Doesn't have a point of view

blue's room
Today, I turned on my tv to what might be my greatest nightmare come true. Okay, not really. I was flipping through the channels and was happy to see that my beloved Blue's Clues was on, so I tuned in. What did I find but a puppet version of Blue-- a TALKING puppet version of Blue. I just about fell over. It was if Blue's Clues had turned into all things that characterize bad shows for toddlers. First of all, Blue is now a puppet, second of all, she has an odd variety of puppet friends including a roaring orange dinosar, a doodle board which cleverly says doodle doodle as it draws, a jukebox which sings boogie woogie, and a talking dress-up chest. Eek. The worst part is the whole plot line of Blue being born with a gold key to the special room which she now discovered. What happened to good writing like the praised tranisition between Steve and Joe?
By some happy coincidence, I received a birthday present from Sharon in the mail today. She gave me a blue's clues notebook (which I have always wanted). It is from this new show instead of the regular series. Despite this fact, it still made me extremely happy. She also sent me play-dough and the neatest card I have ever seen. I'll post a photo of it later. Thanks Sharon!
On a positive Blue's Clues note, I found these nice little music videos featuring Blue and real musicians. Here's the one with India Arie.
