I've never really seen a show capture both the magic of being a kid and being a parent so well. They accomplish so much with that 7 minute run time. Even manage to get some tear-jerkers in at times.

Dunno if this show has the same impact if you aren't a kid or parent but it's still a great show regardless with some great writing, voice acting and charming characters. Also it's great how unapologetically Australian it is! It's more genuinely Australian than any other show I've watched. Sometimes it even gets censored when it makes its way to Disney+ in the US.

Bingo is one of the most precious characters of all time. I really relate to that 4 year old red heeler.

Anyone else here watched this before? I think it's probably gonna end up on rotation for any recentish parent in the last few years and the future.

Speaking as someone who's seen a lot of both shows, Bluey is basically the anti-Peppa Pig.

How does it get censored in the US?

Looking it up;
  • Disney cut a scene where a pony poops and the kids run away screaming
  • They changed a scene where Bingo was pretending to vomit on her Dad
  • They cut a scene where Bingo asks her Dad how the baby got into Mum's tummy
  • They changed the word capsicum to pepper
  • They completely cut the episode 'Dad Baby' where Bandit pretends to be pregdant and give birth using a baby carrier with Bingo inside
  • The dialogue "It's a piece of poo" was changed to "It's a slug?"
  • They changed the word 'axe' to 'toothpick'


Australia changed a couple of episodes too. They changed the line 'Ooga Booga' for being racially insenstive and changed Bandit sneezing from eating Sauerkraut to burping to avoid it being a joke about allergies.

Pretty interesting to look up!

Didn't they get heat for ripping off Peppa Pig? Either sued or just hit really hard by Youtube

EDIT: Wait, no, that was Wolfoo. Don't mind me.

It was the episode Cafe that made me take notice. It's one where Bluey makes a new friend at the playground and they both want their Dads to be friends. Which leads to Bluey being confused at the adult dynamics of making a new friend.

It was Baby Race that really caught me off guard. My daughter loves babies so an episode about a Baby Bluey was right up her alley and she's loving it. Then the end of that episode hits and I'm holding back tears. Related to that so hard.

Yeah I'd 2-3 is when they get into it a bit more. Mine basically got into it when she got into imaginative play herseld so she comprehends it now.

At that age it was basically just CocoMelon IIRC lol.

Bluey is a show that knows how important it is to nail the ending. Either it's a funny gag or a profound moment.

The couple of times they suddenly hit you with flashforwards is just...man.

Yeah the parents are an actual inspiration! They're usually morons or barely relevant in kids shows. Pretty refreshing to have some parents who try their best, are a constant source of fun but also show the odd character flaw.

Outside of both having animal families they're not similar at all really.

Peppa Pig is very much going for childish and absurd. The adults are all named like Daddy Pig and Mummy Pig. The jobs they have make no sense. Peppa Pig is very much a main character and is portrayed as such even when it doesn't really make sense. It's on purpose though. Like there's a character called Miss Rabbit who somehow does every job they encounter. Peppa Pig meets the Queen and it's meant to be absurd and silly.

Bluey goes for more relatable subject matter. Bluey and Bingo are portrayed as normal kids dealing with normal problems. Their parents have their own lives outside of their kids and their own names. The kids games are all imaginative. The situations they end up in are all pretty relatable. The adults often are doing adult things around the kids.

When toddler shows end up being the main thing on the TV I end up overthinking them lol.

Oh for those parents whose kids aren't quite up to Peppa Pig yet I would recommend Shaun the Sheep. There's no dialogue and it's charming enough for adults too. Kinda like a more kid friendly Tom and Jerry type thing.

I only compared Peppa Pig to Bluey because the creators of Bluey admitted they took Peppa Pig as an example of a show that was trying to educational without inserting crap like ABC and 123's. It was a show about kids acting like kids and parents being as realistic as possible.

Yeah, it's why I call Bluey an Adult show disguised as a kids show. It's a show that will age wonderfully.

Thankfully shes not into cocomelon either. I cannot stand those songs. But I do wish I could get more than 5 minutes of her watching TV just to be able to do anything at all sometimes.

Ah yeah that makes sense. I can see some influence.

People do shit on Peppa Pig and it is a lot more shallow but I think the absurdness of it can be pretty funny sometimes. The episode where Peppa Pig can't whistle is legit funny.

Yeah I feel ya. I feel jealous of those parents who can just sit their kid in a pram and they are happy to do nothing. We never had that.

The new episode of Bluey today was about an Aunty coming to visit who had been avoiding seeing them since she is depressed over not being able to have kids herself. That moment after she plays with Bingo and she has that weird mixture of happiness but sadness when she runs away...

This show man.

I absolutely love Bluey. Probably more than my daughter. Have a lot of merchandise like shirt, dolls, toys etc.

its genuinely funny and very poignant for a kids show. Bandit is fantastic and the show has made me tear up multiple times. Baby Rave, Grandad, etc.

Dance Mode got me hooked. I was belly laughing watching that episode for the first time.

Such a great show. I watch it by myself sometimes lol.

Ugh right in the feels.

Reminds me of when I found out my first IVF transfer failed on thanksgiving day and my cousins 4 year old wanted me to play with her and read her stories. I did, her smile made me so happy and crushed me all at the same time.
