Multisyllabic words and reference volumes pique Blue's interest in this double episode focusing on vocabulary and books. But the inquisitive blue dog and her preschool audience have the effervescent Steve, a talking end table, and silent signing librarian Marlee Matlin to help them through this wordy lesson. In "Words," Steve and his pet plow through their Big Bag of Words, coming up with contrasts like enormous and miniscule. Blue has sorted the pair's books into categories in "Blue's Book Nook," and she generously loans out her tomes to the neighborhood animals. But it takes a trip to the library to figure out which book she wants to read. This 50-minute p...

Two episodes from the popular Nickelodeon Jr. show explore musical themes. In "Blue Wants to Play a Song Game," our intrepid Steve uncovers Blue's clues for what song she wants to play. Several nursery rhyme songs are featured along with examples of music in nature. The latter theme is explored further in "Music in a Everyday Way." Music is discovered in jars of water, sticks on the floor, and animal sounds. Even the thinking chair becomes a musical instrument. The sound and rhyme matching will make this video hold up to repeated plays quite well. --Doug Thomas

This is the Lovejoy we've come to fear and love. This fourth season episode finds the quick-thinking rascal broke, despondent, and uncharacteristically bored with antiques, but he suddenly comes to life when he plots an old-fashioned auction scam. Whetting his appetite by conning a naive young antique dealer (for a little operating cash), he proceeds to gather a group of retired pros to run a variation of an auction ring, but when a snag threatens the plan he pulls Lady Jane into the "only slightly illegal" scheme as an unwittingly accomplice. Lovejoy has always been at his best with his back against the wall and Ian McShane rises to the occasion with one of his most spir...

The first episode of the third season finds the irascible antique hunter and scam artist Lovejoy (Ian McShane) returning home six months after the windfall from his biggest commission ever. The money's gone, spent on ill-advised schemes, high living, and a flat for his daughter, but like a cat he lands on his feet, even inheriting a friend's country villa for an open-ended housesitting gig. Quickly putting his loyal team back together and reconnecting with gal pal Lady Jane Felsham (Phyllis Logan), he finds himself pulled into a dangerous plot involving a possibly invaluable ancient Incan gold ring, a desperate South American government official, Jane's alluring aristocra...

How do Blue and Steve keep track of their busy schedule? When Steve and Blue are anticipating a big surprise in "Blue's Surprise at Two o'clock," the pair plays Blue's Clues to help the time pass more quickly and learns all about the minute and second hand in the process. "What Time Is It for Blue" explores the concepts of time and patterning as Steve and Blue try to remember what follows clean-up time in their daily routine. This program covers the basics of telling time and helps children understand how time helps order life. Especially effective is Steve's illustration of relative time: 15 seconds pass in a flash when Steve and Blue try to solve a puzzle...

Lovejoy's independent-minded daughter Vicki (Amelia Shankley) finds an 18th-century Scottish commemorative sword in her attic and puts it up for auction, inadvertently bidding up her own dad. Lovejoy is about to chalk it up to experience when a Scot named Kinloch (Edward Hardwicke) offers him more than double the value, which only sets his opportunistic mind whirling with possibilities. After a series of robbery attempts Lovejoy decides to investigate Kinloch and witnesses a bizarre dinnertime ritual at his palatial estate. The episode rings with offbeat humor and irony as fate takes an even stronger hand than Lovejoy in the final revelations of the sword's secrets. --...

Young women in strict Muslim households used to send their pledges of love to young men through messages woven through the knots of a carpet in an Arab tradition that continues to this day, explains a dryly intoning narrator. "What, you may ask, has this to do with Lovejoy?" Plenty, as it turns out, when he agrees to sell an Anatolian carpet for Lady Jane and winds up sniffing out a plot when the bidding war over a seemingly ordinary Berber rug is followed by that carpet's theft. Lovejoy shows that for a rascal he too has a heart. While he seems to lose money every time he turns around in this episode, he becomes Cupid to one young lover, a guardian angel to a high-spirit...

This 1987 Canadian offering based on a true story seeks to offend and to provoke its audience as it dissects the sordid last days of a middle-aged feminist bent on self-destruction. Writer-director Jackie Burroughs plays Marsie Holder, a woman wasting away in Mexico and engaging in sexual trysts with the men she encounters. Bouts of alcoholism and illness shape her days and anonymous sexual encounters frame her nights. Through it all she analyzes her place in the world and pontificates on the role of women through her voluminous correspondence, even as she wastes away in the Acapulco sun and slides downward into an eventually fatal abyss. Shot in a harsh verité st...

Steve attaches a bow tie to his famed Rugby shirt and--voilá!--his and Blue's house is a small restaurant serving cheese sandwiches and spaghetti. But the chef team of Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper are missing the ingredients for spaghetti sauce and, of course, that is what all four customers order. So Steve and Blue jump into a grocery store picture to shop for the makings and gather clues for Blue's favorite dessert in the process. The food theme continues in the second episode, "Snacktime," as Steve tries to figure out what his dog wants to drink with her food. Kid viewers learn shapes while putting away groceries and visit a felt farm-scene where they are asked t...

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 a...
