* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Downplayed as it didn't happen for every episode, but most "special episodes" during the Steve era (usually the ones debuting in a primetime slot) followed the "Blue's Big (Episode Subject)" pattern. As did the direct-to-video movie, ''Blue's Big Musical Movie'', and the StoryArc of Cinnamon's birth was released across two videos under the ''Blue's Big News'' title. This extended to marathons airing on Nick Jr. that led up to new episodes, which would be titled "Blue's Big (Day of the Week)".

* SuddenlySpeaking: Blue in the ''Blue's Room'' spin-off series. Additionally, in the book releases, Blue was speaking before ''Blue's Room'' even started. Seriously, pick up any of the more recent numbered ''Blue's Clues'' book releases not set within the world of ''Blue's Room'' and you'll find that Blue actually talks out loud to Joe, Green Puppy, Magenta and everyone else. This was true even in some of the Steve books.

This was true even in some of the Steve books. Justified in the books as since readers couldn't hear Blue's (or the other dog characters) barking, and it was an easier way to show what they were saying in the medium (especially for instances where the dog characters would be talking to each other).

** Beginning with the fourth season, the original intro sequence adds Magenta and Periwinkle, as well as their houses next to each side of Blue's house. Shovel and Pail also say "Hi, Blue!" as Blue comes into the house instead of silently appearing next to the house.
