Blue’s Room was based on the Nick Jr. series Blue’s Clues. The spin-off originally aired on Nickelodeon as part of the Nick Jr. programming block, airing short segments during the main Blue’s Clues show between 2004 and 2007. The shorts were made available on the Noggin app in 2015 before being removed in 2020. CBS All Access (now known as Paramount+) added the show to its library in 2021, where it had lived up until now.
Big Time Rush was a sitcom aired on Nickelodeon for four seasons between 2009 and 2013. The series followed the Big Time Rush group playing a fictional version of themselves.
The title purges are part of the company’s normal process of removing and adding titles, which is done on a monthly and quarterly basis, a Paramount spokesperson said.
