Thats sad y'all. I was born in 86 but my brother loved Blues Clues. I never got to see Steve leave because we didnt have cable. I liked the got coz he just had the charisma of pee wee Herman. Even when Pee Wee was kicked off the air, I couldn't understand why. So I guess what I'm saying is Pee Wee was my Steve. My brothers Steve was his Pee Wee.

There is an episode of the new blues clues where the new guy calls up Steve and Joe to ask for help with his current clue. At first this moment is nothing more than a cute cameo, then steve asks "hey do you mind if I talk to my friend for a moment". The mood gets a little more personal and the phone is oriented to face the screen. Steve then directly speaks to us like he always did, engaging with us and waiting for our response. Asking us to help the new guy like we helped him. I fucking instantly burst into tears. Its such a personal moment designed to engage with those that grew up with him. Maybe parents watching this new show with their kids would see that and be affected. Steve will always and forever be our friend.

The US-led Coalition invade Iraq, the Afghan War continues to this very day, Libya, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen collapsed into Civil War, it seems like the world doesn't changed.

@@CaptainTittus Actually, it has nothing to do with living in a reality or not. My therapist actual brought up parasocial relationships to me, because I grow that type of attachment easily with youtubers & celebrities(or the characters they play) that I relate to in one way or another. If someone let's it get out of hand, that's when you get creepy obsessed people, who take it to far (stalking, finding phone numbers, ect.) But for people who don't let it get out of hand, it's a way that gives comfort or a sense of friendship. This happens most frequently with people who feel lonely, weither it's because they were emotionally neglected, or they never felt like they could find people who they related too, ect. That is typically the reason why people get so attached to people they follow on the internet, or watch on TV. Again, it's dangerous if it gets out of hand, but for most, it's a sense of comfort. Especially in this day and age where many people feel isolated (not just cause covid). Sorry for the long reply, just wanted to get my thought out there.

Blues clues taught me that two triangles can make a square or rectangle. That means that two things can come together to create something greater.

That part hit me really hard. I started college this past year and was worried I wouldn’t really meet anyone because I’m not very outgoing. Thankfully, I’m in marching band and had an opportunity to meet some amazing people, so I did make some great new friends. Unfortunately, the first person I started to bond with and thought that I would actually be good friends with was in an accident the night before a performance. When we heard the news the next day I was absolutely devastated. This video reminded me of him, and while it makes me sad, it lets me reflect on how lucky I was to know him.

[@unicronagent13]

Same. The community center I work at had 2 receptionists who were very sweet, very intelligent, and they made me feel better about my self when I was down. I usually don’t like making friends at workplaces if only because of connections with the workplaces exist. Specifically, I work for my hometown’s local govt. It’s a city govt job, it’s more shite than your typical local govt, over 80% of the employees are miserable, incompetent, or both. I still don’t like that certain employees (dept heads, city officials, etc.) know who I am as that guy whose parents are city employees. But it was through working there that I discovered it wasn’t all bad. The 2 receptionists gave me a little bit of hope that things will get better. And then, within a month of each other, they moved on with their lives by quitting their jobs at the center. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy for them, wish the best and all, and hope they have a good life. But I miss them and miss having them there because they made me laugh in my dark times. Things change. That doesn’t always mean they will be better, but things do change.

[@dorothyallspice1862]

I agree! Thank Steve, he was in charge of casting for the Blue's Clues reboot.

Can't top joe or Steve. Especially after the drag queen episode.

[@ethnictendo]

​@@a_beebleThere wasn't a drag queen episode. There was a song sung by a drag queen character in one of the videos on the official KZbin channel, but that was it. Josh didn't even appear in that video.

I get this man is probably in his early 40's now, I'd still call him my friend, even though I know he's not the same as he was on the show. He made my childhood, especially since I didn't have any friends irl back then. He was the only friend I had, so him leaving hurt me so much, and it still kinda does now, though I do have at least one irl friend now.

[@kidwithlennahc5655]

Same i thought he was my only friend and I didnt know there were episodes where he left bcoz of him I thought I dont need any friends I also send a letter to him in a nearby post office DO U WANNA BE MY BEST FRIEND? But sadly now I realized that it was a old mail box

Decided i'd reply to 1 comment, and yours resonated to me. :o I too didn't have many friends when i was.. 5 or 6, and I had the Handy Dandy notebook, and a stuffed animal of blue. Steve was a better friend then most friends will ever be now.. I never watched the episode Steve left on, because i was at the age where I wandered to other shows, and occasionally my mother would yell, "oh hey it's your favorite show!" and we'd all watch.. then Steve was gone on one of those.. random episode encounters.. and we forever stopped watching.. We never knew why he left, and I'm glad it was on his terms, and not various other reasons. by now, age 26, I realize my love for drawing probably started with Blues Clues, however minor it was. Now.. I've lost my imagination.. :/ oh well.. I'm glad I stumbled on to this video, kinda adds Closure to what happened to Steve.

@@qwaszxcvbnm7 it's ridiculous how qe are finding each other and being connected because of a kids show. I too used to wander to other shows, ofc the only (2) difference is that the shows I used to watch (including blue's clues) was saved on a laptop that we would just connect to our tv, and that I was younger than 5 back when I watched the show. I have a terrible memory so my memories of that show was very vague, so I can't really remember if I did watched the episode where steve left, but even if memory was vague, I can clearly recall steve, blue (which I still thought a boy until this video) and the theme of the show, which is doing detective work (as I like to call it back then) and finding clues scattered around the house and fit the puzzle pieces to make something very cool, like a experiment I would be lying if I said that my drawing skills didn't came from the show, but that isn't really what I got from the show. What I TRULY got from the show was my love for mystery solving. I've always loved gravity falls' idea of a boy trying to solve the mysterious things that's happening of the said place, and I've also fallen into the ARG (short for Alternate Reality Game) rabbit hole. But there's something that's going I to my mind, what's the reason? Why do I love these things? Ofc I know the reason that I've been connected into this genre since childhood, like the mecha genre, but from where exactly? I mean, I already know where I got my love from mecha, it's because my country just loves voltes v and I've fallen into that bandwagon, but I don't really know exactly why I've also fallen in love with the mystery genre. But after watching this video, that madee recall that it was blue's clues which is the reason why I love the mystery genre. It's because of how steve finds the clues that blue's leaves throughout the place, and that makes me feel even more connected to the show. Damn I miss those plain simple days where everything was just normal, no covid, and we were all still careless about our surroundings, only us and our little fantasies...

The only thing I took away from this video is that BLUE IS A GIRL.

[@KlynerKaiOffical]

I grew up feeling like the king of the play ground cause I knew that Blue was female

Before I knew about Blue being female, I shipped her with Magenta XD

When my little brother was like 3 we got him a green and green striped shirt, like Steve, and he was so very excited. He kept touching his sleeves and laughing. He wouldn't watch the episodes with just Joe and after Joe was a standalone in the show, didn't like the ones with both Joe and Steve. We even tried to give him a Joe shirt but he hated it. It's honestly kind of awesome hearing about the real life Steve and his anxiety about being dishonest with children and I think that's one of the things that made him so good at being in Blue's Clues. When you're a kid all the good adults in your life are constantly thinking about how they're interacting with you and what they're conferring to you through those interactions. You're mostly completely unaware of that until you're an adult interacting with kids and then suddenly you realize how terrifying that is and are really grateful to the adults who cared about you in a way you couldn't be before.

[@jaredwonnacott9732]

My 4 year old just got to those episodes. I've rarely seen her cry like this, and only once over something on a show. Truly an amazing, sweet, and heartbreaking thing to see.
