8 | ''Blue's Clues'' is a [[LongRunners long-running]] children's television show, produced by Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} as part of their Creator/NickJr preschool block. |

10 | Introduced in 1996, the show is notable for [[TropeCodifier pioneering]] the kid's show version of an InteractiveNarrator--one who talks "to" the camera, seemingly at the children watching. ''Blue's Clues'' was so successful, this went on to become the norm for most kid's show hosts today-- especially those directed at the "Under 6" age bracket. It also originally ran under the notion that children learn through repetition--so the same episode of the show would run for a full week. (The show later dropped this practice.) It was ''hugely'' successful, leading to several DirectToVideo movies, a live show adaptation, an eventual SpinOff called ''Series/BluesRoom'', and (of course) heaps and heaps of [[TheMerch merchandise.]] |

12 | The show was originally hosted by Steven Burns as "[[TheDanza Steve]]", but he left the show after six years. [[note]]A large number of rumors swirled about the reasons why, from death hoaxes to drug overdoses. The truth was a number of the show's original production staff had left, and he felt ready to move on. In addition he was [[PrematurelyBald losing his hair]] and was afraid of going bald on a kids show and seeming too "old" to the kids - and he has been successful in indie rock circles thanks to his connections with his friends, the Music/FlamingLips.[[/note]] His replacement was [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute "Joe"]] (Donovan Patton), his in-universe younger brother, who ran the show, and its spinoff ''Blue's Room,'' until 2007, when production came to a halt. Reruns aired on the Creator/NickJr channel until July 2019 (4 months before the reboot premiered), and [=DVDs=] still exist. Running from 1996 to 2006 (or 2007 if you count ''Blue's Room''), ''Blue's Clues'' was Nick Jr.'s longest-running series, up until ''WesternAnimation/DoraTheExplorer'' broke that record in 2010. |

14 | On March 6, 2018, it was announced that a reboot using CGI animation was in production. On September 13, 2018, the reboot was [[https://deadline.com/2018/09/nickelodeons-blues-clues-reboot-gets-new-host-new-title-1202463576/ revealed]] to be titled ''WesternAnimation/BluesCluesAndYou'', with actor Joshua Dela Cruz as the new host, "Josh". On August 26, 2019, a November 11 premiere was announced, and it was stated that the show would be a continuation of the original series. |
