Censorship
In order to comply with Iranian broadcasting laws, as well as to better appeal to Islamic culture, various edits were made to a number of scenes and episodes.

General edits

 * Most of the show's songs and music sequences were cut out, possibly due to concern about whether music is considered acceptable or not in Islamic culture. This leads to some awkward jump cuts however, as a lot of these song sequences lead into other scenes.
 * There are a few exceptions however, most notably the We Are Looking for Blue's Clues and We Just Got a Letter songs, although both are only sung in certain episodes.
 * In addition to songs being cut, any instances where a musical instrument is shown on-screen have also been cut or censored. This is because Iran has a law preventing such instruments from being showcased on Iranian television.
 * Most instances of Steve giving a thumbs up to the viewer(s) were either cut out or censored, due to the gesture being considered offensive in the Middle East.
 * For some reason, most episodes cut out the scenes in the Mail Time segments where Steve interacts with Mailbox before receiving a letter, and cut straight to the part where Steve opens the letter. It's not clear as to why these scenes were removed, as other episodes leave the Mail Time segments mostly intact aside from the songs.
 * The end credits have been replaced with reused footage from the show's intro.

Episode-specific edits

 * In the episode What Time is it For Blue?, a shot of Steve giving the viewer(s) a thumbs up was censored with a close-up of Side Table Drawer.
 * In the episode Mailbox's Birthday, the scene where Steve removes Blue's pawprint off the screen was cut for unknown reasons.
 * In the episode Adventures in Art, a scene where Steve is giving Blue a thumbs up for her painting was censored with a close-up of her face. The close-up seems to be taken from the episode What Does Blue Want to Make Out of Recycled Things?.
 * In the episode Blue Goes to the Beach, a scene where Blue is hiding from Steve in a laundry basket was cut entirely for unknown reasons.
 * The same episode's Mail Time segment was also removed entirely, due to the video letter containing footage of both boys and girls swimming together at the same time, something that is not allowed in Iran.


 * The entire Mail Time segments in Pretend Time, Blue Wants to Play a Song Game!, and What Was Blue's Dream About? were cut for unknown reasons. Weirdly enough, part of the Mail Time chorus is still audible in the background of Pretend Time.


 * In the episode A Snowy Day, a scene in which Steve and Blue are looking for matching snowflake patterns with Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper was cut entirely for unknown reasons.
 * The ending of the episode What Does Blue Want to Make Out of Recycled Things? was abruptly cut off, most likely due to the fact Blue is seen playing a guitar made out of recycled materials, which goes against Iran's policy regarding musical instruments, even fake ones, being shown on television.
 * In the episode What Was Blue's Dream About?, the footage was stretched and cropped near the end in order to hide Steve's guitar, once again due to Iranian broadcasting laws.
