Blue's Clues is a classic in childhood entertainment and honestly it's kind of a wonder that I didn't review it sooner. There's a lot to be said about just great the show is and even those who have never even seen it have at least a passing knowledge of what its about. The basic plotline of every episode is that the titular blue puppy wants something and leaves clues by putting
paw prints on various items. Then the host Steve has to solve the mystery to what Blue wants with help from the viewers. Yes, this is one of those interactive kid's shows but while this format can feel awkward in other shows, Blue's Clues uses it to its advantage and I always got a sense of pride feeling like I helped Steve solve Blue's clues. In case anyone is wondering, the title
for this review comes from the song right before the search for the clues begins. Another good song is the "mail song" which I actually sometimes find myself singing when I check my email. Last but not least are there are several amusing characters. Besides Blue and Steve, there's Mailbox, Sidetable Drawer, Pail and Shovel, the Shakers (Mr Salt, Mrs Pepper, and Paprika), Tickety, Slippery, Magenta, and Periwinkle. There's a spinoff called Blue's Room which I
haven't seen so I can't comment on that. I can say, however, that I wholeheartedly recommend Blue's Clues.
