"Now, 'tis time to make a familiar greeting of farewell
However, we shall take up one more descant.
I thank thee for doing thy part, surely thou hast a quick wit!
Thou knowest that together with my hound Blue 
We can accomplish the many desires that we wish to attempt."
~Blue's Clues, The long-lost Shakespeare Edition

Danke! We've been watching a little Blue's Clues while Cordy has her afternoon bottle. I loved the show when it was new (geeky future educator watched preschooler TV in high school). The jazz hands made everything worth it. =D
Side note- do you like Yo Gabba Gabba? I know you've mentioned it...but I'm still not sure what I think about it. Mind you, a seven-month-old doesn't need to be watching TV all day long and we don't, but yeah- she liked the colors and repetition. I was confused. Then Elijah Wood started to dance (!!!) and it became epic.

I watched Blue's Clues when it first came out. I was sick with some horrible bug for two weeks and Nick Jr. was all there was until noon. I remember the mascot was Face and they showed the same episode every day all week "just in case you missed it." There was actually a segment on Friday that said, "This is your last chance to see the first ever episode of Blue's Clues!"

For a parent, Gabba annoys and amuses all at the same time. It's really........bizarre. From a child's standpoint, though, it's "awesome." Bright colors are eye-catching for young kids and the demented singing and dancing will suck them in. It's actually on right now and Amelia hasn't moved since it started. O_o

But oh, God, Elijah Wood. That was the first episode! You can totally see that the light in his eyes is just gone. "Why am I doing this? I'm going to kill my agent."

Yeah, we have basic cable, so we supplement with Netflix ($20 a month for the two combined vs $50 to get the Nick/Disney tier). I have all the episodes that have been released to DVD for both. We also have watched Word World, which tickles my Kindergarten fancy but she isn't really impressed. I love Word Girl because Becky is basically me from when I was a kid, I wish I was younger when it came out.
