* For the 25th Anniversary of Blue’s Clues, [[https://twitter.com/nickjr/status/1435332689532440579 they released a video of Steve Burns reprising his role of Steve talking to adult fans about what happened to him after he left for college]]. This whole thing is just a treat for the adults who watched Blue’s Clues as a kid and were saddened by Steve’s departure from the show. The video has Steve go over his time at college, both the great stuff and the hardships. And just like in the show, he addresses the audience directly as if we’re part of the conversation. Thus, when Steve sincerely thanks the audience for supporting him throughout the years and says he’ll never forget you, it definitely pulls at the heartstrings. It’s also a TearJerker as many older fans of the show couldn’t help shedding tears when watching it.
-->'''Steve:''' And I wanted to tell you that I really couldn’t have done all of that without your help. And in fact, all the help that you helped me with when we were younger is still helping me today. Right now. And that’s super cool. I guess I just wanted to say that after all these years, I never forgot you... ever. And I’m super glad we’re still friends. Thanks for listening. ''(Steve signs ‘Thank you’)''

* When we figure out Blue's Clues in "Blue's Big Treasure Hunt", it turns out that the titular treasure hunt was set up by Steve's grandmother. After having found the treasure inside Mailbox, Steve reads a card saying that she's standing behind the tree. When Steve turns around, his grandmother happily jumps out, and you can't help but ''love'' her grandson's reaction.

** The best part about this episode is there's a special guest--do you know who it is? [[TheBusCameBack Steve!]] You'd probably think that after "Steve Goes to College", we'd never get to see him again, but we got to see him one last time in the series.

* In the ''Blue's Clues and You!'' pilot, Josh calls [[ContinuityCameo an older Steve and Joe]] (working for a detective agency and a present store respectively and mentioned to be Josh's cousins) to ask for some tips with Blue. Steve [[PassingTheTorch asks the audience to look after Josh]], as he's likely gonna need help like he and Joe did.
** Even more heartwarming if you take Steve's request in this way: he's not just talking to the young new viewers. He's talking to the adults who grew up watching Blue's Clues. Ever after all his time, he still sees them as his friends. Numerous (adult) fans have commented about how they cried at those words.
--->'''Steve:''' ''(to viewers)'' Hi. So... will you help my cousin, Josh? ({{beat}}) You will? Great, because I can tell he's gonna need a lotta help... like I did.\\
'''Joe:''' And like I did.\\
'''Steve:''' Right!\\
'''Steve and Joe:''' ''(as they sign Thanks)'' Thanks.
** Steve being a detective is more heartwarming when you remember that in ''Blue's Big Musical Movie'' he was sad to realize that he had ''never'' found a clue by himself and was ecstatic to finally find one, he now has a career in finding and solving clues all by himself.
** Even though he was considered the ReplacementScrappy when he was introduced, old fans were just as happy to see Joe as they were with Steve.
** For those who remembered the ASL-based episodes, many were so happy to see Steve and Joe sign "Thanks" before the call ends.

One night, before going to bed, Steve said ''he'd'' be the puppy's friend. The next morning? Blue skidoos ''out of the book'' to be with Steve.
