An intro is an important way of getting audiences excited for a piece of media. Over the years, the Blue's Clues franchise has had four unique intros. I will be ranking the intros from least favorite to favorite. Some seasons mildly tweaked the intros, but I'm only ranking the intros that are distinctly different from each other.
4. The first intro of the original series (used for the first four seasons of the original series)
Unlike the other intros, this intro doesn't have a song. The intro begins with a book that opens up to reveal the storybook world that Blue's Clues takes place in. The intro has Steve asking the audience if they see Blue. After the audience sees Blue, Blue goes inside. It's a cute little intro, but it isn't as ambitious as the other intros. Steve is a fantastic singer, so it's a shame that they didn't have him sing a theme song.
3. Blue's Room intro
Blue's Room is the Blue's Clues show where Blue can talk, so in that show's intro, she gets to sing to the audience. Her song is cute and catchy. The intro does a good job of establishing the fact that Blue's Room takes the Blue's Clues franchise in a much different direction. The intros for both seasons are pretty similar, but the second season adds Joe and Blue's brother, Sprinkles, to the intro.
2. Blue's Clues & You! intro
So far, Blue's Clues & You! has had the same intro for each episode other than mildly changing the look for holiday episodes. The intro has Josh singing the theme song. He sings to the audience to help him find Blue. It's an extremely catchy song that helps set the mood for the series. Josh is a fantastic singer who expresses the upbeat and fun tone of the series with his great performance in the intro.
1. The second intro of the original series (used in the fifth and sixth seasons of the original series)
Blue's Clues got a new host, so having a new intro made sense. This intro changed things up by having a theme song. In the theme song, Joe sings to the audience about clues. While he's asking them if they see a clue, Blue opens up a book and goes inside of it. After Blue arrives in the storybook world, Joe and the supporting characters sing to the audience. This is followed up by Mr. Salt reading the name of the episode to us. The theme song is incredibly catchy and fun. Joe is actually the only one of the human hosts to appear in two distinct intros for Blue's Clues. However, Blue was the one who did the singing in the Blue's Room intro, so the second intro of the original series is the only one that Joe sang in. Joe's great voice gives the song a lot of upbeat energy. It's a wonderful intro that I enjoy revisiting over and over again.
