The Viewer is a character of Blue's Clues, Blue's Room, and Blue's Clues & You!, situated and addressed to as a part of the fourth wall. On occasion the viewers are classified as the voice of several children (usually listed as "Steve's Friends" in the credits), even when the audience watching at home don't actually interact with the onscreen characters vocally. Steve and Joe, among other characters, talk to the viewer/s throughout most episodes through the screen (or the fourth wall.)
The viewer/viewers are considered the most important character of Blue's Clues.
