Santomero says she has a copy in her possession.In a recent post to ,&nbsp;Santomero shared a photo of herself alongside original Blue's Clues host Steve Burns on the set of the "Blue Prints" pilot, which she says was taken in 1994. Santomero added a comment to the post, which simply reads, "I have the PILOT!!!!"advertisingThe currently categorizes "Blue Prints" as "partially found," as a small amount of footage is currently available to the public, though the episode has yet to ever be released in its entirety.Following its completion, the pilot was screened exclusively for preschoolers in 1995, so as to test the show's interactive elements with its target audience.&nbsp;"Blue Prints" never aired on television and was largely unknown until 2006, when Nickelodeon released some footage from the pilot as part of a special celebrating Blue's Clues' 10th anniversary. There are a few noticeable differences between the pilot and the final show, such as the fact that Steve did not yet have his iconic green striped shirt.advertisingFollowing the 2006 special, Blue's Clues fans&nbsp;scoured the internet in an attempt to locate&nbsp;a full version of "Blue Prints," though ultimately came up empty-handed. Many years later, in 2020, Nick Jr. released a previously-unseen screenshot of the pilot's title card on its official page.It remains to be seen if Santomero will release "Blue Prints" to the public. Notably, there are potential legal issues that might stand in the way, especially if the pilot is still considered the intellectual property of Nickelodeon. Such legal issues have already prevented the release of Nickelodeon's original Drake &amp; Josh pilot.advertisingThat said,&nbsp;Santomero releasing the Blue's Clues pilot wouldn't be entirely unprecedented. Johnny Quasar -- an early&nbsp;pilot from John A. Davis that would eventually evolve into his Nickelodeon creation Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius -- was considered lost for years, until the eponymous character's original voice actor found the footage and shared it to .Created by Santomero alongside&nbsp;Traci Paige Johnson and&nbsp;Todd Kessler, Blue's Clues officially premiered on Nick Jr. in 1996, running for a total of six seasons and concluding in 2006. Steve Burns hosted the series from 1996 to 2002 as the character Steve, with Donovan Patton taking over for the rest of the show's run as the character Joe, Steve's younger brother. Santomero and Johnson also created a spinoff titled Blue's Room, which aired from 2004 to 2007. Santomero, Johnson and Kessler returned in 2019 to create a reboot titled Blue's Clues &amp; You!, with actor&nbsp;Joshua Dela Cruz hosting as the character Josh, Steve and Joe's cousin.advertisingSource: , via0Related TopicsAbout The AuthoradvertisingadvertisingadvertisingCommentsadvertising
