Blue's Clues is... well if you're at all familiar with Nickelodeon, you probably already know what Blue's Clues is. But if you somehow don't, it was a Nick Jr. show that ran from 1996 to 2006, with the reboot Blue's Clues & You! later starting in 2019. Steve Burns (green striped shirt) was the show's original host from 1995 (counting production of the unaired pilot) until he left in 2002, and from then on the show was hosted by Donovan Patton as Joe (different colored square shirts). In the average episode, Blue and the host are doing some kind of activity that relates to the overall theme of the episode, and then Blue leaves three clues marked by pawprints for the host and the viewer to figure out what she wants to do next.
This show has always been a huge personal childhood favorite of mine and one of my earliest hyperfixations. Never gets old. Steve was my inital favorite as a child, but Joe has really grown on me in recent years. The new guy Josh is fine, but as you can see by these gifs I will always prefer the OG run.
