Blue's Clues - Macy's Thanksgiving Parade 2021

[@tobiasdubose8812]

I was crying tears of joy when I saw them on the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and I'm 21, about to be 22 in April. I am happy and proud to have been a part of 21 of those 25 years & to be apart of the contribution to the show’s success from buying VHS tapes & DVDs to the Handy Dandy Notebooks I had in my possession as a kid. Also, you can call out Big Bird all you want because I never cared for Sesame Street, but don’t mess with Steve & Blues Clues. As Kenny Chesney once said, you mess with one man you’ve got us all. Don’t you dare think about saying something rude & disrespectful about my generation’s greatest treasure: Blue’s Clues. Don't even think about saying crap about them. Leave Steve & Blue's Clues alone. Now that I've thought about, I have came to an additional conclusion to what I already said a few months ago. In the event that this country finds itself in turmoil, heartache, misery, or any other form of chaos (like we have for the last two years), Steve would be the perfect adult in the room. When the first inception of Blue's Clues was on from 1996 to 2004, here's what was going on: Bill Clinton got impeached for getting blown in the Oral Office, Columbine happened, fears of the Y2K bug were high, there was the confusion surround the 2000 Presidential Election between Bush and Gore, the Wars in Afghanistan and (though Steve was gone by this point) Iraq had begun, and not only was the show on when September 11th happened, but the show was filmed in NYC's Tribeca district (which is in lower Manhattan and just a few blocks away from the World Trade Center). Steve would be the perfect adult in the room to address the nation, not some of these politicians in DC. Steve would also be the perfect adult in the room considering the fact that most people born between 1991 and 2005 grew up with Steve as the adult in the room. Lastly, when I said that Steve and the show will never know how much of an impact he had on an entire generation of kids, myself included, I wasn't just talking about those who watched the show. Allow me to explain. I said that Sesame Street and Mister Rogers Neighborhood helped grow kids educational television in the 70s and 80s while Steve and Blue's Clues helped shape kids educational television in the 90s and 00s. If you look at other shows that came on after Blue's Clues, you will see that a lot of them had similar elements towards Blue's Clues. On Nick Jr. alone, there was Dora the Explorer, Team Umizoomi (which featured Joe in it), and Bubbles Guppies. Not only on Nick Jr., but also their competitors were inspired by them. On Playhouse Disney/Disney Jr., the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse had inspirations from Blue's Clues. On PBS Kids, there was a show called Super Why. Not only did Super Why have a ton of similarities to Blue's Clues, but one of the people who worked on Super Why also worked on Blue's Clues. In fact, going a step further, one of Super Why's production companies was called "Out of the Blue", an homage to the worker's former project. So even if you didn't watch Blue's Clues, you probably watched one of the other shows I mentioned. That's what I mean when I say that Steve influenced an entire generation of kids, regardless of if you watched Blue's Clues or not, and regardless of if you watched Nick Jr. or not.

When I saw three of them together celebrating 25 years of Blue's Clues as they sang that song. It brought a tear to my eye, that show was my childhood at 4-5 years old

They're such amazing singers!!!! It's unreal for a live performance outside tbh

[@alanhelton]

Even though they announced Steve was on the float, it still took my mind many moments to come to terms with the reality! Was so awestruck to see Steve again!

[@sorayawatkins3626]

I hope everyone in that parade knows how lucky they are to see Steve in person that man was my childhood loved him so happy he’s back

[@evanwilliams6406]

It's good to see Steve and Joe doing well. I always thought something happened to Steve, but it turned out he went off to pursue something he is passionate about, music and worked behind the scenes instead of being in front of a camera all the time and that can take a lot out of you.
