Ooof fiction teaching Idealism. From Nietzsche to Plato, its agreed, fiction corrupts. One day the floury idealism will be seen not to work, and the damage will have already been done.

I've seen Bluey, it was funny, it taught some general concepts... but if my kids are going to watch TV, why not Bill Nye the Science Guy or similar?

Remember that these children's characters are corporate mascots, not friends.

how is Bill Nye any less of a character than Bluey's parents?

Sir, it's a show for toddlers that adults can watch and relate to. Watch the repetitiveness of Daniel Tiger or the brain destroying Cocomelon (which should be banned) then get back to me.

Bluey considered harmful? I won't hear of it. Get his ass.

"I'm not going to take advice from a cartoon dog" - is exactly one of the lines in the show.

There are shows geared to teach science in appropriate ways to kids in this same demographic. But that's not the point of Bluey -- it's modeling an ideal family, in a way that's understandable to young children, while being relatable for their parents to watch and appreciate along side with them. They represent a loving, functional family, that likes to have fun, and sometimes has hard issues to deal with, that children get to see. For some families it's an unattainable ideal, and for others it's a mirror of a modern 20-30yo parents raising young kids, complete with modern situations.

It's hard to stress out just how perfectly they nail a show that both kids + parents can watch, that they both find enjoyable, in this demographic, without pandering, or being annoying about it, because it's such a rare find.

The praise this franchise receives is extremely well deserved.

This comparison almost makes me wonder if you have kids.

Let your kids watch Bill Nye and then next thing you know they'll be into speedwalking and designing burger guns in the basement. IYKYK.
