Well, I thought I had figured out Blue's Clues. Up until last Wednesday, I thought Blue was a boy puppy. Apparently, I've been wrong ever since the show was created - Blue is really a girl puppy.* Now, I'm not stupid, and seeing how dogs don't really talk - even though salt and pepper shakers do - I'm hard pressed to find any clues indicating the Blue is anything other than a boy dog. I mean, she's blue, the stereotypical color for boys. Other than that, I supposed she's pretty androgynous, so her sex isn't really an important factor in the show.
Although I applaud the color switch so that she's not pink, I really don't think that little girls or boys get the switch. If she was pink, could she really be smart enough to help Steve solve those wicked puzzles with just three measly clues? I think Nick Jr. took a helpful hint from Velma and didn't make the girl so nerdy, they just made her look like a boy.
