@TarkabarkaHolgy The thing about Bandit is in the first season he was competent, a caregiver, all that stuff that gave the show a good reputation. But later he became more and more like the stereotype, beside his hyper-competent ultimate authority stereotype Mum. He even picked up a weight problem, which is weird because they're all identical rectangles. But the reputation remained.
I saw a headline the other day that said “Everything has to end, even Bluey”. Obviously I refused to click on it. What I don’t know can’t hurt me.
They let SpongeBob SquarePants run for 14+ seasons despite constant articles over those years (though perhaps more earlier on) about how SpongeBob in particular was rotting kids’ brains.
Bluey is too dang wholesome to call it quits after a mere 3. #parenting#Bluey
It's barely 7am and I've already spent two hours parenting before a full ten hour shift at work. In short, it's been rough.
To make it worse. My kids just put on the latest episode of #Bluey.
I am not emotionally or physically able to handle this emotional abuse before work, but alas, here we are. Thoughts and Prayers please. It's gonna get messy. And that's before I even start at work.
I sat down and watched "Ghost Basket" and "The Sign" with my kids this afternoon. They liked it but were doing other things at the same time, while I, on the other hand, was watching with rapt attention. I'm sure now more than ever that #Bluey is an adult show that appeals to kids instead of vice versa!
Having watched "The Sign" I'm even more convinced that #Bluey is amongst the best TV ever made for any age group. What an emotional rollercoaster that was.
@Floppy it is a pure work of art, in every sense. The animation, the music, the storytelling. I feel very lucky to be able to experience it with a little boy who likes to rewatch it a lot.
I get why some people are disappointed about the commercialization of #Bluey into a merchandise powerhouse.
AND as a #parent who spent the last 5 years seeing requests for non-existent toys and books for Octonauts, Owl House, and Gravity Falls, it's a freaking relief to have something to purchase.
@amcasari Octonauts is pretty good, so I guess I'll have to let my children check out Gravity Falls. And maybe Owl House, if recommended by a fellow parent of Bluey fans.
@vwbusguy When I was Bluey's age I moved from Kansas to Tennessee with my parents so the whole episode my heart broke for what Bluey was going through. And then the ending, oh man. Best episode by and far.
@jwestall_com I moved my kids to a new city 3 years ago and can totally relate to wondering if we were doing the right thing the whole time. It's certainly been a new adventure!
