Blue’s Clues is a popular kids’ animated show featuring Joe and his bright blue puppy named Blue. In every episode, kids can play along and think along as Joe embarks on a guessing game care of Blue.
Every episode starts off with Blue giving Joe something to guess. Throughout the show, Blue gives Joe three clues by marking them with his blue paw print. When the kids spot the paw print, they would shout “a clue! a clue!” and point it out to Joe. As Joe tries to decipher the clues, he purposely pauses for a while allowing the viewers to shout out the answers. This allows the kids to feel as if they are actually part of the show. He then draws each clue in his “handy dandy notebook”.
When all clues are collected, Joe sits on his “thinking chair” and takes out his “handy dandy notebook”. With the help of the audience, he tries to figure out Blue’s puzzle for the day. Afterwhich, everyone joins him in doing his “We just figured out Blue’s Clues” song and dance number.
