Blue's Clues (1996–2007)
5/10
Mixed feelings about this show.
8 February 2009
OK, I'm not trying to sound like a guy who plays Xbox, and I understand that it's a kids show, but this show was very disturbing. First of all, both Steve and Joe (Steve was in the older seasons, while Joe was in the newer seasons) act like idiots for their age; they always require help from the kids watching to find blue paw prints that should be easy to find. Also, a lot of the voice acting sounds really bland, and could probably make your children drool in bore. Also, I understand this is pretty common in most kids shows, and it's not too huge of a problem, but this show was REALLY random. One minute, they're talking to salt and pepper shakers, the next they're talking to a bug-eyed bear, the next, they're talking to a pail and a shovel; now THAT's random! Finally, Steve or Joe always like to point out the obvious; for example, in the episode about Blue's birthday, Blue gives Steve a thank-you gift, and he points out that the tag says "Steve"; as if we didn't know that already! Yeah, it's a kid's show, but I don't think the show was meant to teach kids how to spell.

But now that I got the bad stuff out of the way, let's talk about the good stuff. First of all, this show could make your children very observant, as it always has to do with them finding paw prints made by the blue dog named Blue; if not for this show, I wouldn't be the observant man that I am today. Also, despite being more random than Ren and Stimpy, or at least Rocko's Modern Life, the characters are kind and likable.... for kids, of course.

So, as you can tell, this show gave me mixed feelings. I say just flip over to Sesame Street or something.
