Bluey is amazing.

The entire premise of the show is having a child, filled with the wonderment and magic of youth, playing with her dad.

And her dad, no matter what, always plays along, often begrudgingly.

Moms are moms, dads are dads. Kids are kids. and that's it.

It's a great show.

This is well put.

My daughter is right at that age where's she's transitioning out of shows like Bluey into more adolescent show....sadly.

But, she still watches this one in the morning while getting ready for school and sometimes just for entertainment on the weekends. It's just a plain, old fashioned show with humor, sometimes deep thoughts and lessons for kids, and it even is a bit entertaining for parents as the parental characters across all the kids are relatable to REAL LIFE.

My kids are getting a bit older but still watch Bluey. Great show. Never have to worry about what they are watching like with so many other shows. I don't watch a ton of it but usually find myself watching a couple episodes per week.

I have to be honest...its actually a bit motivating for me to be more engaged with my kids so a positive for both kids and parents....

Bluey is terrific. It seems like the third season directed the attention toward their parent demographic even more than before.

there is a ton of truth in that.

my oldest turned 9 yesterday.

3 days ago, it seems, she was 3.

Exactly. Mine are 15, 11, and 3. And just yesterday they were all tiny and napping on my chest on the couch. Now, at least for the oldest, we're discussing college, driving, and jobs. I wish there was a pause button

Why does this hit me so hard?

Strange, every time I see that scene my allergies just go nuts.

There was a dad group thread on bluey a while back. (might have been here, I can't remember) and it help me a lot. The TLDR of the thread was a bunch of dads lamenting that between work and chores and everything else, we never seem to have the same amount of time as a cartoon dog dad does to spend with their kids. Lots of "Cats in the Cradle" playing in the background of the whole thread.

We'd never get anything done if we played all day with our kids like it appears bandit & chili do, but at the same time noticing we should balance things out as best we can.


And the resident Pater familias of the group chimed in saying "you can't be like that all day. Its impossible. Your house would be a wreck, you'd get fired, and you would be failing your basic responsibility of providing for your kids.

That said....remember that Bluey is like a 9 minute episode. If you find yourself being pulled between adult responsibilities and chores and work and your child begging for attention, give them at least the same 9 minutes. Set timers if you have to. Play the silly pretend game. Romp around like a horse. Go all out for your kids. It's ok. They'll be ok. What isn't ok is wishing in 20 years that you spent more time with them as little ones. If you can do that, you'll be doing a pretty darn good job."

Bluey sets unrealistic expectations on how much energy I should have to play with my four year old.

Having a Toddler, Bluey is on 80% of the time she actually sits to watch TV. (She's a Muffin, IYKYK). I find my self watching it by myself everyone a bad again. Great show and a few episodes really hit deep.

---

Completely agree. Big big fans at our house.

Lol. So true.

So….for those of us who are dumb, how do we "torrent" Bluey?

We love Bluey. Bandit is dad goals.

theoretically

1. Use a VPN to hide your app and to give your ISP plausible deniability
2. Install qbittorrent
3. go to torrent search engine , search for "bluey"
4. clock on torrents to start downloading.
5. surf porn while waiting
6. watch bluey on favorite media app (e.g., VLC) when done.

I don't know. Have you seen Born Yesterday? I'd suggest drawing the line before grabbing food from a stranger on the street.

I disagree with about 90% of the opinions posted in this forum, but on this topic, I have to agree 100%!
Bluey is an awesome show! Have watched tons of episodes with my 4 grandkids.

I love watching Bluey especially with my grandkids. They always dance when the intro music starts and I love that there is usually a wholesome moral to the story.

I'll admit, I usually have closed caption on because I find I miss some of the words due to their accents and my hearing.

I'll also admit that when I'm home alone and really missing my grandkids, I may turn an episode on just to make me feel better.

My husband gets annoyed the episodes are so short lol. I find that part of the charm. Bandit makes me laugh constantly.

Luckys dad is not a stranger. He's right though, we are raising a nation full of squibs

This show makes me hit the waterworks on many occasions.

My sons and I watched "Sleepytime" for the first time only a week or 2 after my mom passed away and it destroyed me. So well done.

Glad to know you're a crazy leftist but at least have a shred of human decency that values the nuclear family.

Never heard of this show--I guess I'm out of the cultural loop.

As a father of 4 young kids… am I the only one who think the pups are kind of rude/demanding? My wife feels the same way, but maybe we're over thinking it. It's a fun show and WAY better than 99% of the stuff out there, but it doesn't fully sit right. Too much of the kids running the show and telling the parents what to do. Maybe we just suck (haha or tears)

I get what you are saying but in general it is one of the few shows with a nuclear family including a dad that plays with kids. No inappropriate / suggestive material, etc. Not perfect but hard to beat.

To make it Politics related, we're fairly certain that Chili votes like a progressive. She's just a standard suburban working mom

She got ridiculously lucky landing Bandit

LOL.

Definitely your standard "concerned moderate" suburban mom that lives the good life and worried about appearances and seeming to be "inclusive" to the other moms....time to ban this show!!!

Chili works in Airport security and Bandit is an Archeologist (get it, he likes to dig up stuff?)

I guess he just works at home.

I remember something about airport security but I think that was early on. I think she's stay at home now.

Bandit def an archaeologist

If she is in airport security thst would mean bomb or drug dog imo

Try having a 19 and 18 year old daughters...... Sometimes when I dream, I still think of them still being little girls on my shoulders or in my arms. Without having to worry about the world's troubles.

Glory be to God for our children!

Pavlova!

I love this lol

Just remember Bandit and Chili exist to give you a break not to compare yourself against. They are on your team.
