Blue's Clues

Storyline
Blue's Clues is a show where the two main characters are Blue and Steve (1996-2002), and later episodes, Joe (2002-2006). Blue is a dog who always wants to do something but Steve never knows what. Steve interacts with the viewers through the television and they play Blue's Clues to see what Blue wants to do.

Description
The show mainly uses sound effects from The General Series 6000 Sound Effects Library along with a few H-B/Series 4000 sounds and one Series 1000 sound that were only heard in a few episodes. It also uses a few sounds from the Hollywood Edge.
