Im so surprised at the hate bluey gets! It seems like soo many kids love it. I’ve a watched a few episodes here and there but definitely not enough to really make a stance or judgement on it. The ones i have seen have been light hearted and actually funny to watch

I’ve never watched Bluey so I don’t have an opinion about the show. I do think parents should point out good and bad behaviours depicted in the show so that their children know what is acceptable and what isn’t.

We are indeed very fortunate to live in a country where we have choice about what is watched. There are plenty of shows that I choose and the family choose to not watch. There are a wealth of shows to choose from via the TV and other services and Bluey is a winner with us.

We all have different opinions likes and dislikes. Personally I think the solution when you dislike a program is simply; stop watching and turn the television off. Personally I also do not feel the need to share this negative opinion and crack this program down. Other people like it and that is totally fine and should be respected.

I’ve never watched it myself, but from what I have picked up on from reading what others are saying, the consensus is that it’s a good show that teaches family values with some Aussie humour thrown in. I think the voices in the above article are a minority and saying things like when do the parents do normal adult things? Seriously? It’s a kid’s show only showing snippets of life and those snippets are the things a young child would be interested in watching. I don’t think any kid wants to watch adults sitting on the couch ‘scrolling’. It might be real life, but it’s not entertaining.

Everyone has a different opinion on what they think is good and not good. I think Bluey is harmless and is a great show for kids. I think adults should take the show as a show, it isn’t real and you need to remember that. The real world is very different to what is portrayed in a show.

My baby granddaughter loves “In the Night Garden” I however would rather watch the paint dry on the wall. So who am I to judge.
Nieces, Nephews and grandies like Bluey however I must confess I have not really watched an episode. Gagging by the response to the ornaments Bunnings put out the Blue Heeler is very popular.

I don’t know that it’s smart to use any TV show as a “complete” model for parenting (or life) – there’s good and bad in all of them, and they’re hardly reality in most cases. I think Bluey is much better than some shows, but yeah, I’m not trying to model myself on the dogs!

Everyone has free choice about what is watched in their home and parents do have control when children are younger about TV content. If a show is unappealing then select a different show or turn off the TV. Parenting comes from parents and even when I was a child there was concern about shows from particular parents; nevertheless all turned out ok!

Lol, recommending a new dad to watch Bluey for parenting tips ? That’s just too funny !
Aw well, people have their thoughts about all kind of things and we all have our preferences in regards to television programs for ourselves and for our kids (or we don’t watch television at all, like myself). Good that there is so much choice out there.

I always love the criticism that the parents play with them too much or are too engaged. As if the alternative of an episode of the Bluey and Bingo watching tv for 20 minutes would make for riveting viewing. (And we see the parents scrolling their phones when the kids go to bed)
As a Mum who has watched all the episodes with my toddler, and cried at more than one, I really appreciate their approach to story telling and character building. They show challenges being overcome, compromise and understanding. I also love the Australian -isms found throughout. Curried sausages, swooping magpies, cricket, state of origin.

Would you believe it when I say I never watched any single Bluey episode ? The matter of fact is I never did, so I can’t really give an opinion. My youngest has a Bluey jigsaw puzzle and a Bluey camping truck to play with but doesn’t watch the program ever.
