PS The rest of Bluey S3 is coming to Disney+ July 12th!
Bluey is amazing, warm, funny, clever, just perfect. Any kids show that can tell the story of human evolutionin, while using it as a metaphor for children growing up is pretty special. (I think that episode is called Flat Pack) And also, if you can access iPlayer (BBC), Hey Duggie is brilliant, silly, funny, great design and sweet. Also Puffin Rock (Netflix) is like a warm, gentle blanket - but sneaks in educational nature content, as does Octonaughts (iPlayer / Netflix), which is also excellent.
Bluey is the only kids show that I spent the time to make a web game about…
It’s that good…
My baby is only 3 months old so I need prepare for when he is old enough for kids tv. What makes Bluey so good?
I haven’t watched it much, but my wife really likes it. My advice is simply to avoid Caillou, unless you want your kids to be bratty, whiny, and possibly bald.
Mostly it’s very well written. Funny, sweet, educational for both kids and parents. The humor isn’t tacked on to keep kids’ attention; it’s woven into the story and lesson of each episode. Bluey is one of the few shows I enjoy watching with my kids, and it’s by far my favorite.
Most kids TV is just mindless repetitive garbage. Bluey is actually just genuinely, good, well-written TV. I’ve heard people say that it’s not really a kid’s show that parents like to watch, it’s a parent show that kids also like to watch.
