No, infamous being exclusively for being bad could be wrong too. Infamous could also just mean it did something controversial or exceptionally strange. Negative connotation, not negative definition. So, you were right the first time. Comments sections are just being toxic as usual...
I so agree with the comment about the millennial and gen Z discourse. "I grew up with the GOOD Spongebob episodes" Uh yeah, we all did, they still air.
No that's exactly why I tried to watch it as a kid despite being like probably 8. Old enough to think I was a little too old to still watch it. I wasn't 4 anymore loved Blues Clues everything I got that year for Christmas. I was hoping for it to be something like the vibes of Kipper, or even Oswald, or Madeline. I was expecting a more chill show. based off of how pleasing it looked.
My dad would always go “a-doodle-doodle-doodle” when writing something around us (me and my siblings), or drawing something. He passed away when I was 13 to pancreatic cancer. And it kept ringing in my head until I finally found where it came from, Blues Room, a few months ago. He was so perfectly silly, I love you dad. Edit: I’m 19 now, for context. :)
SAMEEEE I used to watch it at my grandma’s all the time growing up. I loved Blue’s Clues so much that I didn’t completely grow out of it until I was 8. A lot of that is due to Steve being such a damn good host: engaging, lively, outgoing, funny. Like, he knew how to talk to little kids without talking down to them. (Which isn’t as easy as it sounds)
I had the honor of meeting Steve’s Actor last year at my local comic con. He is truly the sweetest person I’ve ever met, he even took time to make a video with a person who was mentally and physically handicapped and NO ONE in that line minded to wait even though a lot of us had been waiting for 40 minutes or more. It was so nice.
Also thank you for pointing out that Gen Z shares a lot of experiences with Millennials/90s kids. I was born in 2001 and I didn’t even hold a smartphone in my hands for the first time until I went to middle school in the early 2010s. Heck, I grew up with a whole collection of VHS tapes. 😂
it’s PAINFULLY true 😭 saw someone say gen z has “never had a flip phone” but that was my first phone in 2nd grade. i mainly grew up on VHS tapes in the early years of my childhood as well!
And even then its just stupid to beef with a generation for being raised different anyway. Its like the whole boomers vs milennials thing but even dumber
I grew up with an older (still Gen Z) sister who, herself, was influenced by our many millennial cousins. We listened to music on both our iPad and boom box indiscriminately
I grew up with both Steve and Joe, since the Joe episodes aired on Nick Jr. in the mid-2000s and the Steve episodes aired on Noggin during the same time. I like both of them and I feel like they both brought something unique to the series.
I literally screamed out loud "ITS BLUE TALKING ON VIDEO!" because i basically had those commercials memorized as a child from watching Nick Jr DVDs all day🤣. I do remember loving this show. The one i remember most is the one where Sprinkles is trying to sleep and we had to help them out.
SAME! My parents bought me Nick Jr dvds to watch on long road trips (we traveled quite a bit when I was younger) and those advertisements are forever in my memory because of that. In fact I cried out of nostalgia when I heard “And these other Blue’s Room titles! Now available on DVD and VHS!”
I swear I have more memories watching Blues Room and its 17 episodes than most of Blues Clues, (I vividly remember all the Joe seasons) but I recently been going through old Childhood DVDs and coming across that Blues Room DVD Commercial brought back so many memories 😭@@princessofweirdsville9000
Literally one of my earliest memories is watching the episode Steve goes to college and having a complete meltdown and crying saying "I'm never going to college"😭☠️
As an older gen z (98) I remember Steve very well, but for some reason I definitely remember Joe way more. Older ppl forget media doesn't STOP just when they get older. Theres gen alpha who listen to the beatles.
@@princesspikachu3915 Man I have no concept of time because I think I had blue clues dvds with steve, which is why I remember him so much, but I definitely remember watching Joe on the actual tv. So that's probably why I feel like I grew up with both but just remember a more diverse amount of Joe and less reruns.
@@AJ.the_ray.j My kid is a Gen Alpha (2017) who loves the Beatles and of course Yellow Submarine. I wasn’t the one to introduce her either. She took a liking to them because they played them on the radio.
I really hate when people try to Gatekeep Blues Clues from Gen Z because shocker I also grew up with Steve oh my gosh wow never before seen Honestly I grew up on anything Blues Clues, whether Steve or Joe were hosting or Blues Room I didn't care and loved all of it. Based on stories from my family I've been watching this show since I was a literal baby. It means so so so so much to me and I really hope I have a chance in the future to meat all the three hosts
Steve left the show 4 months after I was born, but I grew up seeing his episodes on TV and home video as well as Joe. And I loved them both: my favorite BC episodes were the ones where they would play together (Joe and Tell, Joe Gets a Clue, Steve Goes to College).
Pam Arciero aka Oscar the Grouch's girlfriend Grungedetta was the lady who built the Blue's Room puppets. She still has them all! She has them up in her attic just in case they ever need them.
Just to be clear for those who are truly a Blue’s Clues fan, this episode is not quite consider the series finale of Blue’s Clues, since the setting still takes place in Blue’s Room (even if some characters from the OG series appearing in the special). Plus the Blue’s Clues logo doesn’t appear in any way.
As someone who watched the original Blue's Clues growing up, I rarely had the chance to watch Blue's Room. I was in 1st grade when Blue's Room premiered.
I was born in 95, and I think it's absolutely fantastic that you got to watch one of the shows that I grew up with, and I'd personally never gatekeep someone enjoying something long after it's been off the air. If I ever have kids I'll definitely be showing them Blues Clues. If they don't like it, that's fair, but if they do I can personally attest to how much it has shaped my early years. I'm glad you got to experience it!
Joe(Donovan Patton) later went on to voice Bot on Team Umizoomi, came back for the reboot Blue's Clues and You, and also is CatRat on Gabby's Dollhouse (which is made by the creators of Blue's Clues and has been or even more popular than that show).
As for Blue's Room - the problem was that Dora The Explorer was becoming Nick Jr's cash cow by the time Blue's Room debuted - pretty much ruining any chance of success - the same problem that is hurting Blues Clues & You, because of those certain pups from Canada that have basically taken over the Nick Jr. lineup.
40:36 Oh my goodness!!! I can hear her!! Lol I LOVED both Blue's Room & The Sunny Side Up Show when I was little. SO much that I ended up having a dream where Blue & Sprinkles were guests on the Sunny Side Up show. It was AMAZING!!!
Speaking of blues big city adventure fun fact I was in New York going to college well they were filming that and saw a tone of signs for it, the sidewalk decked out in blues big city adventure logo stuff and even a couple roads blocked off for filming. Watching that movie isn’t just a nostalgic trip for me but also a “Oh MY GOSH! I KNOW THAT LOCATION! I’VE BEEN THERE!” Moment. Not that anyone asked I just wanted to share that.
Those Blue’s Room advertisements made me feel like a sleeper agent. Haven’t seen them in probably 15 years but they’re gonna be stuck in my head for weeks now.
As a boomer, i was around for the original host in the 90s. The series came out at a great and innocent time for children shows. Things were original and had intent of a message. Blues clues is multi-generational. Love what youre doing here! ❤
So I'm a little older (Born in 1991) and I remember the DAY Blue's Clues started airing. It was my favorite show. My mom had my half-brother in 2004, so I ended up being immersed in preschool/toddler media again whether I liked it or not and finding that Blue's Clues was STILL ON when my brother was born and sharing the experience with him even though I was a teenager at that point really says a lot about what Blue, Steve, and the gang did for generations of kids.
Those puppies definitely look huggable! I kinda need a plushie now. And I love you telling off the haters, people need to calm down in the comments sometimes lol
When I was 3-4ish I had a bunch of Max and Ruby and Backyardigans DVD'S I'll watch and I would rarely have a working remote for the DVD player (mostly I either lost it or had no batteries for it) and because of that I actually memorized the ads before the select screen and that's how I was able to know what DVD I was watching and I remember both seeing both of those Blues Room ads so that was already nostalgia for me
Blue's Room was one of my favorite shows when I was a kid. To me, see Blue talk was something I'd really loved to see, and my wish came true, and the puppets looked really well made as well!! 💙💙
As someone who grew up in a period of time where you were frowned upon for liking Blue's Room, it makes me so happy to see this video. Blue's Room is such a good show and the way they handled the whole idea of Blue being able to talk was genius. I wish we had more behind the scenes info regarding this show cause I find it to be such a fascinating piece in Blue's Clues' history. If you haven't already, I'd highly recommend checking out some of the shorts they made, not the ones on the Blue's Clues TV show, the ones made for the Nick Jr block and Noggin. You can find them on a few DVDs, I think most of which have been uploaded to the Internet Archive. Thank you so much for what you do, and keep up the great work. It's honestly really cool seeing how far you have come. 💙
32:55 I also had an animal fixation when I was little, but for me it was penguins. I used to have a whole collection of penguin plushies and I had March of the Penguins on VHS. The first Happy Feet movie was released when I was 5, and a family friend bought me a stuffed Mumble toy, which I still have to this day.
this show was before my time (i was born in 2009) but i still had it on dvd and i would watch it like every day when i was little. i vaguely remember my favorite episode being that jungle one idk how to describe it it's been like 10+ years since i even thought of it.
MY ENTIRE CHILDHOOD1!! i had the cd rom game growing up and I made little masks and did the printble activitys and MATEEEEE it was better imo.. 4 year old me would be so happy
I barely remember this series, like I THINK I saw it in my young years. I was AWARE of the original Blues Clues series at the time, and still am today, but never this "spin-off" series...
Oh my gosh, this was such a nice nostalgia trip for me. I remember growing up, I had 2 VHS tapes of Blues Clues that I'd rewatch (Blue's Birthday episode, and an episode where Blue and Steve go on a treasure hunt). I think when Blues Room aired, I thought it wasn't my thing because I felt that her working with a human host was missing in Blues Room. Thank you for the video.
This show was a show I swear no one else remembered other than me and I was OBSESSED with as a kid and still am now so like oh my god I screamed I’m so excited I’ve been waiting for this day
To add to your point about the holiday special, I'm also Gen Z and a bit older than you are and I remember a Blue's Clues holiday video tape where either Steve or Joe took Blue around the neighbourhood and visited Blue's friends celebrating different holidays like Kwanza or Chanukah, and Christmas too obviously, so these creators have always made it a point to highlight different holidays and I think that's delightful 😊 Side note, if you pay attention there's a lot of signing in the episodes of the regular seasons too I remember Steve even having a def friend at one point
this show feels like a fever dream that only i remembered so it's nice to hear someone else acknowledge it lol. i remember i had a dvd for the show and i was obsessed with it as a kid i dunno if this makes any sense but it _feels_ like the kind of show that had a run of several years and was pretty popular, and yet it ran for 17 episodes and was really obscure
The special connection I had to both Steve and Joe was that it's both my name and my brother's, so we had that looking up to them. It got even more special with the intro of Josh because that's also the name of my brother's best friend. For that reason, the show will always hold a special place in my heart.
I watched this show in kindergarten and enjoyed it a lot! Blue's talking voice was very sweet and mellow. Roar E was cute too and I to this day I find myself singing "get ready and set let's go Blue is talking on video" - so catchy
Blues Clues was one of the first shows i ever watched as a kid and i loved it so much. I even had inflatable thinking chair with Blue peeping her head behind it. It truly holds a special place in my heart and i will never forget it for as long as i live. Genuinely i get teary eye whenever i think about it or rewatch the intro to it. Long live Blue 💙
Oh dude, the NOSTALGIA BOMB that I felt when you played that ad..... I always saw that exact one on an old dvd my sibling and I watched as a kid. I had been so sad that Steve left (admittedly finding out ages after watching reruns lol) that five year old me essentially boycotted the show without knowing what a boycott even was- but that ad on a different dvd gave me hope in the show again and I was able to keep watching those older episodes, one day wanting to learn about this newer series- I never thought that today would be the day I healed that part of my inner child. Thank you for this knowledge!!!!!!!
I was very honored to meet the 3 hosts-(mainly for Steve because I grew up watching Steve first, since 1997), and Traci Paige Johnson and Angela Santomero at Galaxycon last month during March 16th 2024 as well. I'm still a fan of Blue's Clues to this day, my name is Brandon by the way I have Autism.
One Of My Hyperfixations Besides The Owl House, Amphibia And SuperKitties Is BLUES CLUES!! Im SO Happy That Someone Talked About Blues Room, Because It’s So Underrated!
OMG i remember watching the OG blue's clues growing up and blue's room had an insane hold on me for some time! i used to have a bunch of dvds and even dragged some of my family members to watch the baby brother special for a movie night probably multiple times lol. i think i actually saw a dvd at a dollar general once recent-ish but can't recall. great video! 💝
I remember the INSAAANNEE amount of promo surrounding blues room. I never see people talk about it so its always felt like such a fever dream. i remember watching the pilot/first episode air live. pretty sure I recorded it on tape lol. there was a loooot of online content as well on nickjr's website
I have so many fond memories of this show and owned the videos and watched them over and over. This video made realize I remember so much of these episodes than I expected!
i remember having one of the DVD things for it. it literally only had 3 episodes on it and i was scared by the Nick Jr 1999 logo back then so it eventually just went into the shelf with all my other DVDs. never to be seen again.
I know don’t have any memories of this show except how Blue looks in it. I was born in 2009 so I like to say that I got all of the 90s and 2000s era garbage. What I mean by this is I grew up with playhouse Disney reruns on Disney junior because the switch had just occurred. And I watched so many reruns of shows and grew up with lots of toys and objects and pop culture to at was basically the same or similar. Including things that at the time we’re fizzling out. I don’t even consider the 2010s to be it’s own decade because of all of the influence I got from other time periods. I also feel that the 2010s are heavily split in two between 2010-2015 and 2016-2019 but that’s besides the point. I have a dvd from when I was really young called sleepy time stories which compiles episodes about going to sleep from 2000s Nick junior shows. The shows are: Dora the Explorer, Blue’s Clues, Wonder Pets, Jack’s big music show, Yo Gabba Gabba, and Blue’s room. I most likely got this dvd because I’ve always had trouble going to sleep so it just made sense for my parents to be able to just put on a dvd that would hopefully help me sleep. I don’t think this helped me that much but when I started learning how to use a dvd remote and could watch it over and over again until I actually fell asleep it at least made the time when I was awake fun. So I don’t remember anything about the episodes except that they each were about going to sleep but I do remember that I loved watching the episodes. For me each episode had something appealed to me in some way which is why I loved watching all kinds of kids media at this time because I could always find something in a show that I liked. For example: I liked Dora because my Grandpa is Colombian and this helped me learn more Spanish, I’m blue’s clues I liked finding the clues and solving the mystery, in wonder pets it was all about animals and there was lots of singing and both of those appealed to me, in yo Gabba Gabba the sets and scenes were colorful and interesting, and with blue’s room I probably liked that it was puppets because the first movie I saw in a theatre was the 2011 muppets movie and I still love that to this day. Also the catchy songs DEFINITELY appealed to me watching this RUclips video I got hit with nostalgia just because of the songs. Like the dictionary and the song at the end. I could go on and on about child hood shows but that would take forever
i’m gonna cry 🥹 blues clues & blues room was one my favorite shows growing up. i’m so glad that someone other than me and my brother is willing to talk about this pretty obscure part of the show
When I was a kid I didn't really like Blue's Room but watching it now I love it. One of the best shows from that era of Nick Jr. It just makes you feel good when you watch it.
I love blue clues and I just realized by watching your video that I may of watched blues room or at least seen the ads of it on other nick preschool dvds that I owned or saw on tv
This video unlocked memories for real. I never forgot about this show, I was actually thinking about it not that long ago. But there were so many things I had very faint memories of (like Polka Dot's little doors, the general set design, Boogie Woogie) and I couldn’t figure out what they were from to the point I thought I had just imagined them and remembered the imagination. I especially remember the ads you showed in this video for the show from some VHS tapes I had as a kid (an older Gen Z kid lol since you mentioned that in the video). Fun to see someone talk about this show!
This show truly is timeless because I'm a late gen Z (born 2009) and I grew up with blues room and blues clues I had blues room on DVD and I watched it a lot when I was going to bed and blues clues I just watched a lot I don't know what I watched it on
puppets have always been my special interest but blues room and Sprinkles will always be special to me since that same year he arrived I got my own baby brother! I remember the activities made to hype up the episode, the little flash game of decorating a puppy to guess what he'd look like and coloring pages for it (I think the game is actually in the flash point archive) I was so excited. A bit disappointed when my baby brother wasnt also a rainbow puppy, but y'know. I think this show was the reason Joe was my favorite host, I would get irrationally angry when other kids dissed my boy lmao
My 3 year old sister is obsessed with blue’s clues (she does NOT like Josh XD) she even had a blue’s clues birthday party! But she loves it and is adorable so I make sure to get her blue’s stuff when I can such as randomly spending my money to get her a doctor blue toy, she screamed when I handed it to her! Like this kids is so cute and will even try to bark like blue so I randomly hear her go “boaw boaw baboaw booaawww!” One of her favorite dresses is blue and magenta, and she has cups with them and rainbow puppy toppers! I hope everyone enjoyed me talking about my adorable sister!!!
I'm a 22 almost 23 yo and I love so many things that millennials would be like "your too young to remember that or to like that" I love princess Bride, I love space balls, I love SpongeBob, I love older movies from the 70s 80s and 90s because my parents who are gen x took the time to introduce me to those things and I remember Steve from blues clues sorta... I have autism so it's hard to remember things from my childhood but I have this weird sense of nostalgia when I see Steve and I know I remember watching him I'm tired of people gatekeeping people's childhood memories because they want to act like they weren't born 30+ years ago
Blue's Room was, and still is, such a comfort show for me. My mother got me a hand sewn plush of the dinosaur for my 3rd birthday, and to this day he has a special spot in my room, somewhere he can always watch over me and remind me of happier times
I remember for a long time thinking blues room was something I some how made up in my very young mind. To me it was always super cool to see blues room as a kid because it only aired very rarely based on my memory so I thought it was like super awesome and cool to see it
btw at the beginning you said the show was "infamous" lol Infamy is specifically when something is well known specifically in a bad way, having a bad reputation. Blues clues is well known for being a hit among children. Steve's infamous last episode caused mayhem in preschools across the country lol
blues clues was one of my absolute favourite kids shows. i always felt like i watched it way past into when i was “supposed” to (for ref, i was born in 2000, watched episodes on vhs , and remember blues room airing and REALLY enjoying the puppety aspect/art style) i totally had forgotten about the chest , doodleboard , rory, but polka dot and Moona STAYED dormant in my mind. that is so insane hahaha. i also had a few blues stuffed animals and i didnt have the one that spoke but i had one that looked just like it . i miss it lol im sure she’s somewhere in my childhood home but i dont think i’ll go back to find it. thank you for this video :)
39:00 why do i want to CRY like i could NEVER have known at the time how much this would impact(i guess??) me because like it’s just all coming back to me this franchise is so wonderful 🥲
Does anyone remember the Blue's Puppy Maker flash game? It was a game you could play on the Nick Jr site, after it had been announced that Blue would be getting a baby brother but before Sprinkles was actually revealed. You could design your own version of her baby brother and submit it!
One thing that always got under my skin when I was a kid was how they would skip over parts of the book during the Dressup Chest segments. In hindsight, I understand they probably did this for time constraints and all that, but still.
My first heartbreak was when Steve left and was replaced by Joe in 2002. I was 5 and can attest that every child was SHOOK. You could not talk to ANY kid with cable without them complaining that Joe aint sh!t.
people keep pointing it out so to clarify blues clues is not “infamous” (i didn’t realize it meant exclusively being known for something bad) regardless it’s still pretty clear what i meant 👍
Please talk about the good night show
No, infamous being exclusively for being bad could be wrong too. Infamous could also just mean it did something controversial or exceptionally strange. Negative connotation, not negative definition.
So, you were right the first time. Comments sections are just being toxic as usual...
I was watching with bated breath worrying the show did something controversial 😂 like please, not another part of my childhood ruined

OMG i was wondering what happened to them 😭 polka dots & blue’s are on display at nick animation studios but i was curious about the rest
@@lulaloopsey😢😢😮
Now I want a reboot
One of the main catalysts for this whole production being the collective generation of kids around the world wanting to hug her is 🥺
FINALLY SOMEONE TALKS ABOUT MEET BLUE'S BABY BROTHER. That was one of my favorite dvds as a toddler!! I loved Sprinkles so much!!
Me too! I was 8 when that came out, and I enjoyed that.
Just to be clear for those who are truly a Blue’s Clues fan, this episode is not quite consider the series finale of Blue’s Clues, since the setting still takes place in Blue’s Room (even if some characters from the OG series appearing in the special). Plus the Blue’s Clues logo doesn’t appear in any way.
My favorite part of that entire episode was the GOLDEN THINKING CHAIR
As someone who watched the original Blue's Clues growing up, I rarely had the chance to watch Blue's Room. I was in 1st grade when Blue's Room premiered.
I had the Blue’s Room “Hug Day” VHS and I was in 1st grade at the time
I was born in 95, and I think it's absolutely fantastic that you got to watch one of the shows that I grew up with, and I'd personally never gatekeep someone enjoying something long after it's been off the air. If I ever have kids I'll definitely be showing them Blues Clues. If they don't like it, that's fair, but if they do I can personally attest to how much it has shaped my early years. I'm glad you got to experience it!
56:55 Give Joe an Emmy. An Oscar. ANYTHING FOR THIS EMOTIONAL PERFORMANCE.
Joe(Donovan Patton) later went on to voice Bot on Team Umizoomi, came back for the reboot Blue's Clues and You, and also is CatRat on Gabby's Dollhouse (which is made by the creators of Blue's Clues and has been or even more popular than that show).
As for Blue's Room - the problem was that Dora The Explorer was becoming Nick Jr's cash cow by the time Blue's Room debuted - pretty much ruining any chance of success - the same problem that is hurting Blues Clues & You, because of those certain pups from Canada that have basically taken over the Nick Jr. lineup.
When I read the paragraph about Steve having depression it made me almost cry. I mean now I’m crying but still. Poor Steve.
40:36 Oh my goodness!!! I can hear her!! Lol I LOVED both Blue's Room & The Sunny Side Up Show when I was little. SO much that I ended up having a dream where Blue & Sprinkles were guests on the Sunny Side Up show. It was AMAZING!!!
Blue's Room is 20 as of this year
Speaking of blues big city adventure fun fact I was in New York going to college well they were filming that and saw a tone of signs for it, the sidewalk decked out in blues big city adventure logo stuff and even a couple roads blocked off for filming. Watching that movie isn’t just a nostalgic trip for me but also a “Oh MY GOSH! I KNOW THAT LOCATION! I’VE BEEN THERE!” Moment.
Not that anyone asked I just wanted to share that.
Those Blue’s Room advertisements made me feel like a sleeper agent. Haven’t seen them in probably 15 years but they’re gonna be stuck in my head for weeks now.
I actually kept a Blue’s Room World Traveler’s Disc, which I used to watch when I was way younger. I actually still have it.
As a HUGE Blue’s Clues fan, this made my whole heart sooo happy 😃 !! Thank you so so much for this video 🩵🩵🩵🩵
As a boomer, i was around for the original host in the 90s. The series came out at a great and innocent time for children shows. Things were original and had intent of a message. Blues clues is multi-generational. Love what youre doing here! ❤
Are you a boomer? How old are you?
So I'm a little older (Born in 1991) and I remember the DAY Blue's Clues started airing. It was my favorite show. My mom had my half-brother in 2004, so I ended up being immersed in preschool/toddler media again whether I liked it or not and finding that Blue's Clues was STILL ON when my brother was born and sharing the experience with him even though I was a teenager at that point really says a lot about what Blue, Steve, and the gang did for generations of kids.
Those puppies definitely look huggable! I kinda need a plushie now. And I love you telling off the haters, people need to calm down in the comments sometimes lol
When I was 3-4ish I had a bunch of Max and Ruby and Backyardigans DVD'S I'll watch and I would rarely have a working remote for the DVD player (mostly I either lost it or had no batteries for it) and because of that I actually memorized the ads before the select screen and that's how I was able to know what DVD I was watching and I remember both seeing both of those Blues Room ads so that was already nostalgia for me
when ever I see a blue's clues video, I cry so thank you.
Blue's Room was one of my favorite shows when I was a kid. To me, see Blue talk was something I'd really loved to see, and my wish came true, and the puppets looked really well made as well!! 💙💙
As someone who grew up in a period of time where you were frowned upon for liking Blue's Room, it makes me so happy to see this video. Blue's Room is such a good show and the way they handled the whole idea of Blue being able to talk was genius. I wish we had more behind the scenes info regarding this show cause I find it to be such a fascinating piece in Blue's Clues' history. If you haven't already, I'd highly recommend checking out some of the shorts they made, not the ones on the Blue's Clues TV show, the ones made for the Nick Jr block and Noggin. You can find them on a few DVDs, I think most of which have been uploaded to the Internet Archive.
Thank you so much for what you do, and keep up the great work. It's honestly really cool seeing how far you have come. 💙
I’m really happy to see someone talk about blue’s room. I still own some of the DVDs. I did not expect this to be an hour long. I like it.
Oh i LOVED Blues room the episode when she got the key and we found out she was the moon puppy or something was my favv
32:55 I also had an animal fixation when I was little, but for me it was penguins. I used to have a whole collection of penguin plushies and I had March of the Penguins on VHS. The first Happy Feet movie was released when I was 5, and a family friend bought me a stuffed Mumble toy, which I still have to this day.
Omg yass I remember blue's room! The puppets were so adorable.
this show was before my time (i was born in 2009) but i still had it on dvd and i would watch it like every day when i was little. i vaguely remember my favorite episode being that jungle one idk how to describe it it's been like 10+ years since i even thought of it.
MY ENTIRE CHILDHOOD1!! i had the cd rom game growing up and I made little masks and did the printble activitys and MATEEEEE it was better imo.. 4 year old me would be so happy
Blue’s Room is so nostalgic to watch. I remember I had several DVDs of blue’s room episodes and I watched them over and over when I was 6 years old.
That’s my comment on Angela’s post!!
OMG thank you for your service 🙏
@@lulaloopsey You’re so welcome! :D
I barely remember this series, like I THINK I saw it in my young years. I was AWARE of the original Blues Clues series at the time, and still am today, but never this "spin-off" series...
Oh my gosh, this was such a nice nostalgia trip for me. I remember growing up, I had 2 VHS tapes of Blues Clues that I'd rewatch (Blue's Birthday episode, and an episode where Blue and Steve go on a treasure hunt). I think when Blues Room aired, I thought it wasn't my thing because I felt that her working with a human host was missing in Blues Room. Thank you for the video.
This show was a show I swear no one else remembered other than me and I was OBSESSED with as a kid and still am now so like oh my god I screamed I’m so excited I’ve been waiting for this day
I quite enjoyed blues room as a kid.
Same here.
To add to your point about the holiday special, I'm also Gen Z and a bit older than you are and I remember a Blue's Clues holiday video tape where either Steve or Joe took Blue around the neighbourhood and visited Blue's friends celebrating different holidays like Kwanza or Chanukah, and Christmas too obviously, so these creators have always made it a point to highlight different holidays and I think that's delightful 😊
Side note, if you pay attention there's a lot of signing in the episodes of the regular seasons too I remember Steve even having a def friend at one point
this show feels like a fever dream that only i remembered so it's nice to hear someone else acknowledge it lol. i remember i had a dvd for the show and i was obsessed with it as a kid
i dunno if this makes any sense but it _feels_ like the kind of show that had a run of several years and was pretty popular, and yet it ran for 17 episodes and was really obscure
aw this show looks so cute, it has that quaint childhood show vibe though maybe it's just my love of puppets speaking
The special connection I had to both Steve and Joe was that it's both my name and my brother's, so we had that looking up to them. It got even more special with the intro of Josh because that's also the name of my brother's best friend. For that reason, the show will always hold a special place in my heart.
I watched this show in kindergarten and enjoyed it a lot! Blue's talking voice was very sweet and mellow. Roar E was cute too and I to this day I find myself singing "get ready and set let's go Blue is talking on video" - so catchy
blue’s clues was always my favorite and seeing blue’s room again feels like a fever dream!!
Blues Clues was one of the first shows i ever watched as a kid and i loved it so much. I even had inflatable thinking chair with Blue peeping her head behind it. It truly holds a special place in my heart and i will never forget it for as long as i live. Genuinely i get teary eye whenever i think about it or rewatch the intro to it. Long live Blue 💙
Oh dude, the NOSTALGIA BOMB that I felt when you played that ad..... I always saw that exact one on an old dvd my sibling and I watched as a kid. I had been so sad that Steve left (admittedly finding out ages after watching reruns lol) that five year old me essentially boycotted the show without knowing what a boycott even was- but that ad on a different dvd gave me hope in the show again and I was able to keep watching those older episodes, one day wanting to learn about this newer series- I never thought that today would be the day I healed that part of my inner child. Thank you for this knowledge!!!!!!!
your channel itches a very specific part of my brain's hyperfixations and i love it
I was very honored to meet the 3 hosts-(mainly for Steve because I grew up watching Steve first, since 1997), and Traci Paige Johnson and Angela Santomero at Galaxycon last month during March 16th 2024 as well. I'm still a fan of Blue's Clues to this day, my name is Brandon by the way I have Autism.
One Of My Hyperfixations Besides The Owl House, Amphibia And SuperKitties Is BLUES CLUES!!
Im SO Happy That Someone Talked About Blues Room, Because It’s So Underrated!
Oh my God SUPERKITTIES Im so happy there's another adult out here obsessed with those stupid little cats
I binged super kitties, the cats and villains are so cute
@@commiemommie9802 Bitsy supremecy! Taking that to heart 😌
OMG i remember watching the OG blue's clues growing up and blue's room had an insane hold on me for some time! i used to have a bunch of dvds and even dragged some of my family members to watch the baby brother special for a movie night probably multiple times lol. i think i actually saw a dvd at a dollar general once recent-ish but can't recall. great video! 💝
when i was little i had a dvd of nick jr bedtime episodes and the blues room one was my favorite. i loved sprinkles he looked so cute and cuddly
I grew up with Steve too! I didn't know that he leaves in 2002
I remember the segment of it Blue's Clues, I mean, talk about pure nostalgia.
I remember the INSAAANNEE amount of promo surrounding blues room. I never see people talk about it so its always felt like such a fever dream. i remember watching the pilot/first episode air live. pretty sure I recorded it on tape lol. there was a loooot of online content as well on nickjr's website
I have so many fond memories of this show and owned the videos and watched them over and over. This video made realize I remember so much of these episodes than I expected!
I thought this was just a fever dream I had! Thanks for unlocking another memory of mine Lula!
I loveeee the hour long+ videos! Thank you!
i remember having one of the DVD things for it. it literally only had 3 episodes on it and i was scared by the Nick Jr 1999 logo back then so it eventually just went into the shelf with all my other DVDs. never to be seen again.
I know don’t have any memories of this show except how Blue looks in it. I was born in 2009 so I like to say that I got all of the 90s and 2000s era garbage. What I mean by this is I grew up with playhouse Disney reruns on Disney junior because the switch had just occurred. And I watched so many reruns of shows and grew up with lots of toys and objects and pop culture to at was basically the same or similar. Including things that at the time we’re fizzling out. I don’t even consider the 2010s to be it’s own decade because of all of the influence I got from other time periods. I also feel that the 2010s are heavily split in two between 2010-2015 and 2016-2019 but that’s besides the point. I have a dvd from when I was really young called sleepy time stories which compiles episodes about going to sleep from 2000s Nick junior shows. The shows are: Dora the Explorer, Blue’s Clues, Wonder Pets, Jack’s big music show, Yo Gabba Gabba, and Blue’s room. I most likely got this dvd because I’ve always had trouble going to sleep so it just made sense for my parents to be able to just put on a dvd that would hopefully help me sleep. I don’t think this helped me that much but when I started learning how to use a dvd remote and could watch it over and over again until I actually fell asleep it at least made the time when I was awake fun. So I don’t remember anything about the episodes except that they each were about going to sleep but I do remember that I loved watching the episodes. For me each episode had something appealed to me in some way which is why I loved watching all kinds of kids media at this time because I could always find something in a show that I liked. For example: I liked Dora because my Grandpa is Colombian and this helped me learn more Spanish, I’m blue’s clues I liked finding the clues and solving the mystery, in wonder pets it was all about animals and there was lots of singing and both of those appealed to me, in yo Gabba Gabba the sets and scenes were colorful and interesting, and with blue’s room I probably liked that it was puppets because the first movie I saw in a theatre was the 2011 muppets movie and I still love that to this day. Also the catchy songs DEFINITELY appealed to me watching this RUclips video I got hit with nostalgia just because of the songs. Like the dictionary and the song at the end. I could go on and on about child hood shows but that would take forever
The advertising for this show would've been so confusing for the kids who never saw Blue's Clues lol
*"BLUE CAN TALK!!!!!"*
Yep 😂😂
Now I’m imagining a “Who’s on first?” situation with one kid who has seen the show explaining what’s going on to another kid who hasn’t seen it.
I’m also Gen Z and grew up on VHS and DVDs of blues clues and other nick jr shows. And that commercial sent me back to my childhood days 😭
i’m gonna cry 🥹 blues clues & blues room was one my favorite shows growing up. i’m so glad that someone other than me and my brother is willing to talk about this pretty obscure part of the show
Your video reminded me of the Blue’s Room pc game I used to play a lot when I was younger. So thanks for giving me a reason to play it again
When I was a kid I didn't really like Blue's Room but watching it now I love it. One of the best shows from that era of Nick Jr. It just makes you feel good when you watch it.
I love blue clues and I just realized by watching your video that I may of watched blues room or at least seen the ads of it on other nick preschool dvds that I owned or saw on tv
This video unlocked memories for real. I never forgot about this show, I was actually thinking about it not that long ago. But there were so many things I had very faint memories of (like Polka Dot's little doors, the general set design, Boogie Woogie) and I couldn’t figure out what they were from to the point I thought I had just imagined them and remembered the imagination. I especially remember the ads you showed in this video for the show from some VHS tapes I had as a kid (an older Gen Z kid lol since you mentioned that in the video). Fun to see someone talk about this show!
This show truly is timeless because I'm a late gen Z (born 2009) and I grew up with blues room and blues clues I had blues room on DVD and I watched it a lot when I was going to bed and blues clues I just watched a lot I don't know what I watched it on
yeah same. born in 2010 but had a metric ton of blues clues/room dvds.
My grandparents had a Blues Room DVD, I still remember watching it with my younger sisters
puppets have always been my special interest but blues room and Sprinkles will always be special to me since that same year he arrived I got my own baby brother! I remember the activities made to hype up the episode, the little flash game of decorating a puppy to guess what he'd look like and coloring pages for it (I think the game is actually in the flash point archive) I was so excited. A bit disappointed when my baby brother wasnt also a rainbow puppy, but y'know. I think this show was the reason Joe was my favorite host, I would get irrationally angry when other kids dissed my boy lmao
My 3 year old sister is obsessed with blue’s clues (she does NOT like Josh XD) she even had a blue’s clues birthday party! But she loves it and is adorable so I make sure to get her blue’s stuff when I can such as randomly spending my money to get her a doctor blue toy, she screamed when I handed it to her! Like this kids is so cute and will even try to bark like blue so I randomly hear her go “boaw boaw baboaw booaawww!” One of her favorite dresses is blue and magenta, and she has cups with them and rainbow puppy toppers!
I hope everyone enjoyed me talking about my adorable sister!!!
Why did Joe discover Blue's Room but not Steve? Was Steve keeping that room a secret from us?
Nah we just had to wait for the blue moon to come.
he was still in college.
I'm a 22 almost 23 yo and I love so many things that millennials would be like "your too young to remember that or to like that" I love princess Bride, I love space balls, I love SpongeBob, I love older movies from the 70s 80s and 90s because my parents who are gen x took the time to introduce me to those things and I remember Steve from blues clues sorta... I have autism so it's hard to remember things from my childhood but I have this weird sense of nostalgia when I see Steve and I know I remember watching him I'm tired of people gatekeeping people's childhood memories because they want to act like they weren't born 30+ years ago
Blue's Room was, and still is, such a comfort show for me. My mother got me a hand sewn plush of the dinosaur for my 3rd birthday, and to this day he has a special spot in my room, somewhere he can always watch over me and remind me of happier times
I remember for a long time thinking blues room was something I some how made up in my very young mind. To me it was always super cool to see blues room as a kid because it only aired very rarely based on my memory so I thought it was like super awesome and cool to see it
Blues Clues holds a special place in my heart for many years with other nick jr show for the past decade
btw at the beginning you said the show was "infamous" lol Infamy is specifically when something is well known specifically in a bad way, having a bad reputation. Blues clues is well known for being a hit among children. Steve's infamous last episode caused mayhem in preschools across the country lol
oh my god thank you for pointing that out 😭 i didn’t realize infamous was specifically being known in a bad light
blues clues was one of my absolute favourite kids shows. i always felt like i watched it way past into when i was “supposed” to (for ref, i was born in 2000, watched episodes on vhs , and remember blues room airing and REALLY enjoying the puppety aspect/art style) i totally had forgotten about the chest , doodleboard , rory, but polka dot and Moona STAYED dormant in my mind. that is so insane hahaha. i also had a few blues stuffed animals and i didnt have the one that spoke but i had one that looked just like it . i miss it lol im sure she’s somewhere in my childhood home but i dont think i’ll go back to find it. thank you for this video :)
22:53-22:54 Oh, an ad came up at that moment, and I thought you were about to say “Scrumdiddlyumptious.”
i loved blues room and blues clues so much as a baby 😢
39:00 why do i want to CRY like i could NEVER have known at the time how much this would impact(i guess??) me because like it’s just all coming back to me this franchise is so wonderful 🥲
blue is so adorable with her sweet little voice omfg im cry
RUAHH, YOU DON'T WANNA KNOW HOW EXCITED I AM TO SEE THIS VIDEO 💜💜 I LOVE BLUES ROOM
Commenting but coming back to watch because I KNOW THIS IS ABOUT TO BE REALLY GOOD
I wasn’t even a child in the early 2000’s but blues clues and especially blues room was my childhood (preschool)
I Loved watching Blue’s Clues and Blue’s Room growing up, I especially Love Joe, Blue and Sprinkles!😂🤣❤️📺🎶👍🏻
Does anyone remember the Blue's Puppy Maker flash game? It was a game you could play on the Nick Jr site, after it had been announced that Blue would be getting a baby brother but before Sprinkles was actually revealed. You could design your own version of her baby brother and submit it!
One thing that always got under my skin when I was a kid was how they would skip over parts of the book during the Dressup Chest segments. In hindsight, I understand they probably did this for time constraints and all that, but still.
8:00 AND HOW THEY COULD HUG HER THIS IS GONNA MKE ME CRY THATS SO CUTE
I still really want this whole Blue’s Room world back. I miss it so so much, it’s upsetting that Nickelodeon is burying it
My first heartbreak was when Steve left and was replaced by Joe in 2002. I was 5 and can attest that every child was SHOOK. You could not talk to ANY kid with cable without them complaining that Joe aint sh!t.
