I think that in the perspective of a first timer, the pilot is an intricate and well-thought out introduction to the series as a whole while also being friendly and visually satisfying.

After watching the pilot, I have a few notes I took during that I'd just like to share:
* The opening title sets the tone of the show very nicely. Provides a nice blend of live action, to prepare new viewers (whom are only familiar with the character of Blue) for the sudden switch to mostly animated.
* I find it odd that anyone would need a napkin/handkerchief when eating Graham Crackers. Let alone a dog.
* Our first clue being on something as simple as a yellow plastic cup makes me really miss the simplicity this show once had in it's early days. (Seeing as this is my 5th rewatch since 2010.)
* Also in this episode we see one of Blue's amazing powers, in the form of shrinking and becoming a part of the coloring book. Maybe we'll see some more exciting powers in the coming episodes. Hmmmmmm?
* I feel like Salt and Pepper's characters somewhat-racist stereotypes of French peoples doesn't really work in today's 2015 political climate. Oh well, that's the late 90's for ya. (Things were just different back then.) :|
* Perry, Morgan, and Brooke from the "Mail-Call" segment were, in my opinion, the stand-out characters of this episode. Hope to see more of their characters later in the season.
* Steve's amazing gift of being able to speak with animals is on incredible display in this episode. Did you see how he handled those birds?
* Blue using a cow as a clue? Genius. The writers were obviously at the top of their game here; even from the very first episode.
* The ability to teleport by use of painting is another amazing ability. Can't wait for the big reveal in Season 4. #spoiler
* Really love seeing that wrap-up with all of the animals from the coloring book. What a great callback! But be careful, blink and you'll miss it!
* And finally, "NO, THANK YOU STEVE!"
Wow you guys. It was really great watching this episode with you. I can't wait to do it 140 more times!

I agree with you there on the blatant stereotypes of the salt and pepper. It was a different time and I think we should be forgiving of it. Also, yes, the painting teleportation is an amazing way to add a new scene without leaving the warmth of the home. I'm glad you really picked up on that early.

Also, just a heads up! We hit 15 members! Party tomorrow night by watching S01E02?

Salt and Pepper are French to represent fine cuisine, I would wager. They definitely do get better with time, and:
after Paprika I feel like the whole family improves quite a bit.
I can't wait for the show to get going and just improve. Snack Time was a great first episode to kickstart everything.

I believe that Blue's use of a napkin is representative of her human qualities and appreciation for cleanliness. This is shown in the care Blue takes to eat the graham cracker so delicately, but then I ask 'why a graham cracker?'
Typically, a dog eats dog food and dog treats, perhaps some meaty leftovers, but feeding Blue with graham crackers could show that Blue's Clues is a show founded on the basis of equality; why should Blue have to diet any differently to her co-stars?

All dogs like people food. It's more to connect with the preschooler. Blue is pretty evident of a toddler. She's a puppy, her speech is babbles, and Steve certainly fathers her. It's brilliant on the part of the writers. Steve may be our main character, but Blue is just like her audience.
I also love the breech of the 4th wall in the entire show. You are incorporated as a character, and an important one at that. It almost feels like you are at home with everyone.

Whoops! Forgot to do this. Anyone have any suggestions for date/time?
yes! I think it would be a great way of stimulating my artistic senses before I have art class first period on monday. Oh, the vivid colours and smooth shapes make my heart sing.
