The Birthday Party and Blue

Who is coming up the road toward the party? It is Blue of the famous TV show, Blue's Clues! This is Sam's favorite TV show.

Blue's Clues is a children's television show that premiered on Nickelodeon on September 8, 1996, and ran until 2006. It was created by a "green team" of producers, Todd Kessler, Angela Santomero, and Traci Paige Johnson, who used concepts learned from child development and early-childhood education research to create a television show that would capture preschool children's attention and help them learn. They used the narrative format in their presentation of material, as opposed to the more traditional magazine format, and structured every episode the same way. The result, Blue's Clues, has been called "one of the most successful, critically acclaimed, and ground-breaking preschool television series of all time.
