This is the begining of Blue's Clues. Without Steve. According to the rest of the article, tonight will mark the end of Steve's era. He will now be going to college. In his place will be his little brother, played by Donovan Patton.

Donovan will sport a greater assortment of clothing (to prevent children from insisting on wearing the same shirt every day, as Steve did in the past). Donovan will also "[face] the challanges of performing in an empty, blue-walled studio, interacting with young viewers he can't actually hear and a cartoon dog who doesn't actually exist".

I know that if I were younger I would be excited. Blue's Clues is actually is a good show developmentally in that there is audience interaction. If I were just learning how to count, and if I were just learning my colors, and if I were home in the morning to watch Nick Jr., I know I would be bouncing off the wall, begging my mom to let me watch this show every day.

"We just figured out Blue's clues, we just figured out Blue's clues, we just figured out Blue's clues, because we're really smart!"
