mansion with a ghost, Boo, who's afraid of his own name. Whenever Steve says it, the ghost gets frightened. Steve eventually catches onto this and starts getting quite a kick out of saying the name and watching the ghost jump in fright. There's also the joke about Steve mishearing "A clue!". "What Does Blue Need?" has a running gag where Steve keeps being sprayed with water.

When they become real parents they do their utmost not to neglect their own children, and at the same time caring for the others with affection.

comment
Comically Missing the Point: In the early episodes, whenever Steve goes to the Thinking Chair to resolve the episode with the given clues, he usually makes a bizarre guess, like Blue putting a cow in a cup and slurping it up with a straw (she just wanted milk), or wrapping a pillow in a blanket and reading it a story (she only wanted a nap).

Special Edition Title

comment
Special Edition Title: The show did this quite a number of times. In "Blue's Big Treasure Hunt", Mailbox calls "Mailtime!", and the episode starts prematurely. "Blue's Pajama Party" starts with a different version of the theme song, and the intro at dusk with fireflies. "What's That Sound" has the intro take place during Fall, and the theme song is replaced with nature ambience. "What Does Blue Want to Do on a Rainy Day?" has the intro become cloudy, and the viewer rings the doorbell. The sound of it distracts Steve for a little bit before he finally opens the door. "Blue's Big Holiday" has the intro at Winter (dictated by the leafless tree), with Steve wearing his sweater, and bells added to the theme song. "Blue's Birthday" has the house decked with party decorations, and Blue wearing her party hat while singing The Birthday Song. In "Nature", "Blue's Backyard Ballgame Bonanza", and "Joe Gets a Clue", both Steve and Blue aren't present at the beginning. In the former two episodes, Steve appears in front of the viewer on thier way to the door, while Joe does so in the latter. "The Wrong Shirt" shows Steve wearing a tan shirt and green-striped pants, signifying that something is a little off. "Stormy Weather", "Blue's Big Mystery", and "Blue's Collection" has the intro at Fall, similar to "What's That Sound", but with Blue hiding in a pile of leaves, and pumpkins at the front porch. "Steve Goes to College" has both Steve and Joe greet the viewer. "The Legend of the Blue Puppy" skips the second half of the theme song, and has Moona present the title against the blue moon.

Bigger on the Inside
 Blue's Clues / int_fe1b2e75
comment
Bigger on the Inside: The yellow house (Or "Blues Clues House") looks like a tiny cartoon house on the outside, but is much bigger on the inside, with a living room, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. Occasionally new rooms and doors appear in the house, which confuses the human hosts that have no idea of how the house works. Invoked by Miranda on "Shy", who says with all words that the house looks a lot bigger inside than outside.

Cross-Referenced Titles: "Colors Everywhere!," and, a little further down the line, "Numbers Everywhere!" There are two well-spaced episodes called "Nature!" and "Nurture!". "Blue Wants to Play a Game" and "Blue Wants to Play a Song Game".
