Blue's Clues is an American animated television series for young children. The show is on Nick Jr. from September 8, 1996 to October 7, 2010. It's been repeated since. On the show, Blue is a dog. Her owner's Steve with a green-striped shirt, until 2002, when he's about ready for college. Now, Steve's younger brother Joe owns her.
The producers got ideas from child development and early-childhood education. Innovative animation and other techniques helped their viewers learn. The show follows a blue-spotted dog named Blue as she plays a game with the host and the viewers.
Blue's Clues becomes the highest-rated show for preschoolers on commercial TV. This was critical to Nickelodeon's growth. It has been called "one of the most successful, critically acclaimed, and ground-breaking preschool television show of all time".
