It is rare that any program, let alone a kids tv show, makes you want to be a better parent, and then shows you how. But this family of dogs does just that. Mum works and Dad does everything he can to be a loving carer who fosters imagination and play. The lessons are subtle, cased in layers of imagination and humour and end up hitting you right in the heart. I consider myself a pretty good parent, but Bluey shows me how to be a better one. And dare I say it, it has fostered a closer relationship to my daughter as a result. Yep. It is that good.

The best thing ever

Impossible to explain how good!
maximovlE7 August 2021
Simply impossible to explain this show. Nothing I write will do it justice. I've been around since The Magic Roundabout, The Flumps, Captain Pugwash, Tom and Jerry, Scooby Doo... Nothing from that era, or today's attempts like Peppa Pig, or anything in-between, come anywhere near to the standards of Bluey.
I sit with my young daughter (not that you need a young one to watch this,) and I'm laughing hard one minute, and fighting off the tears the next.
The creators, in fact the whole team from the story writer, to the animators, to the sound and music team, and especially to the actors... And every single other person involved... Are purely fantastic human beings.
If you listen from a distance it doesn't sound scripted half the time, it just sounds like an amazing family having fun. Most of the stories hit home, hard. Every character has amazing depth and are so loveable. Every single episode has something unique and amazing in it.
What did I learn from this? These kids are awesome.

About time, Australia...

Massive kudos to the makers and cast. Who needs kids as an excuse to watch this? Brilliant stuff and long overdue for this country to be producing something of this calibre. Whoever voices Bluey and Bingo deserve individual recognition too. Clever, entertaining and hugely amusing. If this doesn't rank up there with Peppa Pig and the plethora of other great British kids' shows, there really is no justice.
The best TV show since The Sopranos
alex-46296-724818 September 2019
Simply perfect. Everything about Bluey is fantastic.
It's modern Australia without ever dipping into cork hat cliche. It's family life without anyone having to look like an idiots. There's jokes galore for the parents but without feeling forced or inappropriate. It teaches us all stuff without ever preaching. The lessons aren't just for the kids either - there's not a parent that has watched Bluey that hasn't learned something. In fact, if there is ever a hint of boredom or wanting a game to play, pop on an episode of Bluey and by the end of the 7 minutes you'll have a new game to play.
Even when there was a question mark over whether Chilli was left on the fringes being forced to play the straight man, with Bandit getting all the parental glory, the writers sorted it and she got her punchlines.
The comparisons to other pre-school shows are inevitable and let's hope they continue as Bluey should finally mean we see the last for the damn pig. That pig is rude without consequence, treats her dad like an idiot, dumps on her friends, never says please or thank you and bullies her brother, Bluey and her family are the polar opposite.
If there is a downside to Bluey, it's that Bandit sets an impossibly high dad standard for us to all live up to.

Great Aussie cartoon.
mszeedee25 October 2018
"Bluey's Dad, Bandit, is an Archaeologist (who loves to dig for bones) and is voiced by award-winning musician and song writer, Dave McCormack (frontman of rock band Custard). Bluey's Mum, Chilli (who works part-time in airport security), is voiced by actress Melanie Zanetti (Tidelands, The Bureau of Magical Things, The Family Law). Bluey, Bingo and some of their friends are voiced by children of the production crew, making this series truly a family affair, on and off the screen."
This is such a great show, right up there with Charlie and Lola and Peppa Pig. Except it's Aussie! My 4 year old loves it and so do I. Keep it coming!

This show makes me a better parent
cmwhite2817 November 2021
Funny, relatable, and so enjoyable for the whole family. Our kids love it, but we the adults love it as well. It shows the magic of childhood but also shows what engaged parenting looks like. This show makes my husband and I want to be better parents and also showcases the universal themes of parenthood. This is hands down the best kids show. The hype is worth it.
Disney Junior is Back In Business
BoxwoodExpress12 September 2019
I'm one of the few Americans in this review section, since this particular cartoon, which originates from Australia, didn't premiere in the USA until 9 September 2019 on the Disney Junior. I've been hearing rave reviews for the series, so I was excited for it to premiere. It went way beyond my expectations.
The series is the perfect show about families. There are no stereotypes or cliches; for example, Bandit (Blue's father) isn't a bumbling buffoon, Chili (Blue's mother) isn't a subservient weakling, Bingo (Bluey's sister) isn't a bratty half-pint, and Bluey isn't a girly-girl, for once. THANK GOD. We need more tomboy characters in mainstream preschool shows.
The family is realistic. They aren't an abusive, dysfunctional family, or an overly perfect family, but they reflect real families. Sometimes they don't get along, but they always love each other.
My most favorite thing about the series is that it depicts play in a positive light. Young kids should go outside, play and just let their imaginations run wild instead of staying inside and watching crappy Elsagate channels on YouTube. Almost every episode emphasizes playtime in a grand manner. For example, a game of keeping the balloon in the air later becomes a matter of life and death. It's really fun and exciting. It reminds me of shows like Recess, Codename: Kids Next Door, Hey Arnold, Craig of the Creek and Clarence.
Since Elena of Avalor and The Lion Guard are sadly both ending after season 3 (check the MooseZeeOnNickJr Facebook page), this show and TOTS are the current best Disney Junior shows, even though this show is an acquired property and not a Disney original. The show already has a wide Australian fanbase, and hopefully this will become a huge hit in the United States of America, hopefully it will beat out Peppa Pig and dethrone that wicked tyrant once and for all.

Best. Show. Ever.

Move over Peppa Pig
bmeers-883-5048322 October 2018
Endlessly creative, clever, heart warming, topical, this is one of the best shows for little ones on TV. The animation is gorgeous, the writing is brilliant. I find myself watching episodes even when the kids aren't there. The voice acting is incredible with special mention going to the actors who do Bluey and the dad (someone needs to update their IMDB page). The relationship between the dad and his kids is inspiring. The games the kids play together and with their parents are so clever. I now re-enact them with my own kids. This show could be huge, both here and overseas. I feel strangely proud that it's made by Australia. Well done, bravo, keep up the good work.
Fav. eps: Takeaway, Shadowlands, The Magic Xylophone, The Hospital
Also, the theme music and music throughout is fantastic.

charming
Kirpianuscus20 December 2020
It seems an animated serie first for adults. For the many provocative stories, for the fresh and refreshing perspective about family and, especially, for the relations between parents and kids, for humor - the fine irony is a great virtue. Short, just charming in its mixture of chaos and not ordinary forms of wisdom
Perfect Australian Kids Cartoon, can't get enough of this beautiful program
coasterdude4425 June 2020
Finally, Australia gets itself an animated show that is warranted of all the praise it's currently getting. The animation is beautiful looking and charming with great character such as Bluey, Bingo as well as her Mum and Dad. It's a very relatable family which any Australian can identify with as well as many more around the world.
This show has been getting quite a bit of international publicity as of late with American and European audiences loving Bluey and wanting more. You can't blame them. Bluey doesn't just succeed as a great kids show emphasizing the importance of imaginative play and understanding how a child's mind and imagination works, especially when it comes to playing and interacting with others, it also has quite a bit to say about adult audiences, giving tidbits of advice of how to better connect with your child's imagination if you do happen to be a parent. The show is also unapologetically Australian, though at the same time doesn't go overboard with it as well, which is probably for the best. It nails modern Australian life very well without trying to hard to embarrass Australian audiences with over indulged stereotypes.
The show nails the child-parent relationship beautifully in Bluey, and is also very original in the ideas and topics it communicates in the themes that I discussed earlier. Anyway well done Ludo Studio and I wish you all the best with your success with this new cartoon and franchise. My only complaint is that I wish the episodes were longer :)

Great for the youngsters
Wiseguy20115 April 2021
Well, this is a very creative Australian (probably) TV series for kids. The only reason I'm giving a 7 is that it's sometimes kinda boring or... like for example in one episode, the dad plays games with his children, in the game the child is the boss, and the child says stuff that will embarrass the dad (hey dad, wipe the glass with your butt!)
So, this is actually very creative and funny, but kinda not my thing.

bonniestrathie29 January 2024
Let me start by saying that I'm Australian, I get the humor, I definitely like kids shows, I'm not a complete jerk but - I don't like Bluey.
I can't stand the hype, I can't stand Bluey herself (Bingo is actually alright by me) and their parents are soft idiots.
Bluey is basically a funny version of Peppa Pig but with a cooler pop culture undertone.
Bluey is a brat. She speaks to people awfully, expects her parents to be at her beck and call and is painful as a whole.
Sure some of the storylines are heart warming as a parent to watch but mostly is just a bag of bratty behavior from a whiney little smelly dog.
Call me jaded all you like but Bluey can rack off.

Not just for children, it's for everyone
LTPHarry9 January 2020
Back in 2004, a british animated show called Peppa Pig premiered. Forward to 2018, and we have this Australian series, which is called Bluey.
Peppa Pig however, suffers from poorly-written episodes, bland animation and unlikable and whiny characters. Worst of all, it actually effects the behaviour on children because they love it so much, like they would cry like George Pig over the simpliest things.
Bluey however, is nothing like that. The animation is really great for a flash series and is nicely detailed without being too bland. The characters are very loveable and fun, and best of all? It's not annoying and what the characters do is actually fun to watch. In fact, it doesn't appeal to kids, it appeals to adults, too. I'm 19 years old and I enjoy seeing what Bluey and her family do. Yep, I said that right, Bluey is female, so it's neat having a role-model who is likeable, unlike Peppa.
The plots are your usual slice-of-life type material with morals, from having Bandit (the Dad) pretending to be a robot, to Bluey and Bingo running a pretend hospital, to even Bluey pretending to be a grown-up at the Supermarket.
Both Peppa and Bluey do share one thing, good voice acting, except this show does it a whole lot better. The Australian accents are nice to hear, and it's great that BBC Studios kept them in when the series started to air internationally.
The only bad thing (at least in the UK) is that it airs on Disney Junior, which is typically on the highest packs on TV providers like Sky and Virgin Media, so many kids won't be able to see how amazing this show really is. If BBC Studios put it on CBeebies, then it would be able to reach a wider audience and it could rival shows like Bing Bunny or Hey Duggee in terms of popularity, but since this show will be on Disney+ as well, I see no sign of that happening.
Overall, this show is great. If you like family shows and have young kids, this is well worth watching.

Nothing else in this age group compares
bulgerpaul3 December 2021
There is literally nothing in all off children's media targeting the age group of 2-5 years old that even remotely compares to just how adorable, hilarious, imaginative, original, and emotionally mature as Bluey is.
Is there a more realistic show on parenting?
maymckay19 March 2021
It was a casual listen, I happened to catch a two minute snippet of conversation of two Austrailian dogs, talking to their puppies. And I laughed out loud. I took two steps back and before I knew it, I'd watched four episodes. Granted each episode is only 7 minutes long, but it is more fun then I've had with any Disney cartoon show in ages. It took me back to the days of Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers, Talespin, and suddenly I was anxious to watch this show (with my child of course... cough cough) again and again. Great writing, phenomenal voice acting. It ranks with some of my favorite shows I've seen. Excited for Season two to go on Disney+!
We even listen to the soundtrack on the way to school
linear-descent14 April 2021
I don't ever remember sitting and watching a kids show by myself after the kids go to sleep, but here I am. My youngest was watching this show one day and I happened to just walk in the playroom and sit down and watch the "Sleepytime" episode with her and everything the parents were going through in that episode regarding when one of your kids crawl in bed with you were exactly what my wife and I have experienced with our own kids. I found myself laughing and identifying with the parents, and then stayed and watched the remaining few episodes for the half hour on Disney Jr.
And now here I am trying to catch up on the missed episodes on Disney+ while my kids are asleep, cracking up and genuinely enjoying myself watching a kids show. The show is very well written and truly represents the typical family. The small details is what gets me: the random peeling stickers and goldfish bits on the back seat of their car, the messy rooms, the occasional groaning by the dad as he deals with his kids... you can tell that the writers are all parents.
All the reviews on here are correct. This is a great show and deserves all of my 10 stars. The soundtrack is great as well, and has a lot of different styles of music including country, rock, ska, spacey trippy music, and of course the great and happy theme music. My kids like to listen to it during the car drive to school, and I find myself continuing to listening to it while I drive to work after I drop them off. Hooray for Bluey!

Simply Life Changing (not hyperbole)
wilmotcj15 December 2021
I'm a man in my late 30s with a new son. I have watched the cream of the last 50 years of television for most of my life. Nothing else I've ever watched comes close.
My wife told me about this great show I should watch but I paid little attention.
Only after my son was born in May 2021 did I sit down feeding him early in the morning and really start watching. We watched every episode within a week. He didn't care. It was for me. I couldn't stop.
The charm, magic, beauty and sincerity of this show is just emotionally overwhelming yet brilliantly heart-warming.
Yet for the most part it's incredibly funny, never preachy or lecturing, full of layers, subtext and razor sharp observations. Every episode is simply a delight that anyone of any age can take something from.
In 7 minute blocks I've reassessed my childhood, my relationship with my parents, my parenting and attitude to life in ways you simply couldn't imagine a cartoon about dogs in Australia would be able to do.
I'm not kidding when I say that it has made me a much better parent. I'm sure that when you add the cumulative effect across the families of all who've watched it. The overall positive effect will be astounding.
I say to anyone reading this. You must watch it. It is something to truly cherish. It will make you laugh until you hurt, cry ugly tears, make you think about your life and ultimately recharge your soul.
I hope that the people who work at Ludo studios sometimes read these reviews and realise that whatever they do for the rest of their lives. They'll always be part of making something truly special. They should be proud.
When I'm old and senile in a nursing home, I'll expect that I'll be asking the staff to put on Bluey and leave me to it.
This show gets into you and becomes a part of you. The best thing ever made.

I love this show more than my kids
snoopypooky17 November 2020
As a grown human with two tiny people I can confirm that this show is the only one you'll ever need to entertain, inspire, and encourage you kids in all the right ways.
It has SO many qualities bottled up into seven legendary minutes an episode, I often find myself watching it even when the kids aren't around.
It is hilarious, heart-warming, cheeky, sweet, silly, and overwhelming all in one - whoever writes this show deserves a flipping' MEDAL.
And bonus - the score for each episode continues to astound me! The unique (yet still cohesive) soundtrack for each episode really takes this show to a whole other level.
I can't fault this show. Seriously.
Do yourself a favour and just watch it!

Layers!
MrCaveat15 December 2018
Perfect authenticity, both of place and of family interactions. Endless charm!
What brings it up to a 10 for me though, is the layers. There is almost always a b-story, allegory, and\or message behind whatever is happening up front with Bluey & Bingo.
'BBQ' for example, has something to say about how we assign and value gender roles in everyday life; while 'The Claw' manages to squeeze in both a message about how effort makes a reward more valuable, and how an unjust economic system should be overthrown!
All in 7 minutes.
Plus, the opening credits just make me smile every time.

This show manages to tackle parenthood and what it is to bring kids up the way no other show can manage. It's funny. It's serious when needed and teaches important lesson. And it does it in a way that your kids can watch it. It also is fun to watch for adults.
Don't bother buying books on parenting - watch Bluey
snoozejonc29 January 2024
The life and times of the Heeler family
What makes it so good is that how much it works for both parents and children. Some children's animated shows are merely tolerable, but this is something I can watch and enjoy even without my two young daughters.
The writing includes brilliantly observed interactions between parents and children that are entertaining, funny, insightful and emotional. You would struggle to find a family or parenting situation in Bluey that you have not experienced or witnessed somewhere in life.
Some sketches are classic pieces of pop-culture in my eyes such as 'Cricket', 'Sleepytime', 'Hammerbarn', and 'Pass the Parcel' to name just a small few.
The strongest compliment I can say is that if all parents in the world were like Bandit and Chilli, eventually there might finally be peace on Earth.
Of course these are all idealised situations, when in reality, life is more difficult than portrayed here. Children have tantrums and lash out, sometimes without reason and it is difficult to deal with. However, the philosophy of Bluey is definitely something to aspire towards.
