Oh man, you should see a pantomime, a literal kid-focused theatre genre from the UK!

can I watch this episode adhoc, or do I need to watch the rest? emotional entertainment really gets me
I disagree a bit with the sibling commenter. This episode falls into about the second season of the show midway through. So putting yourself into that context: you’re watching something like 35 episodes of this show and it’s cute and wholesome and the stories are great, some with some emotional impact, but then you get to this episode and it just absolutely blindsides you. So, I think it will _make sense_ on its own,…
Are you referring to how it references the fact that parents will eventually leave their kids when they die?
That’s only mentioned indirectly by the mom, no?
Is there a deeper story that I am missing?
Just watched The Wiggles documentary on Netflix. They were big when my kids were young and they are from Australia. I have heard of Bluey but didn't know it was also from Australia. They know something about kid shows there, apparently.
The Australian government runs a fully funded free-to-air children's TV channel, called ABC Kids. Without knowing much about what other countries are doing, I can probably assume it one of the best children's content creators of its kind in the world. The channel is required to make a certain percentage of Australian content, and without the need to worry about advertising, subscriber numbers and merchandising revenu…
The US has PBS Kids. They produced plenty of shows like Bluey, such as Arthur, Dragon Tales, Clifford the Big Red Dog and Sesame Street, and a bunch of others. Idk what the lineup is like today though, my experience is from the 90s-2000s.
In Canada, CBC also had CBC Kids, but the content was garbage and not young children friendly, so most parents ended up having us watch PBS or Family Channel (what Disney Channel was called in Canada) instead.
The UK has CBeebies on BBC which had fairly decent content, and often co-produced with PBS.
Bluey is a godsend in our household. It's not annoying and the amount of classical and original music woven into each episode is wonderful. There's one particular episode - "Sleepytime" - which I cannot bring myself to watch anymore because I get so emotional. Every parent I talk to with young kids who has seen the episode agrees and knows what I mean. It's really that good, and despite being a fun little show there…
I CANNOT WATCH THAT ONE, IT MAKES ME CRY. I just wish they'd say what the music is in the credits - my wife and I often hear something that's familiar but can't put our finger on what it is.

I feel like I'm the only parent on planet Earth that really doesn't like Bluey. Every time I watch it(which is often, my son likes it), it just seems to be promoting bad behaviour at the expense of the dad(like many other shows to be fair - looking at you Peppa Pig), including physical violence(one episode the kids decide the dad now has a stomach ache, so they punch him in the gut - and the dad just plays along with…
Compared to what I was brought up with (The Simpsons etc) it's nice that children are not only taught interesting values but also what the values of parents are
