“With Blue’s Clues, Nickelodeon launched what became TV’s first
generation of interactivity for preschoolers and set the bar for
quality, curriculum-driven shows we have made since,” said Cyma
Zarghami, President, Nickelodeon Group. “The new, modern version of
Blue’s Clues will capture all the original’s creativity and visual
identity for a whole new audience ready for its fun adventures and
expertly designed problem-solving curriculum.”
The new Blue’s Clues series centers on the energetic girl puppy
Blue who invites viewers into her animated world to help solve the
day’s puzzles with the help of a live-action host. Preschoolers are
encouraged to interact with the action on-screen by answering
questions, pointing out clues, jumping on their feet and playing
along.
The original Blue’s Clues series launched in September 1996 to
critical praise from educators, parents and preschoolers and ran
for six groundbreaking seasons. Created by Traci Paige Johnson,
Todd Kessler and Angela C. Santomero, Blue’s Clues drew acclaim and
high ratings for its unique interactivity that helped change the
way kids watch television and has remained one of the most popular
preschool shows of all time. The landmark series also raised the
bar in preschool television by exploring advanced subject matter
such as sign language, geography, physics, emotions and
anatomy.
The classic Blue’s Clues library is currently available on
NOGGIN, Nickelodeon’s video subscription service for preschoolers,
and short-form content can be found on the Nick Jr. App and
NickJr.com.
