    It’s very popular among children and the parents of those children seem to like it a lot too.

    Very popular here.

    My fiancĆ©e and I frequently babysit my nephews (they’re cute and it’s practice for kids). They adore it.Ā

    We dig it! One of the few shows I’m ok with my nephews watching

    Everything from “never watched it” to “where was this when I was a kid”.Ā

    There’s an entire Bluey section in the toys department at my local department store. It’s huge here.

    It’s parents least hated kids show.Ā

    In my experience people love it. My niece and nephew loved it and my brother, who is an adult with only an infant too young to watch it, is obsessed. I’d be hard pressed to find a little kid or parent of small children who doesn’t know BlueyĀ

    It’s probably the most popular show for that age demographic at the moment

    It’s on 24/7 at my sister’s place for her kids.

    My 2-1/2 year odd grandson loves it. Has all the merch as well.

    My niece ADORES it. To the point where it’s actually kinda annoying. I’m worried that the only word she says until the age of 12 will be ā€œBLUEY!ā€ holy crap. Still adorable, but oh my god.

    At least it isn’t dora or frozen šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

    Love it, and I don’t even have little kids 🤣

    It must be really popular, because I see Bluey stuff everywhere: backpacks, diapers, books, coloring books, even Bluey cereal.

  21. GreenDecent3059 Avatar

    Very popular. I even know adults who watch it.

  22. Doodlebug365 Avatar

    I’ve been a preschool teacher for 7 years – It’s been very popular since Covid!

    I love it myself & watch it with my niece & nephew, whenever they come over. My 2 year old nephew is currently obsessed, and it’s what we watched while he was home sick during Easter.

  23. janegrey1554 Avatar

    My kids love it. I find myself very entertained by it. My 2 year old is very proud of the Bluey comforter on her bed.

    It’s huge here and has been for a while. Even older kids seem to love it. I worked my kid’s book fair last week and even the sixth graders were excited about the new Bluey books.

    It’s a great kid show. My little nephews love it.

  30. Pizzaface1993 Avatar

    It’s really popular but I found it too chaotic. I’d rather my children watch something a little more laid back and quiet like little bear or blues clues. Bluey and Bingo are pretty cheeky, and kids imitate that.Ā 

  31. tlonreddit Avatar

    Too popular here.

  32. PurpleLilyEsq Avatar

    I don’t have kids, don’t babysit, never watch kids channels, etc. etc. and I’ve heard that Bluey is one of the best kids TV programs out there.

    Extremely popular.

  40. StereoSabertooth Avatar

    Extremely popular, personally one of my favorite shows actually lol. I think it beautifully captures parenting and can teach both young and older folks many great skills.

    It’s cringe but I’ll even do the “take out your anger and throw it away” thing at times. It really helps ^^

    I love bluey!! I have no children and watch it.

  43. Bright_Ices Avatar

    It’s amazing and everyone I know who is aware of it loves it.Ā 

  44. JonnyBox Avatar

    My boy loves Bluey.

    Bluey is way less baby-crackish than Cocomelon, and isn’t a piece of shit like Peppa Pig, so I’m on board as well.

  45. ophaus Avatar

    My kids haven’t ever watched stuff like that, so I don’t really have an opinion.

  46. Lacylanexoxo Avatar

    lol. We put bluey on for my dog every time we leave the house. He used to get paw patrol

  47. BigNorseWolf Avatar

    Its the only kids show that doesn t seem to think kids are idiots. Its actually watchable by adults

  48. WaddlesJP13 Avatar

    The department store I work at is FILLED with Bluey toys, clothes, bedding, bath towels, etc. It’s insane how prominent it became over the past few years.

    I sometimes experience ad nauseum over it with how everywhere it is, but I’d rather hear about kids watching that than something that is practically deteriorating their brains like Cocomelon is.

  49. despotic_wastebasket Avatar

    I recently volunteered at a local festival, and one of the big attractions was someone dressed in a big Bluey mascot costume taking pictures with the children.

    My friend works in a children’s hospital and he tells me that Bluey is extremely popular among the kids.

  50. buffladylover300 Avatar

    Because it’s child and family oriented

  51. scottwax Avatar

    My granddaughters are big fans.

  52. RainbowberryForest Avatar

    Because it’s for kids? I’ve only seen clips of it and it seems like a cute, fun show that adults could enjoy but it’s obviously made with really young kids as the primary demographic.

    Nothing wrong with kids media though, I enjoy plenty of kids’ cartoons.

    Also Bluey adults online weird me out a little, but the same can be said for any obsessive fandom where grown adults center their whole identities around a certain IP.

  53. grassman76 Avatar

    I prefer Paw Patrol, but don’t dislike Bluey. My daughter (now 5YO) exclusively watched Paw Patrol when she was younger. My son is 18 months and has a cousin only 2 weeks younger. My sister in law had a bunch of Bluey toys and clothes for her daughter, now my 2 kids love Bluey after discovering it through their cousin and aunt.

    Bluey is huge here. There is Bluey merch in almost every store. My kids have gone to several Bluey themed birthday parties and we had one for my youngest two years ago. It is a really great show to watch as a family and even my friend who doesn’t have kids has seen every episode.

    it’s very popular with kids over here.

    As a former owner of a blue heeler, I’m glad to see the profile raised of Australian Cattledogs. They’re such good dogs.

    I know so many children who are obsessed with it.

    My husband went to Melbourne for a month, and I made him bring some Bluey merch back. We were able to tell my friends daughter it was from where Bluey was from and she was sooo excited.

    My kid is grown, but I love Bluey. I love that it’s actually voiced by kids, and not adults pretending to be kids.

    Scooby-Doo, Clifford the big red dog, and Blue’s Clues are all better, unless you’re under 5 years old then you are obsessed with bluey

    It’s certainly one of if not the most popular small children’s show in this country right now.

    I know adults whose kids are grown who totally love it. Ā Very, very popular. Ā There are little kids going to pre school with Australian accents, apparently.

  84. Chapea12 Avatar

    I feel like everytime I turn on Disney channel, Bluey is on. Which is great, because my son loves Bluey. All of his cousins and friends love Bluey. I love Bluey. The show is wonderful and possibly the best young kids tv show in a really long time

    I think most kids and adults know Bluey. It’s very popular and I was technically forced to watch it, so I got used to waking up in the morning and seeing it on.

    It’s genuinely not a bad show and pretty entertaining honestly… (Yes I’m 16 watching kid shows.)

    Our daughter is 15 so we missed Bluey, but Wife teaches K-5 music so we know Bluey.

    The jokes and situations that will totally go over a kid’s head are just hilarious. Wale Watching? Yup been there, done that, got the t-shirt. šŸ˜‚

  96. copious_cogitation Avatar

    I remember when my kids first started watching this show, when it first arrived in the US, there was like no mass-produced Bluey merchandise to be found. I looked because I really wanted to get my kids a shirt or something, and there just wasn’t much available outside of custom stuff on Etsy. But now there’s tons of product tie in with toys, clothes, stationery, lunch boxes, etc.

    No lie, thanks to this show, my kids now speak with Australian terms for things, and also correct me if I use the regular American word. Ex. they’ll call the trash cans “bins” or say “ip dip sky blue” instead of “eenie meenie miney moe.” They always want to listen to the Bluey songs by Joff Bush on Spotify. This show has made a big impact on them.

    I mostly love the show, it’s very creative and high quality, but it kind of annoys me at times how the parents are always playing with the kids and never telling the kids they can’t play with them at the moment. My kids will constantly be trying to, like suddenly make me be heavy while I’m cooking dinner or something, or activate “dance mode,” and expect me to play along with the game every single time. The show sets the bar really high for being constantly playful, engaged parents!

  100. RodenbachBacher Avatar

    It’s great. I have a close friend who is Australian and now we live far apart. It reminds me of him. But, better yet, I didn’t grow up with my father around much. As a parent, I want my kids to have many things. Above all, I want them to be good people and to know much they are truly loved. I’m far from perfect but I try to be the best dad I can be. What I love is that Bandit shows how much he loves his girls. He’s not the bumbling dad but truly wants his kids to be cared for. I don’t know, man. I wouldn’t watch this on my own but, when it’s on, I love watching it with my kids. There’s plenty of episodes that are emotional. Especially the nighttime one with Holst playing. Great show.

  101. flootytootybri Avatar

    As a 21 year old without a kid, it’s adorable. The kind of TV we wish we grew up with. It’s one of the shows that the parents seem to love just as much as the kids and that’s rare!

  121. aahorsenamedfriday Avatar

    Y’all nailed it with Bluey. It has a unique quality about it that makes kids love it but also makes it resonate with parents in a very heavy way. It’s often described as a love letter to parents disguised as a kid’s show, and that feels pretty accurate. My daughter loves it because it’s about dogs and it’s colorful. I love it because it has taught me to step back and appreciate the trials and triumphs of parenthood.

    It’s insanely popular. Bluey is the reason my kid stopped calling me “Mama” and started calling me “mom” and I was mad about it but we didn’t stop watching it. It makes me cry on a regular basis.

    It’s really popular here. I’m personally not a fan. My kid likes it so I put it on for him. I recognize it’s not a bad show and definitely not the worst thing your kid could watch. I am just still adjusting to being a parent and watching kids shows and have not grown a liking for any of them yet. My husband doesn’t mind it though.

  149. Firecrackershrimp2 Avatar

    I can’t stand it. BUT I’m a hatet for a lot of popular shows. My son watches bluey at the babysitters house i refuse to play it at home, he’s a pp or Thomas the train or blues clues fan. He owns nothing bluey and I swear to God I’m so out of the loop with this show bluey is the black one right? I can’t name any characters.

A LOT of people love Bluey or their kids or grandkids love Bluey so it really just hits them like a lightening bolt when they see it and they have the biggest smile!

    If I had kids I wouldn’t make them watch it. It’s lame and devoid of humor. Young adults in 15 years are going to be so boring. Imagine listening to them quote bluey like we quote spongebob. May god have mercy on us all.
