Yes, on several occasions, I found myself having tea and crumpets in the children’s Playhouse with my Grand Children in the park.
Late at night while searching the channels for a program to watch I will run across Bluey; and at that time I would stop and watch a couple of episodes before moving on. Thanks to my Granddaughter…my wife would comment, Bluey, It appears to be your favorite late night program…..

Love the topic, but she or someone should’ve moved her microphone. It sounds like we’re in her mouth.
@andycordy5190

Unusually for TED, the sound of the speaker is brittle and harsh with the mic position primarily to blame. I notice someone has commented on the pacing. I think this talk would sound more creditable with a more natural speech but perhaps fearing for the clarity of the delivery has had an impact on that.

• 🔵 “Bluey” is a global hit children’s show created in Brisbane, following the adventures of the Heeler family: Bluey, Bingo, Bandit, and Chilli.
• 👨👩👧👦 Each episode offers a slice of life, delving into life lessons and parenting nuances through a playful lens of childhood imagination, appealing to both kids and adults.

• 🎭 The show portrays disabilities, neurodivergence, anxiety, divorce, infertility, bullying, and death in a way that is digestible for younger audiences and prompts important conversations.
7:22 🇦🇺 Nostalgia and Escapism: A Comforting Experience
• 🇦🇺 The show captures quintessential childhood experiences, evoking nostalgia, especially for Australians who recognize familiar scenes like crows, bin chickens, and trips to the hardware store.

With no context of who this person is or why she, a non-parent, feels so entitled to speak about the appeal of Bluey to adults, I don’t know why I should give a crap about what she has to say. She just comes across like a weeb talking about their favourite anime.

Bluey is 1 of the few shows about family life, in which the father is a not a mumbling idiot.
Bandit is a great dad & a great husband. It is good to see such characters on TV.

Hi, American here: Bluey is literally amazing, it has NO, 0, NONE adult-themes, American-propaganda, inappropriate topics, etc, and the massive part of it’s allure is that Bluey showcases a Competent, Loving, absolutely ADORING Father. It really is, a once in a generation show that bridges very young and very old, I <3'd watching it with my kiddo when she was little and still enjoyed stuff like that lol

Cats and Dogs made into human like characters is the core of modern children TV and digital entertainment so they like dogs and cats more than humans touch in thier coming life that no one bothered.
