Anyone else watching it?

I recall the show being talked about a lot on furry twitter three or so years back. Then the normies started watching it, as they'd sit with their kids and see the show was actually a good watch I guess.

Episodes are only about 7 or so minutes. The main characters are just a family of four blue heelers living in Australia, super wholesome and reminiscent of childhood. Bandit (the dad) acts like a typical dad, or at least he really reminds me of my stepdad whom I was very close with.
For those of us who did not have an entirely wholesome childhood, the show can still be fun. For me, I love media with healthy families, since I did not have that kind of family growing up.

I haven't watched this many episodes in a row, of any show, in ages.

Curious why you brought up furries first like ABC wrote it for them lol. Of course "normies" watch it with their families. Its a preschool show.

I can kind of relate as a parent too. From Chili feeling bad because Bluey wouldn't take her first steps to watching Bandit watch Bingo and Bluey try and steal ice cream. Not to mention how "tired" both were after the NYE party.

I love bluey
It's not just a good kids show, it's a good show period. The characters are extremely well written, the jokes both by the adults and kids are funny most of the time. They consistently manage to produce interesting story lines in a mere 7 minutes.
I love to watch this when I'm stressed. It's really calming and cute gives me a warm happy feeling Inside.

Season 3 episode 2 "bedroom" is my current favourite episode. Because the whole episode is adorable.

Was referring to the adult audience mostly, not the children

My son watches it sometimes, and it's alright, but I think he has learned a little too much from Muffin >=(

I think Bluey is the MOST OVERRATED kids' cartoon currently on TV

Yes even more than SpongeBob SquarePants because at least modern SpongeBob has gems like The Tidal Zone and SpongeBob's Big Birthday Blowout

I don't understand the appeal of Bluey

Bringing this thread back to say I've nearly finished season 1, and I love Bandit cuz he's just like my stepdad (whom I was very fond of and very close to)

It's very wholesome and not dumbed-down, which is probably why adults find it appealing as well as the intended audience.

I'm not really into the furrie cult.

Not into it, but I'm familiar with it. The merchandise is everywhere.

I'm actually quite surprised with Bluey's level of success, since it's probably the first Australian cartoon to be a global phenomenon. Mostly, Australians don't export their own media to America. Usually Australian celebrities only make it big in America if they appear in American movies (or better yet, move to America full-time). The average American can't even name a single politician from Australia.

My nieces love Bluey and I've watched it so many times with them that I started to really enjoy, it'd really wholesome and sweet with good lessons about life and I feel the show isn't so 'dumbed down' like alot of kids shows, it has good writing I might add
