If you are a parent of young kids, you know Blues Clues. And if you are a parent of a kid older than 2, you remember Steve. Many of us who got on the Blues Clues bandwagon early were just as fascinated with the show’s host, Steve, as we were the show itself. And few of us in that category feel that the new host, Joe, can hold a candle to Steve. If you know the show, then you know what I mean. If you don’t, I can’t explain. Anyway, as Blues Clues aired on CBS this morning in its third format now where Blue talks in the form of a big puppet, I was lamenting about the good ole days of Blues Clues in its prime, and got to wondering what became of Steve. So I did what I always do when I wonder about stuff like that, I plugged Steve’s name into Google and found his website. I was so glad I did. I find Steve Burns’ real life character to be just as delightful as on Blues Clues, and his website kept me in stitches. I particularly enjoyed the “spoof” science report on whether or not Steve’s new rock/grunge album is appropriate for kids. It is well worth the read.

Posted by: RobU at Enero 17, 2005 10:41 AMYes, I listened to clips from the album and was surprised to find that I really liked it. I was also pleased to discover that he has the Thinking Chair in his bedroom. I was happy to know that Steve didn't leave BC because he was unhappy and looks back at that period of his life with great fondness. It was just time to move on. He'd been talking to kids in front of a blue screen for six years. He wanted to make sure he remembered how to be an adult. I can understand that.

I plan on my grandkids calling me Imma (pron eema). It's Hebrew for mother.
Plan all you want, sistuh, but realize I plan on influencing all I can. . .

Posted by: emily at Agosto 18, 2007 03:25 AMSteve is not in fact in a rock band he is dead and his body is in my basement decaying slowly biatch
Posted by: Dogg at Octubre 3, 2007 02:20 PMI remember when my kid saw that Steve left and that Joe took over the show, she wasn't too happy about that. What really disappoints me is that he went into rehab, what a shame for him. Well i guess that how all stars turn out these days...drugs and rehab...

steve is my dad, and he did not die, he did not get busted for drugs. he joined a band called the cheetah girls and later decided to drop out and voice over for the little fat mexican gilr dora the explorer. i have 7 and a half kids and they miss ol grampa steve on every morning. i wish he would come back.
but hes fine and happy with his wifemy mommy" and his child, ME!
lol.' just joking. he died.
i drugged his brains out backstage after the last one. and i farted in his mouth.
this is Steve. i command all of you to bow before me, for i am the god of blue! and yes i am dead still in college and shooting dope while i play my guitar. Steve is my name and i have come for all of your soles. look into the deep abyss of my eyes and pray you don't get a letter
