Blue's Room

Blue's Room is an American children's live-action puppet show based on the animated Nick Jr. series Blue's Clues. It was created as a series of shorts in 2003 and shown at the end of the Blue's Clues on Nickelodeon in 2004, beginning with the sixth season premiere "Legend of the Blue Puppy". It later became a spin-off series, running from August 10, 2004 to March 29, 2007.

Plot
Moona grants Blue a special wish–a new place where she can talk and make new friends. In Blue's Room, Blue does various activities with her new playmates Roary the Dinosaur, Frederica (Fred for short), Dress-Up Chest, Doodle Board, and Polka Dots, among others.

Why It Is Mixed

 * Fans of the original are split over this series, mainly due to Blue suddenly having the ability to talk and whether it was a good thing or not. However, the audience who watched it in the mid-2000s has tended to fondly look back on it and find it good on its own merits in recent years. Overall, the show was unable to match the success of its parent show Blue's Clues, only lasting for two seasons over 2 ½ years.

Why This Room Should Be Closed

 * 1) The show suffers from several clichés and focuses on terribly-written episodes that have already been done in other kids' programs:
 * 2) *Unlike the original series, this spin-off doesn't have a single good episode. Every episode in the show has many signs of being terribly-written.
 * 3) **“Snacktime Playdate” was a rehash of a Blue’s Clues episode “Snack Time”.
 * 4) **"Fred's Birthday" ends with Blue and her friends having a dance party, which has already been done before and makes it rather cliché.
 * 5) **The plot of "Hug Day" has already been done in other kids' programs, which makes the episode rather cliché.
 * 6) **"Beyond Your Wildest Dreams" has the "use your imagination" cliché.
 * 7) **There is an episode about the alphabet, and this is another cliché as many other kids' programs have episodes about the alphabet.
 * 8) Executive Meddling: In Blue's Clues, Blue doesn't talk and just barks, which makes her cute and lovable. This show gives her the ability to talk, which ruins the fun and defeats the purpose of Blue's Clues because the way everybody understood Blue, despite her only barking, made her cute and likable. In Blue's Room, she talks way too much nonstop. This is far from the Blue we all know and love.
 * 9) Troubled Production: It was initially a segment placed at the end of the final season of Blue's Clues. It also caused several unnecessary changes to be made to the series because of this.
 * 10) Much like mh:terribletvshows:Barney & Friends (Modern HiT era, Seasons 9-14) and mh:terribletvshows:Dora the Explorer (Seasons 5-8), the show is basically nothing but sunshine and happiness to the point where it may get somewhat repetitive, unlike Blue's Clues (which was done in a much more tasteful manner).
 * 11) It was pretty much the reason why the Blue's Clues franchise almost died, as it went on an 11-year hiatus after the show's cancellation in 2007.
 * 12) Poor/Mediocre characterization:
 * 13) *Blue was flanderized in her show, as she's become a generic blue puppy who talks a lot.
 * 14) *Roary the Dinosaur (a dinosaur who likes to practice roaring) only has one trait, which is roaring really loudly. His roars sound like Tarzan yelling and his voice is annoying.
 * 15) *Polka Dots (one of Blue's best friend and the co-host of the show). Like Roary, he is overly talkative and obnoxiously loud.
 * 16) *Fred/Frederica is one of Blue's other best friends. She has a tendency to pretend that it's her birthday, which gets annoying and tiresome fast.
 * 17) *Moona is a green and blue-colored fairy made of crescent shapes who appears at the end of each segment and episode. While she's tolerable, she can be annoying sometimes, since she usually does nothing other than saying "Time to go, Blue!"
 * 18) *Silly Seat is a chair who tells silly jokes, crazy riddles, and other funny things. He is a laughable sofa who does nothing but tell "knock-knock" and "what do you call?" jokes to make others laugh. Fortunately, he disappeared from the cast in the second season.
 * 19) *Doodle board is an easel who doodles and draws to tell the viewer to guess what the object is. He says "A Doodle, Doodle, Doodle" three times until he says "Guess", which can get very irritating.
 * 20) *Boogie Woogie is a jukebox who is obsessed with singing and dancing.
 * 21) *Sprinkles (introduced in Season 2) is Blue's baby brother who has rainbow spots. He also lacks any flaws, which makes him a Gary Stu. He was the new host in the second season's premiere, Sprinkles is a somewhat shy spotted puppy.
 * 22) *Joe (Blue's human caretaker introduced in "Holiday Wishes" before becoming a main character in Season 2), while way more tolerable than in the original show most of the time, cries over losing his dragons in "Knights of the Snack Table". This makes him unlikable in the episode since what he did isn't even a big deal. It also makes him even more immature than he was in Seasons 5 and 6 of the original.
 * 23) Steve never appeared in the series, which is disappointing to everyone who grew up with his episodes of Blue's Clues. It doesn't help that he headed out for college in "Steve Goes to College".
 * 24) Unfitting soundtrack, including the theme song and credits music.

Good Qualities

 * 1) Cute puppet designs.
 * 2) Good puppetry.
 * 3) They encourage kids to use their imagination.
 * 4) Decent voice acting from Victoria Pontecorvo and Jared Goldsmith.
 * 5) Some characters from the original series (besides Blue) appears in this spin-off as one time guests, and are still likable such as:
 * 6) *Handy Dandy Journal
 * 7) *Dictionary
 * 8) *Key
 * 9) *Moona
 * 10) *Joe (who guest appeared in Season 1's "Holiday Wishes", and became a main character in Season 2)
 * 11) *The rest from here on out guest appeared in Season 2's "Meet Blue's Baby Brother":
 * 12) **Mailbox
 * 13) **Mr. Salt
 * 14) **Mrs. Pepper
 * 15) **Paprika
 * 16) **Cinnamon
 * 17) **Shovel
 * 18) **Pail
 * 19) Blue is still cute, despite being flanderized.

Trivia

 * After a year of production in October 2003, the series premiered on February 8, 2004 as a segment of the original show. The series also premiered on August 10, 2004 as a show on Nickelodeon as part of the Nick Jr. block.
 * Blue was puppeteered by Muppet performer Leslie Carrara-Rudolph, with Canadian voice actress Victoria Pontecorvo dubbing over her lines.

Me: Hey, why do not we add Chowder to this wiki because I really despise and loathe this show and I think it should go on this wiki!

Marx The Grouch:, it has 4.9/10 on IMDb but received well reception from audiences but negative reception from critics so IDK.

Me: just because of the reception do you have to add pages to this wiki!

Okay, let's just add it to the Greatest Shows Wiki because of the positive reception from audiences and Bad Tv shows Wiki because of the negative reception from critics.

Me:BRUH!
