The 28 minute episode of Bluey debuted tonight on Disney Plus. Despite my wife thinking us crazy, I let my girls get up and we watched it at 2 am. It is an incredible thing to see. Very funny and powerfully emotional. The show is going on hiatus for a bit but the creators promise this isn't the end.

Wonderful episode. As someone who's been the Bandit in similar situations, I was rooting for the outcome they arrived at.

Just a wonderful show. Music continues to be astoundingly amazing (thanks Joff Bush!). Love this little show.

That last sequence was just so well done. That mixture of relief and frustration you could feel when Bandit was ripping the sign out...man I've felt that. And then the tackle afterwards was just perfect.

It really is amazing how well this show tackles some real hard topics in a 7 minute episode while being crack for kids at the same time.

I've now seen it 3 times in less than 24 hours. I told my wife, I don't think I've ever cried more over a TV show than this damn animated dog series.

1) I would love to party with the Heelers
2) everyone in my house cried/had tears. My four year old laughed her butt off then cried because now she thinks we're selling our house
3) I want to party with the Heelers. "What day is it?" For the biggest laugh out of me.
4). Wide and I thought the episode was heading one direction about the house but very happy it turned out the way it did.
5) I would gladly pay to watch 1 1/2 hour Bluey movie. Hell, I'd go with out the kids.

Same. I was trying to think of where this ranks in the emotional episodes.

Sleepytime
Baby Race
The Sign?
Grandad

The ending of Grandad gets me every time. I don't know how I went from a newborn to 16 year high school junior overnight (oldest) or my baby girl is starting kindergarten next year.

While I love the show and this episode, am I the only one who wishes they had gone through with the move? Would have taught kids that families have to move sometimes and I would have been interested to see the new house and friends that the creator could come up with.

I've seen this criticism raised a few times and I think it's completely valid. But also, the main theme of the episode was sometimes things seem lucky or unlucky and you can't tell which it is in the moment. So is having the house sale fall through lucky or unlucky? It certainly seems lucky in the moment, but "we'll see!"

As a huge fan of this show from the beginning, I still have to wonder how in the world that shaggy dog couple backed out of a sale when the sellers had already moved out!

It was an emotional episode for sure. Halfway through the episode I was pretty sure this was a "goodbye" episode, as in they were ending it. With all the callbacks, the subject matter of "moving on", and characters showing up for the wedding. It had that feel, but very glad it wasn't.

And Chili's sister being pregnant?! I never thought I'd be so happy for a damn cartoon dog that has only had like 5 minutes of screen time getting pregnant. My wife started crying when she saw.

I definitely laughed when one of the terriers said, "Our mom likes your dad," just so matter-of-factly. And then it looks like the dad was selling his house to move in with the Terrier's mom.

And when Chili said, "Trixy and I used to come up here to....uh...think."

Just the depth at which these show runners have built this world and how you can pop-in at any episode and it feels just the same as the first one but at the same time every episode also shows story and character progression. And because there's so many episodes the character and story progression goes at what feels like a slow pace, and you have watched every episode so many times, you're so invested that the episodes like this one hit so much harder.

I know the subject matter is "kiddy" and it's a cartoon dog family, but I truly believe this is one of the top 5 shows made over the past 5 years regardless of genre.

A lot of times you'll hear things (usually about shows aimed more towards the preteen audience) about how a show is entertaining for "kids and adults", which usually just means it has a bunch of just thickly-enough veiled innuendo to sneak a few crass jokes by the kids so the parents can laugh. It's basically two shows going on at once.

Meanwhile Bluey is schooling all those shows on how to really do it. For example the Onesies episode about Chilli's sister...for a 5 year old watching it, it's just about learning you don't always get what you want. And it's that exact same story/dialogue that's tugging adults' heartstrings at a much deeper level. Instead of "dad, why are you laughing at that, that wasn't funny", you get universal truths and experiences that work regardless of age.

We moved out of our house 4 weeks ago. It's under contract/closing in under 2 weeks. I had to go by yesterday and teared up a little walking through the empty house one last time. My daughter's first steps. When I found out my wife was pregnant. Getting the calls that you lost your mother in law and your father... You forget how many big things happen with all the little moments...

And then my wife put on this episode when I got home from a 14 hour shift... Niagara Falls... I'm amazed at how well they fit in so much with so little time. It's such a great show.

Which I never realized until now, but Chili definitely set Frisky and Rad up, right? Chili said that she sent Frisky a text that she didn't need to come over to babysit since Rad was going to, but Frisky said she never received it.

Chili never sent that text and had Rad and Frisky both come over knowing Frisky had just broken up with her boyfriend in hopes of setting her up with Rad.

Oh, also if Bingo hadn't been on bug patrol to save that caterpillar, the butterfly wouldn't have helped them find Trixie at the park and Bluey wouldn't have stuck the coin in the slot that the dogs with no eyes used to find the other house.

A real butterfly effect.
