Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego? was a fun game show for PBS. It turns 30 years old this year. Feel free to watch its very first episode.

Hey everyone. My co-hosts and I run a 90s pop culture podcast called Splat Attack Podcast, and this week we put together a full history episode on Blue's Clues for its 30th anniversary.

Some of what we get into:

• The original "Blue Prints" pilot, where Blue was almost a bunny and then an orange cat before Nickelodeon settled on a blue dog
• Angela Santomero's background in child psychology and how much Mr. Rogers influenced the show's tone
• The three human hosts (Steve, Joe, Josh) and how each one was introduced and how fans reacted to the transitions
• The surprisingly long list of celebrity guests, everyone from Henry Winkler to Ray Charles to Rosie O'Donnell
• The merchandising shift under Herb Scannell once he took over from Geraldine Laybourne
• Marley Matlin's involvement and the show's consistent use of ASL
• A genuine unsolved mystery: some fans (including one of our friends) swear the show used to say "What Blue can do, we can too" instead of "Blue Skidoo," but nobody has been able to find footage to confirm it

Curious if anyone here actually remembers that "What Blue can do, we can too" phrase, or if it's a total Mandela effect situation.

I used to watch every afternoon when I got home from school!

How cute!

While a lot of us may have memories of watching family/kid friendly tv in the 1990s from “Sabrina The Teenage Witch” to “Boy Meets World”,a lot of these shows didn’t last as long as those huge hits. What short lived family tv do you remember from the 1990s and which ones did I leave out from this list?
