Blue's Clues - "What is Blue Trying to Do?"

Okay, let's review another Season 2 episode of Blue's Clues that aired around early 1999. This one's called, "What is Blue Trying to Do?"

The story is that Steve is trying to put together a puzzle that looks like the actual house they live in, but that's not the important part, the important part here is that Blue is trying to do something with her picture of she and Steve, and we play Blue's Clues to figure out what she's doing. Along the way, we help Slippery Soap make very big bubbles with a lot of encouragement, as well as clean-up Baby Bear's room to find her picture of a castle.

In the end, the answer to all of this is that Blue was writing her name.

What I admire about this episode was that it was the first episode to use the stock audio opening from "Blue's Birthday," as a permanent piece of the show, also, this was the very last episode to use the original "Pawprint!" and "Clue" cheers from the audience, it had been used since Magenta Comes Over! Also, much like "What Does Blue Want to Do on a Rainy Day?" The hair stylists really made Steve's hair look quite similar to his early season 2 look, in fact, in the shot where Steve gets the notebook, his hair was noticeably longer unlike the other shots in the episodes. If I didn't know better, I might think that part was taped much earlier in the season.

The moral of the story is that you should take encouragement and have some perseverance and never give up. Sorry, no Rick Astley references here, I refuse to do that. Also, one of the Sesame Street researchers also served as the content consultant for this episode, that person of course being Valeria Lovelace.

Also, I like how Mailbox was very excited to give Steve the letter before quickly calming down after Steve gets the letter and doing his usual, "You're welcome!"

Next time I review a Blue's Clues episode, I'll be reviewing "Animal Behavior," and "Pretend Time."

One more thing, don't say "CAN'T! CAN'T!" CAN'T!" Say "CAN! CAN! CAN!"
