chemistryguyBlue's Clues is an American children's television show that premiered on September 8, 1996, on the cable television network Nickelodeon,[1] and ran for a decade, until August 6, 2006. Producers Angela Santomero, Todd Kessler, and Traci Paige Johnson combined concepts from child development and early-childhood education with innovative animation and production techniques that helped their viewers learn. It was hosted originally by Steve Burns, who although a crucial factor in its success, left in 2002 to pursue a music career, and was replaced by Donovan Patton. The show follows an animated blue-spotted dog named Blue as she plays a game with the host and the viewers. Blue's Clues became the highest-rated show for preschoolers on American commercial television and was critical to Nickelodeon's growth. It has been called "one of the most successful, critically acclaimed, and ground-breaking preschool television series of all time".[1] A spin-off called Blue's Room premiered in 2004.
The show's producers and creators presented material in a narrative format instead of the more traditional magazine format, used repetition to reinforce its curriculum, and structured every episode the same way. They used research about child development and young children's viewing habits that had been conducted in the thirty years since the debut of Sesame Street in the U.S., and revolutionized the genre by inviting their viewers' involvement. Research was part of the creative and decision-making process in the production of the show, and was integrated into all aspects and stages of the creative process. Blue's Clues was the first cutout animation series for preschoolers, and resembled a storybook in its use of primary colors and its simple construction paper shapes of familiar objects with varied colors and textures. Its home-based setting was familiar to American children, but had a look unlike other children's TV shows. A live production of Blue's Clues, which used many of the production innovations developed by the show's creators, toured the U.S. starting in 1999. As of 2002, over 2 million people had attended over 1,000 performances.
By 2002, Blue's Clues had received several awards for excellence in children's programming, educational software, and licensing, and had been nominated for nine Emmy Awards. Versions of the show have been produced in other countries, and it has been syndicated in 120 countries and translated into 15 languages. It was one of the first preschool shows to incorporate American Sign Language into its content. The show's extensive use of research in its development and production process inspired several research studies that have provided evidence for its effectiveness as a learning tool.
History Toy versions of the characters Blue and Periwinkle
Blue's Clues was developed during a transitional period for children's television. In 1990, Congress had passed the Children's Television Act, which required networks and TV stations to devote a portion of their programming to children's shows, but the legislation did not specify how many hours of programming broadcasters were required to air. It set no guidelines or criteria for educational programs and had no provisions for enforcement. According to author Diane Tracy in her 2002 book Blue's Clues for Success, "The state of children's television was pretty dismal".[2][note 1] Since the late 1960s, PBS was one of the few sources for children's educational television programming in the U.S., and most other US educational TV shows were violent and were created for the purpose of selling toys.[4] The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ruled in 1997 that the commercial networks had to air educational children's programs for a minimum of three hours per week. The cable network Nickelodeon, which had been airing programs for 6- to 12-year-olds, was not legally bound by this legislation, but complied with it anyway, many years before the laws and regulations were passed.[4]

Lyrics: As the calendar rolled to a fresh, faultless year We cowered inside Held in check by our fear
I sat there with Molly Both feeling nonplussed Wondering which civil liberty Would first bite the dust
Then something went BUMP How that bump made us jump Could that jump from a bump be coming of Trump?
We looked And we saw him. The brute in the suit He mugged for the cameras And he gave a salute
“I’m great, and you know it,” Tweeted he to the air As a gentle breeze played with the wisps of his hair
But we saw through the haze Of his arrogant gaze And we felt the room fill with malicious malaise
“I admit that I quiffle a bit when I speak,” “But we all know who’s really the sneakiest sneak” Crooked Hillary’s buried her head in the sand Along with an email or four, understand?”
Well Molly and I Did not know what to think So pulled down the bourbon and offered a drink
He sniffed at the booze And expounded his views “I’ve got only one weak spot I can’t fucking lose.”
When he saw our in faces the dubious doubt His smile changed to a persnickety pout
“I’m taking down ISIS, I’ve got a great plan I’ll bomb the shit out of Iraq and Iran” “We think you’re confused,” we quickly began But he harrumphed rather rudely and held up a hand
“Then I’ll barricade borders I’ll put up a wall A wall that will be the most tally of all” “You think this is folly? “It won’t be drywall-y” “Mexico’s paying, now have a tamale”
But just in that instant we got a surprise As we watched all humanity leave his cold eyes We inwardly cringed His mind had unhinged This creature was one of the lunatic fringe
Cucks! Clicks and clucks Cuckhold doormat feminist fucks
Sandbag the economy Not enough for me Midtown Loki, can’t you see Everyone wants to be who I be
My stash of cash exudes class Rich white trash ignoring the backlash Snatch at the slash Grab and unlatch I’m the slicker willy that you’ll never catch
I’m King Huckster Fake luster I don’t buck the system she’s mine and I fucked her
Snick snack Don’t knock kick backs Amassing the hopeless and dicking the working class You think I’m your savior cuz I hoodwinked your ass
Don’t trust us Can’t bust us I’ll appoint my own brand of judicial injustice Executive privilege is my only religion
Smell the stench of the trench of a government that don’t branch
Then he slithered away like an overweight snake Leaving traces of tan oil fumes in his wake
Was he heading for Washington? Or Lower Manhattan? Or perhaps to the high golden peaks of Mount Zatton? We don’t really knows But that’s just how it goes We returned our attention to Netflick’s new shows
Be kind to your fine liberal friends For a cuck is a dumb motherfucker Entitled but don’t raise a sweat As they raise our deficit They roll on their backs like a bitch And exploit hard working rich (white males) But we’ll defend them anyway Because this message was endorsed by the NRAThe Waterfowl Bifurcationchemistryguy2016-11-24 | Five years ago, I picked up this source, and I've managed to use it a total of 10 times.

THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO MADE MY STAY HERE SO AWESOME!Luke Starkiller and the Quest for the Long Lost Lyricschemistryguy2015-10-03 | It's a strong bet that you've never heard the lyrics behind the score of the Star Wars Trilogy. George Lucas has been sitting on the previously unreleased film reels for decades, but has finally decided to make them public.
The space opera so loved the world over was originally intended to be just that. A set of lyrics was composed by John Williams to accompany his well known music.
It was found that the cast couldn't sing worth a damn, so George scrapped the idea, but vowed he wouldn't stop screwing around with his film until the end of time.
Lyrics: Come in for a bite! Half off drinks ladies night! It's the Star Wars. Star Wars Cantina. Best thing you've seena, it's Yoda approved. It's the Star Wars. Star Wars Cantina.

Similar to my several melodramatic exits from ytp, I'll most likely be sticking around. No idea when I'll have time or energy to make another video, but at some point it'll happen.
As to the condition of ytp, I remain torn. I'm out of touch with most of what's going on. I don't have the patience to sit through lots of mediocre videos to find the hidden gems anymore, so I'm probably missing out on some good stuff. But I haven't seen much of the experimentation that used to be commonplace 2 to 3 years ago. To me, fawful is the only one out there really flexing any creative muscle.
Additionally, it's like all of the newcomers don't seem to have a clue. YouTube Poop will be celebrating its 10 year birthday next month, and there are only a handful of people who realize it. Much like the poops we make, there's no sense of continuity. No growth. Years ago I fooled myself into believing ytp was going someplace (thanks prof. Bailey who nobody remembers anymore). Instead with every new generation, everything that came before is forgotten. Except for suminabitchin' cdi of course.
I guess I can't be too upset about the whole thing. It's like 12 year old kids that are coming into this for the first time. It's just a little sad.Steve suffers a bout of buyers regretchemistryguy2014-10-01 | More shit while I'm working on the real deal.PONIES.EXE// [FRIENDSHIP=INVALID!]chemistryguy2014-05-08 | To the adults: This is totally inappropriate viewing for work.

To my subs: Thank you. Especially those of you who've stuck with me since the beginning. You are the wind beneath my wings.
To all of the retired poopers: I salute you. You've provided us with both entertainment and enlightenment. It's a fuck-ton of work, and you did it all for the lolz. Rest easy my comrades.
To Dizney, Viacock, Hazbrony and the like: This is mine. Not yours. I acknowledge not your ownership, and instead proclaim myself Supreme Chancellor of this video.
This segment, originally intended to air as part of episode 0068, was pulled from the show due to concerns over the potential for children to use barber poles in inappropriate, or even dangerous ways.
The decision to cut this skit was met with resentment from the writers and puppeteers working at the Children's Television Network. It is rumored that Jim Henson himself threatened to take his materials and leave if the show took this course of action. Obviously he did not.
As other segments continue to surface, I will upload them to this channel. Maybe.Silent poopchemistryguy2014-01-04 | The last time windows updated, I lost my sound.

I'd been meaning to make a UK edition of Blue's Clues for some time. I must say although Kevin is no Steve, he seems to be a likable enough chap. Blue certainly sounds like herself.
