My older brother has autism and is OBSESSED with Blue's Clues. I watch it with him a lot. I really appreciate Strider's more intellectual take on a show that is stereotyped as only for preschool age kids. It's quite refreshing.

To be honest. I have to actually thank this show for helping me pass one of my classes in High School. I had to take one last science class for my final science credit. The only thing left was astronomy. And it was very vast and the one thing you had to know the pass is the planets and exactly their position and location from the sun. The numbers were easy to learn. But the planets were confusing because on some tests we included their scientific names. I made notes but it didnt help. That is until a certain ear worm from my child hood broke out and became a butterfly. At the time of my final SOL. The planets were the final part of the grade. I got stumped. Than that little song came back and I passed with a grand B. Keeping my grade point to the way I needed it to be. So yes a song from Blue's Clues helped me past High school.

I mean, Blue’s Sad Day is kinda relatable to middle schoolers. Someone bullies you, you tell them to stop, and they sarcastically say yes, but then they keeping bullying you even if you say stop to them a million times.

The science episode is the only reason I know the order of the planets so well. This show was awesome

This is the most amount of screen time ever given to your channel mascot. The Boo, that is.

Boo was sad that he didn’t get Boo’s Clues...WE NEED BOO’S CLUES

Im a bit old for blues clues but regardless I enjoyed it a lot as a child

Did you know Strider is actually Steve? He regrets leaving the show to go to "collage" so he is reliving his memories of working on this show.

This show taught me so many things as a little kid. Like, how to make a pizza, how to mix colours together, how to care for a pet, how it's ok to be different, and so much more. Even as an adult, I will always hold this show close to my heart.

The main thing I always took from Blue’s Clues is that it’s okay to ask questions and that asking for help is necessary sometimes. You can’t do everything on your own, and when you even attempt to do so, things can and inevitably will turn into a gigantic mess. Moreover than that, though, I also took from it that it’s okay to be yourself. So long as you’re not hurting anyone, what you like is what you like, who you are is who you are, and that is 100% a-okay. I have loved this show as a child, and I hope the reboot does it justice.

We just got a top list! We just got a top list! We just got a top list! I wonder who its from!

Howdy! Special thanks to my assistant writer Helen who greatly helped write this episode :) I hope you have a pleasant and cheerful new year's eve. And please be kind to yourself this holiday season. I'll aim to stay here through 2019 and keep doing what I love.

We just Got A Notification! We just Got A Notification! We just Got A Notification! I Wonder Who It's From.

I found it funny how Boo had no trouble making a paper hat, yet you COULDN'T!😂😂😂 Signed, your fellow friendly Aspie!

And also I personally think that the best episode is the one where Mr.Salt and Mrs.Pepper show video tapes of when Steve first played Blues clues. It's one of those episodes that's very heart warming. It was a really good Christmas episode.

I love how evil you made the green puppy seem

I can recite The Planet Song by heart. ♪ Well, the Sun's a hot star, and Mercury's hot, too, Venus is the brightest planet, and Earth's home to me and you! Mars is the red one, and Jupiter's most wide, Saturn's got those icy rings, and Uranus spins on its side! Neptune's really windy, and Pluto's really small, Well, we wanted to name the planets, and now we've named them all. ♪

The worst part is they didn't even bother to fix the ending of "Blue's Sad Day" on the remake, she tells (Magenta this time) how she feels, but the other character in question still gets away with the damage they've done just like with Green Puppy, I was furious, this is one thing they could have improved on. They did fix most of the boring parts from Magenta Gets Glasses tho, no awkward Miranda this time so there's that lol

*Fun Fact:* The new reboot of Blues Clues was now hosted by a Filipino-American named Josh Dela Cruz. I hope this is better be good.

Ah, my childhood, I remember me and my sister drawing blue paw prints and hiding them around the house when we were very young One of the best kids shows in my opinion

The green puppy must be an anime villain

The holiday special is where I learned that Christmas isn't the only December holiday

I loved the legend of the blue puppy when i was little. I think that’s when they started the weird live action puppet stuff, but i loved it as a kid

My childhood, right here. :3

Blue's sad day isn't bad, it's misunderstood. The green dog just like taking the construction apart as much as putting it together...

This was one of my favorite shows when I was younger. I STILL have the musical on DVD. Even now, at 18, I still respect this show so much.

You actually tried out for blue’s clues? THAT IS AWESOME!

I always loved this show to death and even though I’m older it’s always good to look back at this wholesome show. Thanks strider for the trip back in time ☺️.

Fun Fact: Green Puppy is a girl, while Magenta is a boy. According to the makers, anyway.

My favorite episode from my childhood is "What's That Sound?" Blue hears a thunderstorm coming and at the end of the episode there's the sound of rain and thunder as they're sitting out on the patio. The 'now it's time for so long' has no music, just the sound of nature. That was so calming to me and honestly is probably the reason why I love thunderstorms so much now as an adult.

It's 3 in the night and I'm watching a grown man talk about his favourite blues clues episodes what the actual hell am I doing with my life

Do the top 10 best/worst Joe episodes of Blue's Clues.

Blue’s Big Holiday is my personal favorite episode. We would watch it around Christmastime and I was always excited to see Blue’s neighbors and friends celebrating their unique holidays. It made me aware that there was much more than just Christmas celebrated around that time of year and to start celebrating differences. Great video as always Strider and have a happy holiday!

Blue's Sad Day is a critical episode in the series because, when Steve and Blue skidoo into a picture of Blue's Preschool, there is an orange kitten and a blue kitten. Those two are important because Blue's Clues was originally going to have an orange kitten as the face of the show called "Mr. Orange". They scrapped that and went with a blue kitten and was going to call the show "Blue's Prints". After the first two ideas were scratched, it ultimately became a blue puppy as the face of the series and the show would be called "Blue's Clues".

There should be a horror movie about the green puppy! XD

Anyone else think Strider would be a great Blue's Clues host?

4:24-4:25 Actually, Miranda (Magenta's owner) debuted in the episode "Shy". Her final appearance was in "Magenta Gets Glasses". Just to clear that up.

Also in "What Does Blue Want To Make", when Steve says "We just got a letter" if you look up you'll see a boom mic.

Merry Christmas Josh! This was my favorite show when I was little!

Just want to sing something real quick... The Sun's the hot star, and Mercury's hot too, Venus is the brightest planet, and Earth's home to me and you! Mars is the red one and Jupiter's most wide! Saturn's got those icy rings and Uranus spins on it's side. Neptune's really windy and Pluto's real small...if you wanted to to name the planets, and now we've named them all! Seriously I haven't watched that episode in over 20 years and I still have that song in my head lol. And I didn't look it up either if you're curious. Man Blues Clues as a shining light as part of Nick Jr. back then..

I feel like Steve was the Mr. Rogers of the 2000's. Sure, as you've pointed out, strider, there are some lesser episodes, but the ones that exceed expectations go so far beyond the call to action it's honestly astounding and eye-opening to watch stuff like Blue's Big Holiday and Blue Gets Frustrated, and feel like it's not *just* a kids show. Sure, the target audience is young kids, but that doesn't mean it's the *only* audience. One of my particular favorites is an episode in, I believe season 5, maybe, where Joe teaches about how expressive and powerful Body Language can be while on the hunt for Blue's Clues.

i'm glad i'm not the only one thinking about Mindful education when you started talking about Blue gets frustrated.

I think the word "worst" is too strong for the show so let's go with "top 3 boring & best blues clues episode"

Funny you make this just as I started rewatching blues clues for the first time since childhood. Scary even, are you reading my thoughts Strider???

He's back, his episode is new and now, He's reviewing something with Boo! Well done, My dude and Merry Smissmas! P.S. Green Puppy has to be the next Summer Blockbuster XD

That Miranda thing is a perfect example of throwing a practical person into a non practical atmosphere. Watched that episode when I was a little kid and it was too Cringey, had to skip.

That episode, Blue Gets Frustrated, has gotten me through some tough times in the 1990s and 2000s

Definitely a show I remember fondly. Can you do an episode from the best and worst Thomas and Friends episodes?

steve should never be a cop. he can't find anything XD

I remember watching some of these episodes when I was little, this made me remember some of the older shows like Little Bear, Max and Ruby, Oswald, Toot and Puddle, Olivia, etc...

Back when I was little, I loved Blue’s Clues, I liked Blue and Mangenta

Remember when Uuuuuuuuuuh *_"Thanks again for all your help"_* *Cries*

What if Steve Burns and Donovan Patton were actually cousins 🤔

Blue's Clues was a huge part of my childhood, so I'm pleased that you made this list. I still remember the planet song by heart!

My childhood show! I love that there are people still talking about it and still appreciate it.

This was my childhood and I'm so glad someone talked about it. I can do Blue impressions but hey it's not hard to do. Also; Strider you do remind me of Steve. It's funny to me. I think you doing Blue's Clues would be the funniest thing.

What I liked about some of the Joe episodes was how there were good callbacks to several Steve episodes in terms of similar concepts being taught, but differently without any of them feeling like ripoffs. That being said, I was not a huge fan of the whole "talking clues" they did halfway through season 5 onwards, while I did not outright hate it, I just found it to be a little too... off-putting. But, then again, I did enjoy Blue's Room segments, where Blue was able to talk and interact with us, which is really nice to see, showing just how important Blue is to the show.

I have 2 things to say about "Magenta Gets Glasses": 1: For some reason,they remade this episode for the reboot, "Blue's Clues and You". 2:As someone who got their glasses from their sibling (don't worry,we have the same prescription),I've never been to the optometrist,but I'm sure it isn't THAT bad. And even if it is,it's kinda awkward to include that detail in a Blue's Clues episode... Anyway,I hope you enjoyed this comment. Have a nice day everyone! BDShine,signing out!

My absolute favorite episode was "What's That Sound?" It's chock full of classic moments. The way Steve says, "gopher giggles." The storm at the end. The black and white movie. But my all-time favorite Blue's Clues moment was when Steve was walking in silence back to his house and. He pantomimed his reactions to things he passed, including getting a clue. This relied on the audience's familiarity with his routine. Then he sees a pawprint on a cloud, goes to draw the clue, and breaks the silence with a flabberghasted, "How did Blue get a pawp- pshhh!" wondering how the print got up there. It was pure brilliance. Then, good lord, Mailbox sharing his favorite sounds. BLAAAAANGH! They were on fire making this episode.

The scene where Steve goes to College was pretty sad

I Love Blue's Clues It's was my childhood. My favorite episode is the one when they're going to school, this episode tought me how to mix colors. And one time I was Blue for Halloween also Merry Christmas Josh😊😊😊

Best early Christmas present.

God do I love Blues Clues! I always used to sing along to the "Mail Time" song with Steven. Those were some good times. :'-)

Oh man I had so many fond memories with this show as a kid! I loved learning new things with Steve, Joe, and Blue. I’m really happy that the show is getting revived for a new generation of kids! 😊💙

I loved Blue Clues when I was growing up, I never thought that there would have been a bad episode. I'm shocked!

There exists a video on my family’s computer of me as a three year old singing blue’s birthday song, and I still watch it

when steve said "come on in, make yourself at home!" I felt like I had a friend.

Strider not being new Steve Me: *_THIS SIN IS UNFORGIVABLE_*

blue's clues was my childhood. i will never forget steve, and apparently i used to watch joe too, but i don't remember him.....

To be fair, I really liked Joe. Many people won't agree with me, but we all have different opinions. Steve was the original and everyone prefers the original over anything new.

The one I remember fondly is the musical episode with Ray Charles as the singing treble clef. That song's still an earworm...

It's refreshing to see such a wholesome good show for kids!😌

I never thought I'd ever see a list on Blue's Clues of all shows-

Wow, Boo actually had SOMETHING to do this episode.

I'm glad that I found a cool guy that still enjoys Blue's Clues as an adult as I do, seriously 👍🏻

Awesome video Strider. Merry Christmas and all the best for 2019

We are gonna play Blue's Clues 'cause that's a really great game! YEAH!

Blues Clues and You remade Blue’s Sad Day and I will say it’s a major improvement over the original version. Instead of Green Puppy, it’s Magenta who kept knocking over the blocks. Magenta wasn’t being a bully in the new version. In the new version, she gets a little over excited by Blue’s tower and knocks it down. Also instead of pushing it over just to annoy Blue, she runs into it due to excitement. She wasn’t trying to upset Blue like Green Puppy did. There’s no scene of false forgiveness to toy with Blue’s emotions. Magenta comes over to play and she ends up upsetting Blue again without being aware she’s hurting Blue’s feelings. Blue eventually tells her no and to stop it. Magenta actually feels bad and Blue offers to share her blocks instead of being manipulated into it like the original. It was so much better in my opinion. Green Puppy didn’t show any remorse for messing with Blue and doesn’t even say sorry! Blues Clues and You at least made the episode better. I suggest checking it out.

I'm gonna name the episodes I've seen on my VHS's I used to have in order. "Snack Time" s1e01 "Blue Wants to Play a Song Game" s1e14 "What Experiment Does Blue Want to Try?" s2e04 (Mentioned!) "What Does Blue Want to Make Out of Recycled Things?" s2e05 "Blue's ABCs" s2e07 "Math!" s2e08 "Blue's Birthday" s2e09 (Mentioned!) "What Does Blue Want to Do on a Rainy Day?" s2e11 "What Did Blue See?" s2e16 "Nurture!" s2e17 "What's That Sound?" s3e04 "Animal Behavior" s3e05 "Signs" s3e12 "Geography" s3e14 "Blue's Big Musical Movie" s3e18 "Cafe Blue" s3e27

My mum's favourite Blue's Clues episode is The Lost Episode. When she was made to watch this show with me when I was 5, she was amazed to find that this preschool show was teaching her a solution to finding lost things, something that stresses her out a lot

I remember the day that foul puppy demolished my parents' block towers, and my block towers... I will never forgive him for what he did to my family!

We are gonna play blues clues cause that’s a really great game yeah. 🐶🧑🏻💙

You’re never too old for Blue’s Clues. I’m 24 but I don’t care. I’ll be checking out the Blue’s Clues reboot. I hope that Josh dude doesn’t become another Joe.

I ain't gonna lie, the part where Steve broke his crayon, and he was getting frustrated, I laughed hysterically as a kid.

I adored this show when I was a kid, and I was ecstatic when I heard there was going to be a reboot! I’m glad that there are people still out there who love this show as much as I did and do! ^^

I feel like the problem with Miranda is she needed more appearances. Sometimes new characters can feel unsteady in their debut appearances but later they get developed. I personally don't judge characters who have very few appearances unless they are there just for merchandise.

Blues clues was one of my favorite tv shows when I was a kid 😭

Steve didn’t write that birthday song, before the actual episode starts there’s an alternative opening science where kids are watching steve try to figure out a birthday dance but he’s struggling. So Steve skidoo’s to the kids house and they teach him the birthday candle dance. So again, Steve didn’t actually write that song.

My childhood cried when I saw the notification of this video.

Blue gets frustrated was an episode I quote "stop, Deep breath in... Exhale

i agree with your choices, but i also think the episode where steve leaves is also an important lesson about saying goodbye. a lesson to kids that people in their lives will leave the things they love behind eventually and it can be hard for them

Strider: Boo, what’s yout favourite color? Boo: *glows white and makes a sound* Strider: Oh, green! Mine is orange. Me: *gReEn Is nOT a CrEaTivE cOloR*

I freakin' love Blues Clues, it's my favorite Nick Jr. cartoon (but only when Steve was in the program, I lost interest when Joe came)

My all time favorite kids show that I still watch on occasion!

Now that I’ve seen your #1 pick of all the Blue’s Clues episodes I’m thinking to myself “AHHH, where was this when I was a college student taking that really, really, really, frustratingly hard class that mentally tried and seceded in killing me. I mentally died literally every morning wishing I could quite that no-god monstrosity of a class.

The part where you discuss Blue Gets Frustrated and the importance of mindfulness really inspired me. As someone who struggles with anxiety and a somewhat short temper (I don’t get angry often tho, but the feeling lingers in my brain often), as well as fear of being bullying, confronted or having to confront someone, I’ll definitely take deep breaths more often, not just to calm my brain and heart, but so I can solve my problems civilly too. In fact, when I make my own adult cartoon in the future, I’m definitely gonna have it discuss mindfulness among other topics. More power to you, Josh! God bless. ❤️
