It's been a tough few weeks for some Millennials. Steve Burns from "Blue's Clues" seems to get it.
"Hey, I'm checking in. Tell me, what's going on?" the actor who starred in the animated Nickelodeon show asked in a TikTok posted Thursday, before silently looking into the camera for about a minute. He ends the video saying, "Alright, well, it's good to hear from you. You look great by the way."
The video comes after the release of the Investigation Discovery docuseries "Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids' TV," which spotlights allegations of abuse and mistreatment on beloved Nickelodeon shows many young adults enjoyed when they were kids.
Though Burn did not mention the docuseries directly in his video, many commenters took his question as an opportunity to share how they are feeling about it. The video has over 7.3 million views and 45K comments.
"After the Nickelodeon documentary Steve all I need is my Blues Clues to save whatever is left of this childhood I once had," wrote one commenter.
Elmo asks 'How are you doing?'Turns out, they’re not doing great.
"Not me crying the instant he asked," wrote another.
One person hailed Burns as "our nickelodeon therapist," and another praised the actor for delivering the exact thing fans seemed to need. "I feel like he knew that the Nickelodeon fans needed this after the documentary came out. And this is the best response: How are you? Are you okay?"

'Quiet on Set' highlights alleged horrors of kids' TV
In the docuseries, former child actors allege a variety of abuses and toxic behavior on the sets of classic Nickelodeon children's TV shows, from "All That" and "The Amanda Show" to "Drake & Josh" and "Victorious." From claims of racism and bullying workplaces to horrifying accounts of alleged sexual assault, the documentary suggests there was darkness behind all of Nick's bright green slime.
"Quiet on Set" focuses on TV shows made for kids featuring kids, in the heyday of Nickelodeon in the 1990s and early 2000s. Many are from producer Dan Schneider, who would eventually get ousted by the network in 2018 after allegations of inappropriate behavior surfaced. Schneider denies many of the allegations in the documentary in statements to the filmmakers and USA TODAY.
Drake Bell, who rose to fame on "The Amanda Show" and "Drake & Josh," reveals he was the victim in a criminal case, for which Nickelodeon dialogue coach Brian Peck pleaded no contest to lewd acts with a child. Actors Bryan Hearne and Giovonnie Samuels alleged experiencing racism both subtle and glaring. Two former female "Amanda Show" writers accused Schneider of sexism and sexual harassment. The filmmakers and talking heads accused Schneider of sexualizing the children's shows, showing clips that include sexual innuendo or appear to mimic sexual acts, featuring future stars like Ariana Grande and Jamie Lynn Spears.
