Blue's Clues: Blue's Biggest Stories

Only One New Story, But Still a Cool DVD
"Blue's Biggest Stories" is a compilation DVD release designed to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the program. It contains a mix of Steve and Joe "Blue's Clues" stories and a bit of "Blue's Room" as well.

"Magenta Gets Glasses" is the only episode on here that hasn't been released before on DVD. It's a pretty neat story. In this one, Blue's best friend Magenta learns that she has to get glasses. She's nervous both about getting them and then about wearing them, but with our help, Steve, Blue and her owner Miranda help her to get over her fears.

This DVD comes with "Blue's Memory Photos" --- a brief photo album of some major moments from the series. It also comes with a couple of "Blue's Room" short-segments that are actually pretty good. Also included inside is a note from show creators Angela C. Santomero and Traci Paige Johnson.

The other episodes included on this DVD are as follows:

"Blue's Birthday"

In this Steve episode,...

An excellent collection of past Blue's Clues episodes
Both of my boys (age 4 and 16 mos.) are big Blue's Clues fans. This DVD has some of their favorites all together in one place. It includes:

1. Blue's Birthday (my first son's all-time favorite)

2. Treasure Hunt

3. Blue's Pajama Party

4. Magenta Gets Glasses

5. Steve Goes to College (introduces Joe, the second host)

6. Blue Takes you to School

7. The Legend of the Blue Puppy

8. Blue's Room Snacktime Play Date (we are not a big fan of Blue's Room, but at least there is only one episode here)

This is a great value for the $$ and an excellent introduction for new Blue's Clue's fans!

At least half good, but why no SEASON sets?
Hey, I'm not going to start a Steve vs. Joe argument, but I just think that many of the early shows are classics and many of the later ones aren't. This disc illustrates my point well. However, the later shows have the disadvantage of being compared to the earlier ones, although they are still better than half the kids shows on now.

My 7-year old son learned so much from BC, and it continues to educate. In fact there are several kids shows out there that have based their "interactive" format on this show (Little Einsteins, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, etc). Maybe it's because I've been watching it so long (now with twin 2-year old daughters who love it also) that I see it wearing thin.

With the 10th anniversary having come and gone, WHY haven't these episodes been released in season box sets? Has anyone heard if this is planned? It would make more sense than single discs...

I still love BC, and I appreciate all the enjoyment it has given my kids and...
