Just a reminder, Disney didn't show the episode "Dad Baby" in the US because they were concerned about backlash... Its a good episode.

Its a great episode
Ok, I’m out of the loop on this one. Why bluey? It’s a great snow. Love to watch it with my kids because of the Easter eggs for the adults.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it probably teaches compassion and humanity?
Oh my, there are so many reasons. Let me share some of the bullshit I've heard.
-
They're girls, so boys won't watch it. (Park a kid in front of a cartoon and tell me they won't watch)
-
It teaches empathy, the right's most hated of human facets.
-
The parents are friends and parents shouldn't be friends - they should be parents. This was said by my brother in law who is big into spanking.
-
These are TV and not real kids. Real kids don't play like that.

It's unrealistic parenting. (Admittedly, Chili, Bandit, and Lucky's dad must be in a workshop together with how quick they "yes, and")
The conservative response for most of this was some chinchilla based knock off that had no lessons for parents and just a morality message embedded in it like a Saturday morning cartoon. That only had 1 season. Bluey is at 3 and a movie.
I think it's great that the parenting is unrealisticly good; it gives us something to aspire to.
The conservatives I know all love Bluey, so OOTL with you lol
I would pay to watch Bandit jerk off all over some right-wingers. Lucky's dad's rules..
With one big prize in the middle
They always find some kids show to obssess about. First it were the Teletubbies, then Spongebob, now Bluey.
