Have been watching Blues Clues with my son I'm in season 5 with Joe and I realized they stopped having him draw the clue in the handy dandy notebook, instead it's animated in. Does anyone know why they started doing that? I didn't watch Joe growing up but I watched Steve and I learned how to draw so many things watching him!
Quote: Joe! My name starts with the letter J!
The gang are putting together an alphabet train with items in a box that start with that letter.

Quote: Who's Colder than the Cold? (Said By Cinnamon/Villain Ice)
The Thinking Squad Stop Villain Ice.
Thoughts, observations, critiques, and/or stand-out scenes?
My Thoughts:
This is one of my favorite episodes for how it subverts the formula by having Cinnamon be the first villain in the franchise. I'm surprised it took them 12 seasons for this concept to come into play.
We don't get to see how the thinking squad train cinnamon as Ice Spice, but that's a nitpick.
i'm slowly but surely getting through all the old PC games because i want to experience them all. i owned all of the CD-ROMs except 123 time activities, treasure hunt and preschool and tbh i have clearer memories of playing the games than i do the show
so far, my favorite from childhood to this day is still blue's art time activities(blue's clues was also my first artist's inspo, thanks to the tank clue lmao). i seriously would buy a full-fledged game of JUST the recycle town where you gather the recycled items and make dioramas and unlock more content as you progress instead of it capping at 6 dioramas and 2 screens of items. i did them all in one sitting ๐ฅน my definition of a cozy game really is just click and drag crafting and following basic instructions. and it would have to look the exact same so it feels familiar (this would never happen but a girl can dream)
i also really like the color mixing board game in the backyard and getting the ribbons. funny that this game taught me the tertiary colors before joe did in the actual show ๐ญ

(just sharing what i made : D)
I've found it kinda hard to find a good list of all the DVDs for blues clues (not the new stuff). Did the whole series ever come out on dvd? And does anyone have a list of all the DVDs ;w;...thanks ๐
Sorry for the bad quality lol
Quote: How old are you anyway? (Said by a kid in the Mail Time segment)
Blue and her friends are planning a surprise party for Joe.

My thoughts:
This is one of my favorite episodes for how it subverts the formula by having the characters play Blue's Clues instead of the host. I'm surprised it took them 5 seasons for this concept to come into play.
We don't get to see how the characters draw the clues, but that's a nitpick.
Like I swear to god, I did not here anyone call Blue a girl in the show when I was younger.

Quote: Blue's on the roof!? (said by Periwinkle)
Joe, Blue, and Periwinkle wait for an egg to hatch.
Thoughts, observations, critiques, and/or stand-out scenes?
My thoughts:
This was a memorable outing for me as a kid. It really simulates the feeling of having to wait for what seems to be a long time. Patience is something even I struggle with sometimes.
It's another example of borrowing a concept from a previous episode and exploring another side of that concept. Instead of telling time (Blue's Surprise at 2 o'clock), the focus is specifically on waiting or anticipating a big event.

episodes shown: dress up day, the story wall, blue goes to the doctor(but also seen in up, down all around and bedtime business), & i did that!

i do love that joe occasionally shows his teasy, playfully mischievous side (the great joe's clues chase, stealing the thinking chair, etc.) but there are even specific episodes of him just making these little faces on the second "think" that caught me by surprise omg. this entire man has layers ๐ญ
the one from "i did that!" got my attention and had me skimming through all the season 5 and 6 episodes to find other ones and these are my faves. most of the time he's all smiles but i have made some pretty unidentifiable sounds seeing some of these. and most of these particular ones are unique to their episodes
i know steve usually has like a "thinking face" when he does it but it's that face the whole time and he looks away, with joe he's actually giving you a look with eye contact and all.... gawdddd ๐ซ ๐ซ ๐ซ
another related thing to add and gush about: i don't think any take of "play blue's clues" with joe wearing purple has ever been repeated, at least with the thinking chair part cause that's the only part i checked. i think it's really cool though that purple got pushed more towards the end of the series and also used for blue's room season 2 intro and then became his permanent color. he is the only host internationally to wear purple and it's the only situation where he has a globally-exclusive color, at least based on everything that is publically known to this date. not even kevin wears purple when he was doing the joe episodes(which wasn't even that many). but yeah. joe is the specialest so he gets his own extra special color only for him :))) ๐๐๐

Hello, I wanted to share these little art pieces i made featuring Blues clues characters! They're available on my ebay (last photo is my qr code to my ebay), if anyone is interested in checking them out I would really appreciate it! But yeah I also wanted to share with other blues clues fans ๐
Quote: I'm running! I'm feeling the rhythm (said by Joe)
Joe, Blue, and their friends have a band where they play musical instruments.
Thoughts, observations, critiques, and/or stand-out scenes?
My thoughts:
The show has done several episodes about music, dancing, or sound. And this one is no exception. This seems to take cues from Blue's Favorite Song and the Rainy Day episode. That's not a complaint, just an observation.
i just really feel this water clue in my soul... i remembered quite a few season 5 episodes fondly when i first rewatched but not these two as a whole, though these sounds alone really hit me. actual ear perking sounds
