We had a thread on the Entertainment Board about Bluey. It is a wonderful show, and I have been known to watch it even when the grandkids are not with me.

Among other things, the show uses classical music very effectively.

The episode "Bike" involves Bluey learning not to give up. She does this by observing the efforts of the other kids at the park, who are all focused on attempting some difficult task. As the minutes go by, we realize that we are listening to Beethoven's "Ode to Joy." Beautiful.

And in "Sleepytime" Bingo has a dream--a wonderful dream--in which we understand that she is growing independent of her mother but she also knows that her mother will be there for her. The animation is true art, and the music is from Holst's "The Planets," especially "Jupiter." I love it and have watched that one numerous times.

My grandchildren, 11 and 5, love them too.

The swell of music when it shows the mom having the bed to herself is quite the highlight.

I consider myself a fairly "manly" man but this episode got me for some reason. It was beautiful and emotional

I looked with misty eyes at my 4 year old daughter, also misty-eyed, and 6 year old daughter with tears streaming down her face after this one. You're not alone.

I feel like Bluey's writers understand parents have started to watch the show during the shutdown with their kids. The Baby Race episode is wonderful for new moms. Bandit is also amazing.

Couple days ago I saw the one of the mom raising bluey as a baby where she first learns to walk. It came on again tonight and my wife hadn't seen that one yet. I told her to look away unless she wanted to start crying. Of course she watched and started crying.

Bluey is nails.

I've also found Blaze and the Monster Machines to be solid too. It at least incorporates stem-type concepts into the show. Just fast forward through commercials on Nick if you record it.

Literally just watched this with my 5 year old nephew this weekend. We watched quite a few of them, and I was pleasantly surprised and it was legit funny.

Bluey is one of my kids favorite; I have to admit the dad is insanely funny. Claw Machine is the best!
