Blue's Clues premiered on September 8, 1996, and ran until 2006
Blue's Clues, has been called "one of the most successful, critically acclaimed,
and ground-breaking preschool television series of all time".
The format of each episode of Blue's Clues is the same. The host, Steve or Joe, presents the audience with a puzzle
involving Blue. To help the audience unlock the puzzle, Blue leaves behind a series of clues,
which are objects marked with one of three of her blue paw prints. In between the discovery of the clues,
the host, Steve or Joe, plays a series of games mini-puzzles with the audience
that are thematically related to the overall puzzle ... As the show unfolds, Steve or Joe and Blue
move from one animated set to another, jumping through magical doorways, leading viewers on a
journey of discovery, until, at the end of the story, Steve returns to the
living room. There, at the climax of the show, he sits down in a comfortable
chair to think, of course, in the Thinking Chair. He puzzles over
Blue's three clues and attempts to come up with the answer
