A healthy chunk of the tweets were jokes, or parents defending the new show as not too bad. But quite a few were people really bummed out by the changes to Blue's world. Also, it's Twitter, so there was a vocal subsection of folks who used it as an excuse to opine on the financial hardships facing the U.S. Postal Service.
In Blue's Clues & You, Josh (the third host to befriend Blue and help her solve her mysteries) has actually teamed up and crossed over with Steve and Joe, bringing the three iterations of the show into an explicitly shared continuity and giving the parents of the current kids watching the show. Steve, too, got to grow into his role as a detective -- something that's fun for longtime viewers, including filmmaker Kevin Smith, whose daughter grew up with the original version. Joe also now runs his own present store.
Steve Burns also helped pick Josh Dela Cruz as the next host of Blue's Clues!
"In a world where the news cycle has the power to depress, frustrate, and terrify, I'm thankful it taught me that Blue's Clues Steve finally became the Detective he always wanted to be!" Smith tweeted recently. "I'm tearfully happy for a fictional character I've never met! Excellent fan service @NickJr!"

Older Blue's Clues viewers will be pleased to learn that Josh's Notebook is still a Notebook with crayon and paper, it just has a smartphone in the back. Also, Mailbox still exists, and they still do the mail song, they just do email's now. In fact, Josh still does get letters from time to time!
So for the people who just discovered modern Blues Clues exists
