as a person who loved, I mean *loved* blue's clues growing up. and someone who really struggles to accepting changes. steve leaving was awful for tiny me. and whenever I found out about blue's clues and you, I was slightly disappointed, how could they continue the show without steve??? and I just didn't watch it and avoided it as much as possible. whenever I was watching tv and eating dinner. it was on, so after all my time avoiding it, I decided to watch it. and honestly, it was good. I liked it, it definitely isn't a favorite because of josh. but it's obvious he has just as much passion steve did. and he is I have to say a wonderful singer.

I'm nearing my late 20s but damn man, seeing Burns involved with the new show and bringing the spirit of it to a whole new generation, knowing that he's involved in its production and has played an adult version of his character in multiple episodes is making me hold back a couple tears. Love that photo of all three hosts from shortest to tallest with Burns crouching in the back, they all look like they're having the time of their life, the new show just seems very heartwarming. Him starting to lose his hair at 29 has me a bit worried about myself, heh, but hey if that were me I would have just started wearing wigs and kept rolling with the show a bit longer. It's awesome he's had such a great career after the original show, and it always makes me happy seeing people just embrace their roots, so many children's performers get needlessly self-conscious and go way out of their way to distance themselves. Not this guy though, and I really, really respect him for that.

He is one of the nicest people I've ever met. When we met him he told us about how when doing blues clues he was going through some tuff health stuff and that he felt that he kept going with blues clues he was just gonna get worse. He still loves the franchise and he seemes to be doing better.

Slowly, they just stopped playing Blue's Clues or any good show for that matter on TV. Bubble Guppies, Blue's Clues, Tasty Time with ZeFronk, all of that just stopped playing. Now it's Peppa Pig and Masha and the Bear... it's sad that new gen kids don't get to experience what we did. I don't remember watching the episode where Steve left.
