"Featherwand" or bust.

Nothing's better than an irritated Bandit yelling at his child, "Eat your floor cereal!" Mirrors my experience as a parent to a T.

This is the best kids cartoon ever. I’m not a kid and i admit i’ve watched every episode.

There’s been a lot that have just cracked me up like whale watching, kings and queens, the kid picking his nose at the top of the slide and wiping it on the side of the slide - gross but when you catch it in the background, i mean…ya).

As a parent this is 100% relatable to everyday life. It’s so well done.

Best ….. kids cartoon ……..ever! That is all.

My new favourite episode is sleepy time. The music and the storytelling are all remarkable. It was a beautiful episode.
Sleepytime is stunning. I've watched it at least ten times and still cry every time.

For a while, it was the number one ranked episode of any televsion show in history on IMDB (it's currently #33).

In a sea of ####, Bluey is a beacon of light in children's television. It's #1 for me. For the record, my #2 is Puffin Rock.

My kid used to love this show. She used to make me role play the statue game with her all the time.

Wow. The most recent episode is called Cricket, and it’s about cricket, except it’s not at all about cricket, it’s about perseverance, dedication, and the power of love and OMG it smacked me right in the feels. Get the Kleenex ready when this comes to North America.

My coworker who admits she doesn't even have children watches Bluey with her boyfriend every night before bed. It really is just a great show. I aspire to parent like them.

I literally heard about Bluey last night as our various kids and nieces are visiting and all have young children. They love it! So...now I have to find it and see if it makes grandparents wish they were parents again LOL.

I just watched the season finale the sign. 28 minutes and an absolute crowning achievement in television. A masterpiece

I just watched it, and am still a bit teary. You’d have to be made of stone for that not to get you in the feels.

I was thinking it was the best 30 minutes of television that will be made for a very long time. The scene construction and perspectives….and Bandit at the end with his chest heaving…just incredible.

I don’t have kids by the way. It was just that powerful and well done.

Enjoyable episode. Liked how everything ended up connected with the humour and heart warming moments we have come to expect. The longer format worked well and the show felt more mature with the additional time to explore themes. Just as good as any 30 minutes on TV.

Was frustrated by the couples’ lack of communication that drove the episode’s conflicts. Like who hasn’t discussed where they will be living before getting married?

my family watched it last night.
As usual, many laughs mixed in with the gut wrenching parts.

no shame here in admitting I had tears.
They had me right until the very end thinking that they really were moving.

first part that got me was when Bluey told everyone she was moving and all her friend gathered close and howled.

Show is so good, and yeah they really hit this one out of the park.

I don't think there is another kids show out there that can come close to the depth Bluey has.

My family is going through some challenges, and I think that this episode will really help my daughter in dealing with her feelings and processing the changes in her life.

I think well thanks for the amazing is that the same show can be viewed through the lens of kids and adults and they'll both get a totally different experience. There's a ton of story and small parts of the show that are just for the adults and our little nods to parents and parent things.

My youngest loves this show... I am both very happy and not about that.

Very Happy because truth be told I actually enjoy watching it (most children's programming has to be endured by adults and not enjoyed) just really good writing the ability to just seemlessly work in the nods to adult/parental issues without taking away from the childhood whimsy that the kids enjoy.

The "not" comes from the fact that I'm expected to do all the stuff that Bandit does and ohhhhh boy is that exhausting... I still try to do it, they'll only be at this age once and from the older child I know that I'll really miss this age when it's gone .
