Pay walled but I assume it's "somethingsomething parents actually like watching it too." Since that seems to be everyone's reaction, including mine. My 20 something sister with no kid watches it.

Agreed. It's also just beautiful.

I love Bluey. I was raised with Heeler dogs so that was major for my initial openness to the show. I may like the show more than my son does even!

Pretty much spot on, it has a couple funny quotes like the Bluey episode about a cricket match beating the ratings of the actual cricket match, and how the ABC (Australia's BBC) gave the international rights to the British BBC (which was a rather colossal mistake).

That's been my experience; my spouse and I watched three seasons of Bluey, maybe 80% after our child went to bed. It's a visual parenting manual.

Haha - this is what I told someone the other day. Brandon (Bluey’s dad) is a source of inspiration for me. I’ve put his lighthearted parenting tricks to work with much success!
