The history of Blues Clues is fascinating--they did a ton of research on what would be the most interesting show for their target demographic. Sesame Street is targeted at adults as well as kids, so is pretty interesting to us and interesting to little kids almost all the time, but Blues Clues is marketed smack dab at the preschooler attention span. They also show the same episodes repeatedly, because their research showed kids responding more to the show the third or fourth time they saw it. Which should make sense to anyone who's read a favorite book to a kid for the fiftybillionth time--kids that age live in a very, very puzzling world, and they digest information by getting it multiple times.

Were you watching Blues Clues that still had Steve, or is this the new Blues Clues?

...because Steve-era Blues Clues rocked, mister.
