On Nickelodeon
A warmly affectionate, puzzle-based educational show built on direct address and the reassurance of a predictable, solvable mystery every episode.
Blue's Clues is a colorful and learning series that is targeted at the younger crowd, but can be enjoyed by all. The host, Steve Burns, invites viewers daily into the Blue's Clues house to help him out, learn and have fun. The show is based around the host looking for three clues that Blue provides by labelling them with a pawprint to figure something out and in the process, having an adventure.
