Attention Thinking Blog Award Bestowers! This is the Post for You...
I mentioned in yesterday's post that my writing doesn't fit in the genre of "thinking blog." Please accept the following crap as evidence.
I've made it no secret that I enjoy the children's program Blue's Clues. My favorite, and I believe most people's favorite host is Steve. It was a sad, sad day when Steve went off to college and was replaced by creepy Joe. Peanut is happy to watch Blue's Clues, as well, although he is oblivious to whether the host of the show is Steve or creepy Joe.
Have any of you watched the newer spin-off of Blue's Clues, Blue's Room? Well, to put it mildly, this show is the biggest piece of shit show ever produced. It's horrible. It's mind numbing. It's the worst show on TV, next to CSI: Miami with that vomit-inducing David Caruso.
The producers, writers, and directors of this show should be ashamed of themselves and possibly even jailed on charges of criminal negligence. The character of Blue, who can now talk thanks to this horrendous show, is so irritating. Worse is the character of Sprinkles, Blue's baby brother. I feel like severing my auditory nerve every time I hear his whiny little voice. And creepy Joe? He must be mortified to walk around in public. His part in the show, as a supporting actor to PUPPETS, must haunt him.
I certainly wouldn't want to offend any children who actually are fans of this show. Peanut is not a fan of the show as I've learned now for several mornings in a row. Nick Jr. has been playing new episodes (the horror!) at 9am, when I shower. Usually, he sits quietly in his pack-n-play while I shower. The past several mornings I've heard him crying while I was in the shower. I blame you damn Blue's Room for my abbreviated showering routine (I'm shaking my fist and scowling angrily).
As for the title of this blog, please understand that I'm making fun of myself for feeling the need to blog about a most inane subject. Most of my post subjects are inane, but I've reached an all-time low here. Thinking blogger, I am not.

All Hail the non-thinking bloggers! I try to take very little seriously...including my blog. In fact, I was thinking, deep and hard, of blogging on being serious. ha! You beat me to it!
Non-thinking blogs are great too! After all, thinking is highly overrated.
Would you still respect me in the morning if I told you I'd do Joe in a heartbeat?
i have to agree--a lil embarrassed that i even know about all these characters, but i have never been a fan of all the new Blues stuff. I have probably 20 BC VHS tapes handed down to me from my sister's kids---it's all the OLDie but goodie stuff w/ Steve and unfortunately there is nothing else better. Do you have trouble finding BC toys too? That always bugs me,Dora/Diego are everywhere but not much Blue anymore! what's the deal?
It has been many years since I was forced to watch Blues Clues but not too long ago I was flipping through the channels and the remote batteries went dead just as the channel landed on Blue Clues. Since we didn't have any batteries in the house, I had to watch it until the kids found another electronic device that used AAAs and you are absolutely correct, Joe is creepy!
I bet the following shows could give Blue's Room a run for it's money (in the crap show category):
Daniel Cook
Johnny and the Sprites
The Big Comfy Couch
I'm sure I will think of many, many more.
Love it. I really think that someone create an award for the "non-thinking blogger" or maybe the "is there anything up there?" post...
speaking of TV shows that suck... I have to nominate Backyardigans. I HATE that show! (and I totally agree about Blues Room)
Yes!
Someone else that wants to kick that guy on CSI:Miami in the teeth as bad as I do! I don't know what it is about him that rubs me the wrong way...
Blue...talks? Blue has a baby brother? I hate this WHOLE IDEA.
Ok- been out of this 'scene' for about 6 months since Luke started school. A NEW Blue's show? No way! I miss Steve to . Joe just doesn't 'do' it right.
Personally, I enjoyed your 'crap'! Come over one day and enjoy mine!
First of all... I had to share this
www.cafepress.com/buy/blues+clues/-/pv_design_details/pg_1/id_8981337/opt_/fpt_/c_360/
I thought that was just too funny, since I am definately a member of the pro-Steve camp. Nothing to do with Blues clues... but have you heard Steve's cd? Not bad... http://www.steveswebpage.com/SongsForDustMites
And his web site is pretty funny, too.
And finally, I have to say, David Caruso on CSI:Miami... I just really can't stand that pose he does. You know... where he turns to the side and tilts his head. Hate that!!!! I'll take Gil in Vegas over Horatio in Miami anyday.
See... you've got us all thinking. Does that make it count as a thinking blog?
Ed's girl, No! I can't find BC toys, only Blue's Room toys, they SUCK.
Sara, I don't know if we can still be friends.
Lane, I need to google Daniel Cook and Johnny and the Sprites...
Aaron/Colleen, I REALLY hate David Caruso. He COMPLETELY FREAKS ME OUT. EEEEW!
Colleen, you've made my day! I LOVE those shirts! And, yes, I know Steve has an album and I plan on ordering it. I love his website, Swistle directed me to it a while ago-hilarious!!!!
Blue's Room does blow - I totally agree. We watch Blue's Clues daily around here...Why do you think Joe is creepy? Well, he does have a weird smile, but other than that he seems ok - Steve, ugh, I'm not a big Steve fan. The one where they found Sprinkles (the "movie") was pretty lame and I was disappointed....oh well....
Rebecca, I can't put my finger on why I don't like Joe. He's seems "dumb" where as Steve seemed curious.
Count me in as a member of Team Steve!
But I have a nomination for a show that is EVEN WORSE than Blue's Room. Ready? Caillou.
I can't even hear it starting without wanting to cringe and run out of the room. That whiny voice hurts my ears.
I'm kinda ambivalent about Blue's Clue's these days. My boyz can take it or leave it. But I CANNOT STAND The Upside Down Show (I just don't get it) and Oobi creeps me out. Maybe it's just the hairy knuckles. And I agree with Elizabeth--I want to smack Caillou.
Elizabeth and Sarah, Don't even get me started on Caillou! First of all, why doesn't he have hair when his BABY sister Rosie has a whole head of it?! And! He whines so much!!!!!
I kinda like the Upside Down Show, it's got some clever humor.
oh, you comment about 'creepy joe' was toooo funny!! I felt the same way! my husband tho, prefers joe...
great post!
I'm here via Absolutely Bananas. I loved this post! Someone should make a non-thinking blogger button or award graphic.
I loved Steve. I do not like Joe.
I refuse to watch the new Wiggles with the new guy because no one can replace Greg in my mind.
I've been watching this stuff for 16 years now. That's what you get for having your kids really spread out. My oldest will be driving soon and my youngest isn't even potty-trained yet. OY!!! No wonder I can't think!
I rank Blue's Room right down there with Oobie.
I so totally agree!! Joe is just so *not* ... good.
And I totally agree with your assessment of that whinyass sprinkles - and WHY would they make Blue talk... for that matter, why is Blue A GIRL?
Nothing makes sense anymore.
Those boys that have hosted Blues Clues are worse than Ken Dolls. Neutered creepos....
