** Somehow I doubt that the Blue's Clues target age is reading TVTropes. Those kids' ''parents'', however, do. Compared to some Rule 34 artwork for kids shows out there on the internet, this WMG is rather tame.

[[WMG: Blue's Clues is a series of story books that Steve reads to a preschool class]]
The [[StorybookOpening opening shot]] of each episode pretty much tells you straight forward that it is a story book, this coupled with the colorful design of the world and the talking utensils that inhabit it. Steve assists at a preschool and frequently reads those books to the children, placing himself in the story and encouraging the kids to interact along the way. Since he wants the kids to play along, he acts oblivious to the location of these clues, begging the kids to help him out. Of course, Steve eventually goes off to college and his brother, Joe, takes his place.

All of the talking animals and objects are imaginary friends. Steve is Mac all grown up. He ran away from home and created a home of his own because his mom would not let him have imaginary friends in the house. He changed his name to Steve so that it would be hard for his mom to fing him. Bloo became too dickish, so Mac abandoned him, and then Bloo got adopted. Nevertheless, he still created another main blue imaginary friend: the nicer and female dog Blue. He did not give her the ability to speak because he was worried that it would make her as annoying as Bloo. Luckily, that ended up not being the case in BluesRoom. When Steve/Mac goes to college, his brother, who is actually Terrance under the new nickname Joe, takes over, having become a nicer person since the events of ''Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends.''

[[WMG: The show is an attempt to warn us about de-evolution]]
Steve and Joe and their international counterparts on some of the foreign versions are Time Lords who narrowly avoided death in the Kent State shootings of May 4, 1970. Each episode is a crazy, autistic child's mind's attempt to warn the world about de-evolution, and they need the viewer's help to prevent de-evolution throughout the multiverse.
* Three of the Ohio National Guard officers who fired bullets in the shootings take the form of Blue's pawprints (or Joe's handprints in that one episode) in the Blue's Clues universe. Steve/Joe/Duarte/Kevin/whoever is trying to take out his revenge on them by defeating them with his notebook, which is actually a weapon of mass-destruction to prevent them from killing anybody again.

[[WMG: Steve is a Time Lord and his Handy Dandy Notebook is his TARDIS]]
He regenerated from Oderus Urungus of Gwar, and ended up becoming a nicer person.

[[WMG: Blue CAN talk- she just doesn't want to so she has a reason to play Blue's Clues. Alternately, it's not that she chooses not to talk, it's that she cannot be understood due to a speech impediment.]]
I mean it's repeatedly stated to be her favourite game so she might just pretend she can't talk so she has an excuse to play it. On the other paw, it's also worth noting that she's a puppy, so she may not have learned how to talk ''coherently''- some kids have such bad speech impediments that adults just can't understand them (being unable to say "Th", "L", "R", "C/K", "Sh", certain vowels/certain vowels after certain consonants, being unable to enunciate, etc), and Blue herself can speak, some of her barks ARE clearly words, but just indistinct.

[[WMG: Steve actually does see the clues, and is ObfuscatingStupidity.]]
Since he's playing a game with a small child/small children (the audience), he pretends not to see the clues so that his friend doesn't feel useless. This is basically the Doylist explanation, but it also makes sense in universe (as that's usually how adults interact with children).

Steve is relatively weak reality warper who can bring certain 2-Dimensional images into the real world and vice versa. When he was young, he simply drew a picture of a house and skidooed into it.

[[WMG:Steve (and Joe) suffer from severe mental disorders]]
Steve (and Joe) suffer from severe mental disorders, and the world of Blues Clues is how they experience the real world. In reality, Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper are an interracial couple who care from them, and since Steve and Joe are harmless they let their children play with them (though they keep an eye on them just in case). Blue is a service pet they only imagine can do all the things she can, and the rest of the cast are items they anthropomorphize mentally. And when they "skiddo" they are merely imagining they're entering the book/picture/sand castle/etc.

She can create semi-sentient, shape-shifting, size-changing two-dimensional entities that execute her will (usually delivering messages to Steve, but they could be repurposed for, say, suffocation). They can also be applied to almost anything, including bubbles, [[MediumAwareness your TV screen]], and even in one episode [[UpToEleven sound waves]]! She can also skidoo into anything two-dimensional, which, if used correctly, has a lot of applications as well. In short, Blue could make an excellent super villain on the level of some of the Batman villains.

* Alternatively, the main characters we see here are the ''children'' of the main characters of Foster's. Steve and Joe are Mac's sons, and Blue is Bloo's daughter (her full name is Bluella P. Kazoo). I'm not sure if imaginary friends can reproduce normally but if they can't, perhaps Steve created her.

[[WMG: Blue was originally human.]]
She was once a vain and selfish princess who lived in a castle with her servants. Until one day, a poor beggar came to the castle seeking hospitality. Blue insulted his ugliness and turned him out. But it turns out the beggar was really a wizard, and he cursed Blue to become a puppy, her servants to become talking inanimate objects and the castle to become an ordinary house. Now the only way to break the curse is for Blue to learn to love and be loved in return. And that's where Steve comes in...

[[WMG:Skiddoing is an extreme application of the fact that Blues Clues has no 4th wall]]
Ever notice that whenever they skiddooed into something, it was always parallel to the camera and 4:3? That's because they new that they were on a blue screen and could scale up the background so it would fill the screen.
