Bluey Isn't a Good Kids Show, It's Just Great TV. Period.

It's wonderful to make a video about not only something I love, but the people I love as well. Thank you so much for watching. If you enjoy this kind of heartfelt content, check out this video I made a few years ago about Toy Story and my oldest daughter (who was only four at the time...they grow up so fast! 🥺). https://youtu.be/zYhbLyvHaPY

Bluey is a hard-hitting drama where no subject is taboo. It hits you time and again in the gut with real life. And it does it in a way where you will smile the whole time. And then bawl your eyes out with a well-placed and well-earned movement of emotion. This series is healing people. It talks about traumas and mental disorders in a way that makes them a human thing, not a victim thing. It is taking the pain that we are never allowed to talk about and giving a voice and hope to it. It has shown how powerful love really is.

I think what makes Bluey so relatable is that the characters are as realistic as you can possibly get. Aside from the fact that they're on a kids show so they can't cuss or anything like that, they speak like normal people would, even when talking to and about their family. While I'm here, I guess I will mention what is currently my favorite episode: Fairytale. I just love everything about this. Getting to see Bandit and his brothers as adorable kids, all the 80's nostalgia, seeing how Bandit and Chilli (possibly) met, and a great lesson about doing the right thing not for a reward, but simply because it is the right thing to do. And I love how happy he is to tell a story where he is essentially the badguy. lol

My absolute favourite episode of Bluey has to be Promises. I remember it was the first episode that made me cry- as a soon 19 year old woman whose father was there in my formative years but not really involved in the fun we've had- that I promise I will always love you opened up and healed something in me. That despite whatever silly thing I'd make my dad do he'll always love me- I can't be sure if this is something my dad would be like- but I'm sure this is the kind of dad I needed and need. And I got reliefed that I know what I'm looking for in a father figure if I come across it in my life

Daddy Drop Off was the one for me and for my sister it was Camping. I found this show while nannying and after my sister and I watched a scary movie, I suggested we decompress with a few episodes of Bluey and we ended up binging the first two seasons. It really is just a pleasant, heart-warming show. It's a "comfort food" kind of show, but the best kind because it's not just nostalgic, it challenges its audience to think about life, not just for kids, but adults too, and I'm almost always aware of a new way in which I can try to be a better person after just one of the 10 minute episodes.

I 1000% agree to it being the best tv show of all time. This show is something my husband, my 8 year old, my 11 year old, my 4 month old (kind of), and myself watch together and on our own. I have rewatched episodes so many times and they have yet to lose their “magic”❤️

This was such a lovely essay. Your take on “Born Yesterday” is emblematic of what I love about the show. (And tying it to that wonderful quote from John Green!) Bookending the video with “Flat Pack,” one of the show’s most “adult” episodes in its thematic complexity and use of metaphor, was just perfect. Bluey may or may not be the best show on TV, but between the level of craft on display in its visual design, music, and voice acting, its capacity to simultaneously entertain kids and parents alike without solely resorting to “lol adult joke” wink-and-nods, and the care that clearly goes into its nuanced and empathetic writing… it is, at the very least, a unique and wonderful thing.

I'm sure, Bluey is definitely a masterpiece. It's a really nice TV show, which is fun for both adults and kids as well. It's relatable for parents and exciting for children! Graphics are really pleasant to the eye, especially during close-up scenes. Music was picked wisely, too. And of course, it manages to teach both generations something new! I really hope to see more of this cartoon.

I don't have kids, but I do have younger siblings, so I've seen my fair share of shows for younger audiences. But Bluey definitely is a treasure amongst all of them. Sleepytime was very influential for me. I've hit a rough patch with my mom lately since I have moved out on my own. The episode gave me the exact feeling of relying on your mother and starting to become independent and separate from your parents, but also remembering that even during tough times my mom still loves me. Brings me to tears everytime I watch it.

I'm in high school next year and one day when I have kids I have learn and remind my self about the stuff I learned from bluey like good communication or how kids should play or stuff like that

I've worked as a Nanny for most of my adult life. In 2020 the family I work for had their second baby during the lock down and I got to discover Bluey while watching the baby in the nursery while her sister was doing online school in the other room. I'm a crier as it is and it was a very emotional time, oooh did that show make me cry! It still does, but especially during that first viewing. I've taken care of babies & toddlers ect. since I was 12 (mostly family; Baby brother, niece, nephews) so I've seen a LOT of kids shows with kids and for my own fun, Bluey is a delightful series that speaks to many parts of my personality and experiences in a way that I love. Easily the best kid's series in the history of kids media. Having started writing at age 8 I've always had a preference for kid power fantasies and stories that treat child characters with dignity not as plot points and props, and even though I generally dislike animorphic character shows Bluey manages to be very endearing with it's characters and world building.

I don’t even have kids and my wife and I love this show. I pray that one day we can be parents like Bandit and Chili

Fun Fact: Disney+ forgot to put bluey in Disney Channel and it’s actually a family show because in the episode Army, Jack said he has ADHD (I think I spell it wrong) and made Grownups,teenagers,kids,and babies.

Indeed, Bluey is a masterpiece! It is an evocative, pleasant, realistic, hearthwarming, hilarious, stellar, brilliant, admirable, praiseworthy, outstandingly TRASCENDENTAL MASTERPIECE carefully ellaborated with a fair amount of love, effort and care. BLESS THIS SHOW, FOR REAL LIFE!

The best thing about Bluey is that it's enjoyable for the whole family (unlike many shows), my favourite part is that it shows how to be a loving parent. :)

Whenever I hear Bandit mentioned, all I think is; "Dad enters the room"😅

If you're trying to get someone to appreciate Bluey, this is the video that will do it.

Agreed. Although my older family members haven’t got to it (yet) me (who is 12), my 9 year old sister, my 8 year old sister, and my 1 year old sister all love this show. And although they’re still young, my 9 year old sister doesn’t even like Disney Jr., she’s more into Stranger Things and stuff but yet she loves this show! She’s the one who showed me it on June 2021.

i agree, bluey is like no any ordinary show, like there are so many relatable things and moments, from its appealing artstyle, clever writing, and its music as well. and you know its a great kids show when adults and teenagers watches it. i love bluey so much, she's basically like me when i was her age.

One of the most wholesome and earnest shows ever, appreciate the vid recognizing that and showing more people how this isn't just a kids show👏
