    I remember being so sad as a child when Steve left, it was like watching your best friend move. Then when his video came out in 2021 saying hi to us I honestly cried a little and was surprised by how much it meant to see him and hear him address what happened. My son watches Blues clues now and I was dreading getting to the episode where Steve left. I sat and watched the whole thing with him, and it was sad all over again. Watching my son ask where he was in the next episode and explaining that sometimes people leave when they grow up. Decades later and he is still teaching curiosity and actual life lessons.

    As a former certified Blue’s Clues kid, I think that the main appeal of the show to kid’s back then, and Steve references this, is the way that Steve spoke to the children. There is a certain level of respect that he gave the preschool viewership, speaking to them like human beings and asking them “What do you think?”
    It’s hard to imagine when you’re an adult, but as a kid, adults don’t really talk to you very often. They speak at you, but they don’t engage with you as another person. I think kids appreciated someone speaking to them, through the television set, in a way that made them feel respected and comfortable. I think that’s why people my age became attached to Steve as 3-6 year olds.

    Steve leaving the show was so difficult for me when I was little. I actually stopped watching it all together until this year when I had my own son. When that video surfaced of Steve saying he left for college and was proud of us, I was at work and immediately started crying lol. I guess the little girl in me really needed to hear that. ❤

      I think I was somewhere in my early twenties. I watched cartoons as any kid, and I basically never stopped. I still love animation.
      What drew me to Blue's Clues wasn't the animation though, there just wasn't that much there. It was the host, always wearing that green striped sweater. His energy. I mostly remember the little notepad and Steve drawing (as far as in aware, you just saw the hands drawing I think). The drawings were simple, but so satisfying to watch come into existence.
      I didn't actively go looking for Blues Clues, often I would watch it because another cartoon I did actively look for would come after. But it was a bit of a guilty pleasure. I very obviously wasn't the target audience, but I still found it entertaining to watch. There is no nostalgia factor for me, but there are fond memories.
      Dora is a very different show. I'm inclined to agree there is something to be said for a more open ended question like "what do you think" opposed to "where on the current screen do you see this picture right now?". I don't think I can compare the two shows, they are too different.
      Right now, Bluey is the big thing for this particular target audience. And whilst it is also a very different show, I feel like it is more similar to Blue's Clues in spirit. And the name is a nice coincidence. I kinda like the idea of Bluey being a descendant of Blue. Carrying the torch, as it where. I'm sure for parents everywhere Bluey is a lot more tolerable to watch with your kid than Dora ever was, and I feel like that was also the case for Blue's Clues. Not a parent myself though, so it is an assumption. Within the animation fan community (and I'm sure outside of it as well), there is a certain phrase that is pretty universally disliked. "It's just a kid movie/show". This phrase is usually uttered after a line like "who cares if it's poorly/ cheaply animated/dumb/simple/lazy/unimaginative" or "Who cares if it has poor writing/plotholes/cliche characters/etc".
      Basically saying that it doesn't have to be intelligent if its for kids, therefore saying that intelligent television is wasted on kids.
      That's nonsense of course, and a bad excuse for being lazy/a cashgrab without any creativity. It insults a kids intelligence. Blue's Clues definitely didn't do that. It was aimed at a certain demographic/ age group, but it respected that age group. Dora, at the end of the day, less so. Let me stress though, I'm saying 'less so'. Not 'not at all'. Dora is nowhere near bottom of the barrel.

      He kind has a point though…in Early Childhood Education open ended questions and positive feedback loops are considered high quality scaffolding whereas Dora’s call and response method is good at gauging recall and retention it doesn’t exactly allow for more language and creative thought. Both are necessary for cognitive development, but open ended questions really give room to grow.

    I've always been someone that applied tools to other things and found solutions to problems that may have other solutions, and it's all because of Blue's Clues, I'll always remember the episode about levers, and simple machines. As well as the episode about buying blue a birthday present, the little turtle.
    A lesson about learning about others and financial spending, as well as applied thinking. As you said. "What do you think?" Those words definitely resonate in me, and I always ask people what they think, I want to know because my curiousness due to blue's clues knows no bounds.
    Appreciate you Steve. I hope to pass videos of your adventures to my kids and encourage that same kind of thinking in them too.

    I don't think we, as a people could ever convey what you mean to our generation. My twin sons were born in 2003 at 25 weeks and we lost one. My surviving son was addicted to your show, and you specifically. You and Dora got me, as a father, through some terrible times. You were a friend to my son in the moments I broke down. Your lessons reached across the age gaps and helped us as a family to live, and love again.

    The reason we felt so heartbroken when Steve left was because we were a generation where a LOT of us had dysfunctional, or broken, homes and families. Our needs and emotions about things were brushed under the rug.
    Steve has such an amazing talent for talking to you as if there’s no one more he cares about in the world. He felt truly grateful for our help, and seemed to genuinely look at us and care about our opinions we were yelling at the screen. Very few people could do it with that much genuineness. He made us feel seen. For me, he was one of very few people in my childhood who made me feel important.
    It seems silly because it was just a kids show, but it’s true. I waited all day for blues clues to come on. I cried the day they aired the episode of him leaving, even though I was a year or two out of my blues clues phase, I watched with my little brother and was so sad he was going.
    Idk if he’s a match for Steve, but my kids watch Josh now, and he’s also very talented.
