"What Story Does Blue Want to Play?" a Blue's Clues episode from the first season. It is the sixteenth episode to be produced, the twenty-seventh to be released, and the thirtieth to be aired.

For an unknown reason in the United States, it was not released on TV until October 9, 1998. It was also released on VHS on June 9, 1998, 4 months ahead of its release. It was released in regions such as the United Kingdom and Australia before the United States release. It was released in Australia on February 24, 1997, and in the United Kingdom on July 3, 1998.

Trivia

  • This is the only Season One episode to air in 1998, even though it was taped in 1996, it took about two years until it finally aired.

    • Hansel and Gretel, Little Red Riding Hood (the wolf's story), The Three Little Pigs
    • Hey Diddle Diddle, The Princess, and the Pea, Jack and the Beanstalk (Jack's story)
    • Cinderella (Cinderella's story), Rapunzel, an unknown story about a castle in the sky (possibly similar to Jack and the Beanstalk)
  • A promotional commercial for the Blue's Clues Story Time and Arts and Crafts VHS's described this episode as "a never-before-seen-on-television storybook adventure" when talking about the Story Time VHS. You can watch this promo commercial on both tapes.

Goofs

  • When Sidetable says "Blue's Clues, I'm so excited" her mouth looks like she is saying "I just love Blue's Clues".

    • This also happens in Snack Time, when Steve Skidoos into the farm.
  • When Blue puts her paw up on the screen, pawprint is a bit bigger than usual.
