- Blue's Clues' legacy is that of a show that taught millions of children around the world, but also one of one with mysteries off and on-screen. Why did Steve leave the show? Why did Joe have to take over? Today, we find out together, on this episode of Quinton Reviews.

None of us hated joe, we just missed steve
I never knew who joe was cause I grew up before I was able to watch those episodes
@@l_.d.t Dude same, I watched Blue's Clues before Steve wen't to collage. So I never got to be sad when Steve wen't to collage
True that
@Braden Nolan reruns?
Yea
"we just got a letter, we just got a letter, we just got a let- oh it's a death threat."
Don’t u do this to me, don’t u ruin my favorite childhood show
L M A O
NO NOT BLUE FROM THE HIT SHOW BLUES CLUES
Someone needs to make a comedy of blues clues and add that in
Yeah for the guy on blues clues in the new one
*"Blue's Clues taught me.... that nothing is forever. And that's okay."*
Damn. That hits so hard. 😢
And patterns… can’t forget about the patterns
I wanna cry
Just like how the ending of Amphibia once told us, "Change could be difficult, but it’s how we grow. It’s the hardest thing to realize you can’t hold on to something forever, but sometimes you have to let it go. But half the things you let go, you’d be surprised what makes its way back to you."
Thanks

HAHAHAHA
hes lucky i get little to no death threats XD
I remember when 'Steve' left and my mom and I had a serious discussion that sometimes people go. I remember being sad and playing with my Blue stuffed animal, never watching it again.
I remember my gran had to tell me that too I was a 2011 kid because I was born in 2009 yet still know the horror I got through with That episode
awww
I had a similar thing happen to me, i never watched it again after steve was gone, once he left my friend was gone. there was no longer a reason to watch.
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.
@@violinfanatickamraz1403 You must be 34 then?
I do actually have somewhat of a soft spot for Joe. He never quite reached Steve's level, but I could never hate him.
That basically sums up his entire aesthetic
Same here. He's just being himself and I still thought joe was fun. Steve's big role just overshadowed him
Joe was chill
The new Steve in "Blue's Clues and You" can't even reach JOE'S level and I only saw him like two times in "Blue's Clues"? Idk but I only remember seeing the kind, soft old Steve.
@@angelcoffee1972 I wonder if they would ever do a reunion special, where Steve AND Joe come back.
If I remember correctly, Steve temporarily returned to say hi on episode 100. Joe filled him in on what "we" had learned so far, and Steve was impressed at us learning fractions.
Good times. Steve leaving is where men cried.
When Steve left, all the children of the world grew a small a chest hair that day
@@MosiahWhite not bc They grew to be a man... But bc They had to, there was no other way to endure the pain
And him returning a few days ago, made us cry too
I was pretty much 4 by 2002 and didnt see the show until like 2004 yet I still teared up seeing it for the first time in this video
Terrible day for rain
I ran to my mom crying saying “steve is going to college mom! I’m going to miss him!” 😭 she looked at me like I was crazy! 😂 I was so invested in this show as a child. Steve was literally my best friend. So much nostalgia watching this video I love it ❤️
I did the same!
Im a 35 year old man and this whole video got me in tears, Steve was really someone special, I know the show was meant to talk one on one with the audience individually but no one could have done the way Steve did it, he didn't know how big of a legend he was going to become.
Remember that this man spent years performing in front of a green screen, pretending as if he was talking to friends in a world... which actually never existed. To have to perform like that can take a toll on anyone's brain, yet he managed to keep up with it till the end. That's the mark of a great actor.
Btw I used to watch this when I was 8. :)

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.
Joe also said "like you helped me" to the audience like Steve... Steve and Joe BOTH told us to help Josh and honestly I cried im almost 22 and I honestly teared up when I watched that scene in the new show
Ya I saw that on facebook and ugly cried 😭
"Daddy why are you crying?"
"HE IS STILL SO KIND, AFTER ALL THIS YEARS"
please have some respect. that new guy is josh. I grew up with this show and remember so well when we got joe. I'm 25. josh is absolutely killing it.
@Lemonworm, such episode was this?
Steve apologised recently to us for his sudden departure and I just cried my way through it? I don't think I realised that it was almost kind of traumatic for me as a kid for Steve to just.... leave like that. But like, in the way that it hurts when a friend moves away.
I cannot believe it's been 25 years.
He left in 2002 you dunce. Thats only 20 years you absolute brainlet.
Wow, guess you didnt listen to Steve during the addition and subtraction lessons at all huh?
Wow.
Its more than 25 years now, and now we get to see our friend Steve at conventions.
"Nothing lasts forever, and that's okay." Hit the hardest
The homies are gonna leave one day 😔
yep because its true but its actually nothing 'GOOD' because all know horrible stuff last forever, or maybe its my bad luck who knows.
When your homies from the school go to separate paths in life and you know you will never see them again but they will always live in your memories

The way he drew in his handy dandy notebook was so satisfying cause it was always perfect. I think my obsession with tiny notebooks came from this show lol

As a parent watching a lot of Blue's Clue, the genius part of the show is the non-verbal communications. Young kids picked up Steves facial expressions and Blue's actions. IMO, talking muppets just broke the magic of the show.
I feel like the biggest irony of the show is that Blue's Clues did fake interactivity so well and to a fucking art that stuff like Dora ended up feeling insultingly childish by comparison.
The whole "cultivating a relationship with the kids through the camera totally worked" is absolutely true. I'm STILL convinced that Steve went off to college.
My mom would set up clue hunts for me, drawing paw prints on sticky notes and putting them on things around the house. Then, once I found them and drew them, I'd rush over and climb onto my thinking chair, a big armchair in our living room and think about it for a while, before triumphantly announcing the answer to her. I love her so much and I'm so thankful for all she did for me, she really made my childhood magical
that's so sweet omg I wish all the happiness in the world for you and your mom
that's so beautiful it made me cry
I’m tearing up omg
That’s so sweet and beautiful🥰

“When someone leaves your life, those exits are not made equal. Some are beautiful and poetic and satisfying; others are abrupt and unfair; but most are unremarkable, unintentional and clumsy.” - Griffin McElroy
I never expected to see this here, but i'm so glad it is.
Well put, although I'd argue that the most poetic losses are often the really tragic ones. Depends on your taste in poetry, I guess.
im sorry but i can't hear "griffin mcelroy" without hearing "40 FT VERTICAL LEAP
Back soon
The most impactful thought I've ever had, is that at some point you'll say goodbye to a friend for the last time, but you won't know it.
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. Two Ideas, two strengths, two friends, two brothers, etc. It taught me that just because one thing does not work, it could mean that its the only ingredient in this recipe. It could be needing something else to be able to function greater.
I will never forget that show.
That is BEAUTIFUL ToT
That's deep
25 years of blues clues. Steve's message made me cry in front of my friends and you know what? They did too.

@@wabai_879 I'm not trying to take away the oppurtunity to express any emotion you are feeling.
The discovery that the host speaks sign language while speaking, made my heart melt. I loooved it because I just thought he was very animated as a child, until later in life realizing that he did that so that anyone could understand Blue's Clues. Simply amazing and underrated.
I am now realizing that Joe was the host when I watched Blue’s Clues, and yet Steve IS Blue’s Clues to me. Steve left 6 months before I was born
Yup. Just like quinton and alnost everyone else her e, acting like they only liked steve yet they werent even born yet for it or were an infant.
I don't know what's weirder, the fact that there's a generation that lives with Joe instead of Steve, or the fact that there's a generation that lives with Josh instead of Joe and Steve.
Who’s Josh? Didn’t watch the full video so i have no clue if “Josh” is someone he mentioned.
@@thecreatorofpc7929 Oh, Josh was never mentioned in the video but he's basically the current host for the new Blue's Clues and You in Nick Jr. There's actually an episode where he didn't know what's going on with Blue and so he called Joe and Steve. It's such a beautiful moment because it feels like a response to this video.
The only reason why I knew about Josh is because he's Filipino, and it made headlines here
Josh???
Who the hell is Josh???
Ok i understand now

Funny enough, it literally did XD
Sigh it really kinda did : (
I was 7 when I watched this, I was blank minded when I realized heard him say "college"
All I remember him doing was walking into a blue bus and peeking out the door waving, saying goodbye and smiling.
Thats heartwarming🥲❤❤❤
I never hated Joe, but after two episodes watching him I've stopped because he wasn't Steve. I felt that my childhood went away with Steve and left me a bit of an empty feeling.
Same
I felt the same like my child hood was never the same
yeah it wasn’t nearly the same.. an i probably felt resentment toward joe. steve made the show what it was along the energy he brought
Your entire childhood went away with steve???
It's somewhat fitting though depending on your age when you started watching it because by 2002, the original audience was starting to get older.
It felt the same way for most kids that watched the original Power Rangers cast end up slowly breaking apart and being replaced over time.
When I was a kid, I used to think there was a device in the tv that allowed Steve to hear me because I could hear other children in the background. I would get mad because I would sometimes shout out the answer 1st and he would ignore me. I also believed that if I bought a bigger tv it would show more of the picture... I miss being a dumb kid, the world felt so much bigger.
Lol, you know how videos say "leave a thums up"? So idk how so i LITTALLY did a thums up when i was 4.
thats so cute
Nope just shows the same part of the screen just bigger. I LEARNED THE HARD WAY
Wait you mean that wasn't the case?Oh my God if Steve couldn't hear me dose that mean Dora and Diego couldn't either? My whole childhood was a lie.
Same....miss being a tiny dummy
I didn’t know we were making memories. We were just having fun!

No one talks about how hard it was on the parents when Steve left. As a new Mom, I was broken. 😢 My two year old, however, took it all in stride. 💪🏻 😀

I remember wanting a notepad and an oversized crayon because of this show.
I got my little sibling one, it made her so happy...
SO RELATABLE 😂
Comically large crayon
When I was a kid it was the same. Honestly I think this show is the reason that I like mystery and detective stuff so much now.
I destroyed many a notebook trying.
It’s unbelievable that Fred Rodgers was the standard for children’s programming at one point, he should be the standard again.
Even Bear from Bear in the Big Blue house was comparable to Fred Rodgers.
madden8021
In a sense, yeah. But I guess it’s been a while since there had been a show that calmly and sweetly described to children the gravity of divorce, the negative repercussions of racism and even a mass shooting: which is sadly something more prevalent now more than ever.
@@DiegoAlvarezBeltran1993. Very True indeed.
DBfan 84
You kind of answered your question?
Somewhat, anyway: When he passed away, he left a blueprint of what children’s television /should/ be, kind and gentle, not overbearing and able to communicate even the most important subject matters in an easy digestible manner for children to comprehend but still speaking to them like adults.
It is a fine line that Fred Rodgers drew perfectly.
@@DiegoAlvarezBeltran1993. it doesn't even have to be a copy.
Just teach kids it's okay to feel things. It's okay to be sad. It's okay to be angry. There's a reason they feel that way but they can also stop feeling that way if they want to.
This video made me cry like a baby. I couldn’t put into words what Steve and Blue’s Clues meant to me. Even today as an adult, I feel comfort from it. Just hearing and seeing Steve Burns talk makes me happy inside. In a weird way, I guess. I just.. Steve was my best friend. When he went to college, I was happy for him but sad it was over. I didn’t realize it could end. Hell, I was that kid going around talking to furniture thinking everything had a sentience. I was overly nice to everyone. I had friends at school that we would pretend we had Blue or Magenta with us. Thank you, Steve. With you and Blue, I felt like I really could do anything.
You can clearly see Steve holding back tears on that last line before going out.
Not me at 20 years old actually crying about Steve leaving
Oh good. Glad to know I wasn't alone lolol
Seriously! I never watched the show but I'm so sad
I grew up with steve and joe but never watched the episode where steve left on that one fateful day, after watching the episode after never watching it when i was little i still cried, i remember steve way more than joe, steve was a pretty big part of my childhood
This was my favorite show since I was a CHILD now I'm a teen 🥺

I remembered the notebook, the chair, the characters, all of it. Maybe the hardest throwback I’ve ever been hit with, to a time I can only remember through those moments that bring me back
Nearly, don't lie, you cried, like me, 35 year old man and this video made me shed tears.
😭I miss it
Loved how you analyzed Blues Clues and the impact Steve had on families. Parents watched him with their children and I think we missed him more than the children
Its like on that very last line the real Steve and the fictional character finally intersected and Steve managed to be himself and completly honest in the show for once.
It's more accurate to say that was the only time he COULD truly be himself, since everything preceding this had to follow a rigid set of scripted phrases. When there would be no more scripts, Steve finally had the ability to be both versions of himself at once.
I really didn't expect to cry at a video about blue's clues
Me neither but this video really filled the current hole in my life
yep, especially the make a wish part
Same here! Even though I remember crying when my kids and I were watching the episode where Steve left. *Sniff*

I was in first or second grade when Steve left the show, and I remember, while talking about the change with some friends at lunchtime, one of my friends started to cry. When we asked her if it was because she was gonna miss Steve, she said no, it was because her parents were getting divorced. It seemed out of left field then, but now I wonder if talking about the smaller change (the loss of Steve) poked at the bruise of a much bigger one. Idk, just a thought.
(Thank you for the video, it made me cry, in the good way.)
I believe Steve leaving must have reminded her of how her parents getting a divorcing and never sharing the same household again as big changes for her.
I was in like kindergarten or something
She probably saw it as one more thing changing in her life, and what would be next!!
I can only imagine all those thoughts happening at the same time for a 1st or 2nd grader. She finally broke during lunch time and started crying.

If Mister Rodgers is everyone's dad/granddad, Steve was everyone's cool older brother who's going to college at the end of Summer, so you spend more time with him before he goes.

ANJERY
Can we please talk about how blue's clues teaches ASL? Didn't know that? Watch what Steve (or Joe or Josh even) does when he says "blue's clues" "think" or "smart" depending on the host/episode and "thanks". All of those are ASL signs! Teaching young children ASL is very important, it gives them other ways of communication that parents/caretakers can understand as well, beyond just spoken and written words! Josh even does nick jr. social media campaigns with "blues clues asl signs of the week"
(Edit: I had no idea "blue's world" was a thing until you showed it and the clip brought forth a long forgotten memory of it)
I never realized how much of an effect Blue's Clues had until you got a letter lol. I actually got excited. I haven't seen this show in years.
Oh my god the birth of Baby Paprika was one of my most defining childhood moments
i saw baby paprika when i was little and i loved her. paprika was what made me want a baby sibling

Share it, yo
I too liked that crayon
Yeah my dad made me watched this when I was a kid, and all of the episodes he made me watch was with Steve. I honestly didn't know he left months before I was born.
Same. I remember that episode
Born in 97, blues clues was my first love as a show, blue becoming my favorite color, realizing blue and pink weren't gender exclusive, learning more every day. My favorite movie that I had on vhs was when Steve solved the musical with periwinkle... I love it still.
I auditioned to be the third host and never heard back but the dream was alive for me to be a Steve for a new generation.
One of my friends had his own life-size version of the thinking chair and I thought it was the coolest thing in the world. This show really did have a profound impact on people.
That IS the coolest thing in the world. I want one
You know they actually let Steve keep the thinking chair in the end? Or at least one of them? Apparently he’ll actually sit in it with his (real) dog sometimes. You never think about what would happen to the thinking chair, but knowing that Steve still has his chair, still sits in it with his dog, that just keeps me going sometimes.
Kal that’s beautiful 😭
I had one, dont know where it is though
It came with crayons and the Handy dandy Notebook
I had one too. By the time it was no longer in the house (I forget if we donated it or just threw it out), it was in very bad shape thanks to *years* of me endlessly bum-rushing the chair with notebook in hand.
Steve is not just a character. HIS OUR FRIEND 😢😢😢
Not just a friend, a best friend
Not just a best friend a legend
Sorry if this make u mad but it's supposed to be He's not his.
Not just a ledgend but the left hand of god
@Dorian Redwine ok
I saw this after I watched Steve's short video for Blue's Clues 25th Anniversary. It's amazing that how much this affected everyone, as small or big it may be. It's a wonderful thing to be a part of. I never saw the episodes that Steve actually left. I found out much later in life that he was replaced but I just "outgrew" it. Coming back to it, it really makes you wanna tear up. It's beautiful.
Like Adventure Time said, "Everything stays, but it still changes."
_Ever so slightly_ , _Daily and nigthly_ , _in little ways_ , _where everything stays_ .

Go down to the ocean~
It makes me sad that they didn’t give Steve a better goodbye. All the characters are just like “okay bye Steve 😽👋”

Although this episode was the saddest moment, the most saddest moment was actually Fred Rogers Goodbye Speech that aired at the end of 2002 because one year after the speech, he passed away on February 27th, 2003. Although he was loved by everyone in the world, his goal wasn't achieved. Because even after his death, the world doesn't change. 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. Fred Rogers wanted the world into a better life. Which means he just wanted the world to end those bloodshed. If Fred Rogers lives longer, he would be totally disappointed when he sees the world today.
Itmakes me sad and i loved mr.roger and blues clues
People want to watch the world burn.
But a very rare few just want to watch the world learn.
@MrBloxBlix He kinda did though with children's educational tv programs for pbs.
That’s because this world is run by a satanic elite, not good people like Mr Rogers
@@taidakun_ig boy this is good counter to that quote commenting, cause there is no bookmark/save option, have a like! ;]
"Nothing is forever and that's okay"... didn't think I'd be getting a dose of reality from this video, but here we are
This is exactly what I expected from this video
OMG this made me cry a little. I wasn't a kid, I HAD kids (my kids were born in 1997,98,and 99.) Steve was so good at his job and this show was so sweet. I cried when he left. Joe was fine but it wasn't the same.
I totally agree with you... once Steve leave the show, it doesn't feel the same anymore.. It wasn't like the show is turning bad, it is just that it felt different, like something is really missing, is what i was feeling when i was a kid. The show really leave a good memories to me and i still think that Steve is the true hidden blues clues that we all have been searching all this time.
I honestly have so much more respect for Steve Burns as an entertainer knowing that he had to pull off being a kids' show host while also being trapped in the blue screen dimension.
Quinton: "We just got a letter!"
Me: barely holding back singing along
Quinton: *"It's another death threat."*
Honestly I wanna cut that snippet from the video and use it as a Discord meme, that's gold 🤣
There will never be a show like Blue clues, and there doesn't need to be. The show left a permanent mark on so many people. It kept us young by showing us how to grow up. Beautiful.
This review made me realize how much influence this show has had on me! My love of mysteries, problem solving, notebooks, and writing started with Blues Clues. 💙
We just got an upload! We just got an upload! We just got an upload! I wonder who it's from!
It’s another death threat
Oh no...

@@DreadBirate Blue, put it in the pile.

Whenever I think of Blue’s Clues, I think of the one VHS special where Steve had an existential crisis about how he’s never the one to find the clues himself. It resolved with a clue literally falling on his head, giving him the validation he so desperately craved.
EDIT: Thanks to Wikipedia for reminding me the special was called “Blue’s Big Musical Movie”
Anyway, great video as always! Surprisingly emotional
Oh My Lord, I remember that. I rented that tape all the time from Blockbuster.
Agent Raven Aaaaaa, I had that vhs!!! I remember it fondly 💙💙💙
No joke the song steve learns in that movie is still stuck in my head nearly 20 years later Beep Bop Bay Hey Hey
All of the songs in that special unironically slap
@@SharkieTheDork I still know so many of them word for word! It just makes me really happy.
I can’t count the amount of times I watched Blue’s Big Musical Movie as a kid. The show as well was very special to me. Thank you for the nostalgia dose
this isn't when the boys cried, this isn't where the girls cried, this is where we all cried.
The episode that Steve left- it was the first to teach me loss... strangely enough, that was probably the last day I thought that everything was picture perfect, and the last day I really had that “spark.”
Damn. Out all of these comments, this one resonates with me and I can't understand why.
Big sad :(
Similar to Stephen Hillenburg leaving Spongebob after the first movie. Spongebob's considered slapstick/physical humor: Laughs came from characters getting hurt. But many iconic jokes are in the show and nobody was injured. After he left, people forgot about that: Instead of slapstick, characters are just getting hurt in stupid ways, but it's not funny anymore. It's isn't the same without you, Stephen (1961-2018).
That year just wasn’t nice. I lost Steve and then the family cat. My childhood was gone and I was sent into a spiraling torrent of pain and misery. HOW COULD YOU LEAVE STEVE
I didn't really believe he wasn't coming back, only hit home on the first episode of the next season, but once I realized that he really wasn't coming back the experience was pretty similar to how you described it.
The reason none of the other foodstuffs talk is because Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper aren't sentient salt and pepper, they're sentient salt and pepper shakers. Kind of like how Kool Aid Man is just a giant empty pitcher who happens to contain Kool Aid.
Logic.
I've also thought about this
What about baby paprika
Also Steve is just talking skin and just happens to contain a brain, bones, and organs
@@baconbot62 make scenes for me
@@poncedefreon84 Scenes about talking skin that just happen to contain a brain, bones, and organs?
You’ve brought me back all the grief that came with the shift between Steve and Joe. *He left us and my 3 year old self was SO UPSET*
It was my favorite show as a very little kid, I never considered that he was my Mr. Rogers, but I suppose he is since I was too young to watch Mr. Rogers
*Fuck I never thought I’d be 19 and tearing up about Steve leaving*
Bro, I watched Blue’s Clues as a kid and remember crying when Steve left.
This is bring back so many nostalgic memories...
The second that scene of Steve leaving for the bus started, I burst out into tears. You know, like a child. I was 6 when Steve left and it was around the time where organically I was maturing past the program, so seeing Steve moving on so maturely and handing over the reigns to his younger brother really helped me understand as a kid that it was okay for me to move on from it, too. It’s weird how important this show was for me. My little sister grew up with Joe and she had the same relationship with him that I had with Steve. I think it’ll be really beautiful to bring the show back with a new host for a new audience.
And also, pocket world puppet Blue was pretty rad. Just saying.
I grew up with the show mostly with Joe because when Steve left the show, I was a baby (since I was around 1 at the time and of course I didn’t watch Blues Clues until I was around 4 or 5) and Joe mostly was the host when I had the time with the show so I can relate with your sister
@@moonbased7796 you poor man
I was born in 2002, the year Steve left, but I watched all the episodes of Steve as reruns. When I first saw the episode where he left, I was devastated. But I got a mix of Joe and Steve episodes as a child, whatever they aired that day was what I watched. Yet somehow, every episode without Steve was just heartbreaking. You could feel the shift, it wasn't the same. I almost burst out into tears watching this too many times.
@@mountaindew9921 I’m actually a non binary person and secondly I don’t think Joe was bad. Yeah sure Steve was better in my opinion but I really did like Joe since I grew up with Joe more than I did with Steve so I’m not sure why you are calling me a poor guy? 🙄
@@moonbased7796 i get what you mean, i said you where a poor guy because i thought steve was a great host and that you missed out by not growing up with him as a host, but i get what you mean i can see how you like joe too
Maybe the real Blues Clues is the friends we made along the way.
Your not wrong, 😭
Stop, I don't wanna cry
They really were.
*sad salute*
Slept with*
I was no longer watching the show by the time Steve left, so until I heard about the Twitter video I didn't know that they actually explained him leaving. I really appreciate that they respected the audience enough to give an explanation and devote an episode to saying goodbye, instead of pretending nothing had changed and the new guy was still Steve. Not only is it more honest, it's an early lesson that things change and nothing stays the same forever.
I miss Steve, he was great. My cousin and I once sat down and watched a new episode of blues clues and just thought of why Steve left and now I know, thank you
I remember having a huge crush on Steve when I was little. I cried so much when he left the show. It's weird how you can connect with someone without ever meeting them.
till you grow up and come to understand you never knew these people so how could you connect with them in any way other then a childish memory of the past. dont get me wrong grew up with the show too but its a show not an actual person to make a connection with. this hole comment section makes me chuckle beyond belief.
There a replacement named josh
That's why the term parasocial relationship exists.
It's also why Twitch is a thing.
@@Caydiem yeah never experienced that, guess i live in reality.
@@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.
Man, my stomach dropped when he first showed the part where they figured out the clues made a handy dandy notebook. Childhood sadness was reborn from this video
It really shows how impactful this show was when 20 years later I still remember most of these episodes.
Steve has no idea that he was my best friend for so long. He still is 🥺
Same here I know exactly how even you feel that I loved & miss the old Steve from back in the days when Blues Clues was a great Kids Show 🥺😭😩❤️📺🐶🔵
