Is what I hear regularly from my three year old. He see the show being about Bingo! :)
The whole family loves it. Plenty of great jokes for parents and the kids love it.

"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!

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.

My 6 year old is obsessed and so am I. So good to have a kids show from Australia with aussie themes and humour. Congratulations to all involved with this show, you deserves to "sit and watch the cricket"
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
Did you know
- TriviaBandit (dad) is an archaeologist. Chilli (mum) works part time at the airport in customs. Both jobs are analogous to real life dogs. Bandit digs up bones, and Chilli is a sniffer dog.
- GoofsWhen Bluey and Bingo crash their toy car into the sandpit, the underside can be seen as solid. In other episodes, their feet go through the floor to push the car along.
- Crazy creditsThe title credits has the Heeler family playing a game of Musical Statues, whereby anyone who remains dancing when the music stops is considered 'out' and watches the remainder of the game from the sideline.
- Alternate versionsInternational airings use edited versions of some episodes, removing some rude humor. Few episodes were later edited in its original country to remove "discriminatory terms".
