I still remember that heartwarming moment of Bluey's parents kissing romantically on the pool while Bluey is swimming below them, witnessing everything with a smile. If only all parents were as loving with each other as Bluey's parents are 😢

[trinaq]

I really love how the writers subtly incorporate tough subjects, such as miscarriages or infertility, into their plots. They're dealt with very tactfully, and with great care. 🥰

[PixarShark]

The Raiders reference goes one further when you remember that Bandit is actually an archaeologist himself. That movie was probably his FAVORITE as a kid. 😆

The mom guilt one got me crying. I have been feeling that way the past few weeks. My husband tells me I am doing great...but strangely...having a dog look right at me and telling me got me crying

[maemaeslay]

My favorite moment is when Rusty and Jack have a heart to heart moment in the treehouse about his ADHD. It makes me so happy for Jack to find someone who is okay with him being the way he is, who accepts him. So relatable to me ❤

The meaning of the baloon popping in "The Show" may imply a miscarriage, but there's also the possibility that Chilli had problems during her pregnancy with Bluey. Either way, I loved that little subtle implication. That's something I love so much about "Bluey". It is not just a show for pre-schoolers, but also to the grown-ups, to help both deal with their own problems and give them valuable lessons.

I’m 34 with no kids and I watch this show, it’s takes me back to my aussie childhood. So glad it’s getting world wide attention.

[lollybowser]

I love that Bluey presents adults as real people. Sure, they put on a friendly persona around their kids like any parent does, but they've still got grown-up lives and thoughts.

[Calcria]

I had infertility, a miscarriage, and then my oldest was a preemie, an early baby. Bluey is the only kids show tackling these topics. It helped my daughter understand her early baby beginnings.

[KyleTaylorDesigns]

My toddler started watching this show a few months ago, I mostly had it on in the background for him and didn't pay much attention to it, until the episode "Sleepytime", oh my gosh, that was a beautiful episode with very minimal dialogue but extremely effective. Now I've been known to sit and watch an episode or three with him when it's on.

[SplitMaw]

I'm surprised that the infertility episode was passed over for the theory that Chili had a miscarriage. Seeing her estranged sister return and having Chili delicately try to explain why Brandy was so sad and distant for so long as she's playing with Bingo moment before helplessly reaching out to Bingo as she runs off before rolling over and staring up at the clouds was a real gut punch.

(Just wanna clarify that there's nothing wrong with broaching either topic, but it was just weird seeing a fan theory make it into the countdown rather than a confirm episode topic.)

Whoever writes this show deserves all the money

[Cosmic_Lemon]

This show is better than any Cocomelon stuff kids are watching nowadays. I’m so glad this show is getting recognition, I’ve been watching it since June 2021.

[draconicgremlin]

My favorite is when Stripe and Trixie have a conversation in the back during Faceytalk. There was a problem in their relationship, but they were able to talk it out and work together. Which is amazing. And also Bandit’s respect of their privacy is the icing on the cake

[SuperEasywalker]

I laughed hard at “drunk” Chili and Trish in “Stumpfest” and “hangover” Bandit and Chili in “Whale Watching”. Chili eating junk food on the couch with such euphoria (relatable) while telling the girl not to do it is a mood.😅

[WendyKay]

I'm getting to know Bluey quite well through my toddler niece. It is her FAVOURITE show, and I have a kind of guilty pleasure in sitting to watch it with her. It's so beautifully written and performed, and it makes me laugh out loud and genuinely cry. I'm really glad it's getting the international attention it deserves. This is Australian culture at its very best, and I don't have the words to express the national pride I feel about an Australian children's show portraying such universal experiences in such a sensitive, yet realistic way.

A Bluey spin off where the girls are older and the show gets to spend more time with the parents would be so good

[huangcuping]

My daughter loves Bluey, she watches it over and over again. And I'm glad she has the "wisdom" to choose this series since I also like the way the creator and writer gives everyday problems with realistic approach of problem solving yet still has moral values.

[Fishfriedtiddie]

Cocos mom saying “you’re doing great” makes me cry every time. I’m a single mom and while my parents help me with my child, they are not supportive and are constantly telling me everything I do wrong instead of being encouraging of being a mom in my own way.

[dawnjensen]

I love this show. My son will just binge watch it and I have no problem watching it with him. Unlike so many kids shows, the parents feel real in this one. It shows the struggles parents go through, both physically and mentally. I never thought I would relate so much to animated dogs.
