From the time Trevor was around 18 months old. He has loved Blues Clues intensely. Of late, he has added another program to his favorites list. This time it is Scooby Doo.

For a few months we took this new interest lightly, thinking perhaps this was a passing phase, but now it is clear that Scooby is here to stay. We have picked up a Scooby lunchbox, Scooby clothes, and a Scooby Doo DVD for those days when we are home sick with him. (Like today)

It was only a few weeks ago that I noticed the similarities between these two shows.

1) The main characters are both Dogs.
2) The dogs can both speak with mumbled voices
3) They both solve mysteries in each episode
4) They are both accompanied by a young male character (Scooby has Shaggy, Blue had Steve and now has his brother Joe)

Interesting. Tara, the comparatist would have a field day with this and could probably write an entire book about the two.
