Who's that guy in the green rugby shirts who prompts you child to call out to the TV?  Child went straight to the set of Blue's Clues to find out more about the real "Steve"? Steve Burns

Why so you think Blue's Clues is such a success?

We speak to kids like kids, but we have some very groundnut motives. We're trying to educate them. Children don't just watch Blue's Clues, they play it.

Why do you think children find Steve so appealing?

He needs their help to do the show, and that's pretty cool. They're doing him a favor. And hopefully, I make them laugh, too.

What would you like parents to know about he show?

It's okay if their kids are standing, jumping up and down, dancing, or waving at the TV Screen - that's a positive thing. Blue's Clues is not just an entertainment show, it's really teaching things like cognitive thinking.  That's why one episode airs five times a week. Repetition is the key to mastery for young kids.

Speaking of repetition, do you think Steve will ever change his shirt?
