Can we all just take a moment to appreciate Bluey

I LOVE Bluey but I'm not sure if it's a show for toddlers. My teens all think it's the best show ever.

The music is amazing.

(Love the octonauts, though. Creature report! Creature report!)

Yes, I tried based on recommendations I previously read here and had to turn it off. My kid didn’t seem to love it either.

My whole family and my kids 3/5/7 love Bluey so much. Not everything is for everybody of course but Bluey is the best for us.

I actually think it's great that as a kids show it also shows the adults lives. In the way kids perceive it. The reality is that most of are not like Mom and Dad Tiger, we're a lot more like the parents in Bluey, and it's good for kids to see adults as humans too.

Our 5 year boy old cracks up so much when watching Bluey - so we'll keep watching.

I got into it because of my kids, but I now watch it by myself after they go to bed.

Rain is one of my favorite episodes. But, yeah, baby race and sleepy time are amazing too.

OP here. My older kids love Rain!

My 8 year old howls with laughter at Bluey. I like it too. I find myself googling things after, like do Australians say “dollar bucks” or is that just a silly thing they say in the show.

Yep. The descriptions of it that I read are so great! But the energy is definitely frenetic and I don't like watching it

Bandit and Chilli are my relatable parenting goals. Also love how much time on screen Bandit spends doing housework and childcare, how Chilli has active hobbies outside her family, and how none of the fathers in the show are incompetent (looking at you, Daddy Pig)

Some episodes give lessons, but not in a super preachy way. Some are just plain fun and watching the girls play hilarious games with their dad, and you can't help but laugh. And some just hit you right in the feels - I've watched it on numerous occassions without my kids because I knew I would start crying.

Just wanted to appreciate this wonderful show. If you haven't seen it, I encourage you to. My kids are definately not the target age range but love it all the same. It's really just about kids being kids.

How does it stack up against Mr. Rogers - the all time pinnacle of children's programming?

Agree with all of this. Bandit is a WFH dad and winds up doing a lot of the parenting and housework and it's so nice to see, as a fellow WFH parent who does the same and doesn't always feel appreciated. I also like that they show the parents being affectionate towards each other, or fighting (squabbling), or just disagreeing over parenting stuff. They feel like realistic people and not paper cut outs of grown ups. I think the show could potentially teach kids some empathy for their parents, and to think of them as real people, as much as it also models very empathetic, involved parenting.

My oldest was probably 5 when we discovered it and second child was 3. She didn’t pay as much attention at the time. Now, my kids are 7/5/3 and they all watch together!

I have 3yo and 6yo DDs. We love Bluey...even my DH!

Those two episodes bring tears to my eyes every time! The Holst piece in Sleepytime is one of my favorites. I also love Camping!
