This DVD contains four episodes previously released on two VHS tapes, plus the never-released prime time special "100th Anniversary Episode."

Meet Joe!
Steve's younger, and much taller brother is introduced in this pair of episodes, preparing the kids for Joe's eventual taking over of the franchise as Steve heads off to college. (And star-coproducer Steven Burns leaves the blue screen behind for the bright lights of Hollywood.) In "Joe's First Day," Steve follows the clues to find out what Joe (Donovan Patton) will bring for show-and-tell. In "Joe Gets a Clue," the passing of the baton begins as Joe learns the significance of a blue paw print, goes on his first skidoo, and is presented with his very own handy-dandy notebook by Blue. Much is made of the fact that the new notebook is shaped like the thinking chair; look for one in a store near you. Will the kids like Joe as much as their old buddy Steve? Well, Joe's got a different green shirt and more hair, but the same infectious enthusiasm. --Kimberly Heinrichs

It's Joe Time!
After hosting nearly 100 episodes of Blue's Clues, Steve is off to college. That means it's Joe time! Steve's affable younger brother Joe prepares to carry the torch--and the handy dandy notebook--that Clue Master Steve so skillfully carried for years. In episode one, Blue leads Joe on a merry chase to determine what she wants Steve to pack for college. Skidooing to an artfully drawn campus, choosing school subjects, and saying goodbye to a dear friend may well raise more questions and emotions than typical episodes. To their credit, Blue and friends bid a cheerful, tearless farewell and adjust perfectly to smilin' Joe. By the second episode, the new host and his entourage create their own "Big Book About Us," discussing favorite colors, shapes, animals, and more. As always, interaction with the 1- to 5-year-old audience coupled with simple, joyfully presented lessons make for 50 minutes of pure educational pleasure. --Liane Thomas

4.0 out of 5 stars 100th Episode Party a Bit Different, October 11, 2002

By	Debra J. Hiltner (Winfield, Illinois United States) - See all my reviews

This DVD is not out in stores yet, but I have seen all the episodes in here and are going to focus on one...The Big Book About Us is a good episode for your kids to learn about favorites, learn some of Joe's favorite things, and learn a little bit about bookmaking. Then we come to the 100th Day episode. This episode mostly takes place on a stage built in the back of Joe's living room. It contains a very bouncy song entitled "100 Days" and creates the feeling for your kids that they are at a very big gala party, complete with montages of snippets of episodes (some of which, to my knowledge, haven't been released yet- maybe they all will be by the time this DVD is released) The only problem here is that if you're hoping for a usual Blue's Clues episode, you aren't getting it. There is no game of Blue's Clues, none of the songs from the new show are played except for "We Sat On Down" during a montage, and there is even a misleading part where Mr. Salt asks Blue what her favorite part has been about the first 100 episodes, and she places a pawprint on the screen. Is it time for a game of Blue's Clues? No, just a montage of clues that have been found already. This episode is a good way for your child to remember all the fun he's had, but if he doesn't understand the concept of 100 days, skip it.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm getting fond of Joe, January 13, 2004

By	Alexandra Uribe (Mexico) - See all my reviews

I was nervous when it was anounced that Steve was leaving but, true to form, the folks at Nick Jr. conjured up a wonderful transition from Steve to Joe. Make sure to watch the 100th episode celebration in the extra featues. My kids (2 and 4) love it. Even though my 4 year old had been watching Steve for two years, she now loves Joe.

5.0 out of 5 stars My son loves this DVD!, July 21, 2008

By	Bladen's Mommy (Memphis, TN) - See all my reviews

I love this dvd because it tells the story of how Joe came to live with Blue. It also explains the reason for Steve's departure in a manner that young children can understand. It actually makes it ok. My son didn't start watching Blues Clues until 2008, so Joe was already the main character, but he was finding it odd to see Steve on re-run episodes, so this helped him understand it all. Now he loves them both! So, if your child thinks it's odd to see Blues Clues episodes with Joe or Steve, this dvd should help them appreciate both characters. I hope this review helps.
