Blue's Clues is an American children's television show that ran on Nickelodeon from September 8th, 1996, to August 6th, 2006. Blue's Clues is about a dog named Blue and her owner, Steve. The show later moved to a new actor for the owner who went by the name Joe. The series would later return on November 11th, 2019, with new episodes along with a new host named Josh. The show is still airing new episodes.
Due to the popularity of the show, a few international adaptations would be produced, including one in Portuguese. This version of Blue's Clues would air throughout the mid-2000s on RTP2 (then known as 2:) in Portugal. This adaptation would be mostly the same as the American version with a lot of the English characters getting dubbed over by various Portuguese voice actors and actor Duarte Gomes replaced Steve in the adaptation and his character would be known simply as Duarte[1].

Availability
Much like the British and Korean adaptations of the show, this adaption of Blue's Clues was not widely recorded after its run on television, and thus it has fallen into obscurity.
Not much information is known about the adaptation, like exactly when the show premiered and ended on RTP2. Since the American version was rebooted in 2019, it was dubbed over for Portuguese television[6], making it very unlikely the adaptation will re-air again.
Despite the adaptation airing in Portugal and the limited information known about the adaptation, a lot of episodes from the adaptation have surfaced online thanks to home recordings. Most of these home recordings were recovered by YouTuber Blue’sClues&TheWigglesFTW MickeyMouse&HandyMannyFTL and made available in October 2020. The rest of the Portuguese version of Blue's Clues remains lost.
