Bluey

Massive kudos to the makers and cast. Who needs kids as an excuse to watch this? Brilliant stuff and long overdue for this country to be producing something of this calibre. Whoever voices Bluey and Bingo deserve individual recognition too. Clever, entertaining and hugely amusing. If this doesn't rank up there with Peppa Pig and the plethora of other great British kids' shows, there really is no justice.

It is rare that any program, let alone a kids tv show, makes you want to be a better parent, and then shows you how. But this family of dogs does just that. Mum works and Dad does everything he can to be a loving carer who fosters imagination and play. The lessons are subtle, cased in layers of imagination and humour and end up hitting you right in the heart. I consider myself a pretty good parent, but Bluey shows me how to be a better one. And dare I say it, it has fostered a closer relationship to my daughter as a result. Yep. It is that good.

Simply impossible to explain this show. Nothing I write will do it justice. I've been around since The Magic Roundabout, The Flumps, Captain Pugwash, Tom and Jerry, Scooby Doo... Nothing from that era, or today's attempts like Peppa Pig, or anything in-between, come anywhere near to the standards of Bluey.

I sit with my young daughter (not that you need a young one to watch this,) and I'm laughing hard one minute, and fighting off the tears the next.

The creators, in fact the whole team from the story writer, to the animators, to the sound and music team, and especially to the actors... And every single other person involved... Are purely fantastic human beings.

If you listen from a distance it doesn't sound scripted half the time, it just sounds like an amazing family having fun. Most of the stories hit home, hard. Every character has amazing depth and are so loveable. Every single episode has something unique and amazing in it.

What did I learn from this? These kids are awesome.

I created an IMDB account just so I could say how fabulous this show is.

Endlessly creative, clever, heart warming, topical, this is one of the best shows for little ones on TV. The animation is gorgeous, the writing is brilliant. I find myself watching episodes even when the kids aren't there. The voice acting is incredible with special mention going to the actors who do Bluey and the dad (someone needs to update their IMDB page). The relationship between the dad and his kids is inspiring. The games the kids play together and with their parents are so clever. I now re-enact them with my own kids. This show could be huge, both here and overseas. I feel strangely proud that it's made by Australia. Well done, bravo, keep up the good work. Fav. eps: Takeaway, Shadowlands, The Magic Xylophone, The Hospital

Also, the theme music and music throughout is fantastic.
