As a father of two daughters, I'm convinced the writers of Bluey have cameras in my house /s. There are so many times we have had a similar experience to one of the episodes. As my kids are now older than Bluey and Bingo, they still get excited when a new episode is released. We love Bluey in our house.

The first episode I ever saw was "Takeaway" (dad and kids are waiting 5 minutes outside the Chinese takeaway restaurant). It so perfectly hit on not only the actual experiences from my life but how it _felt_ in the moment that I think I laughed until I cried. Then immediately made my wife watch it.

The episode referenced in the article ("Whale Watching" about the parents being hungover) is another that, while not my favourite or anything, is certainly one of those experiences you probably have as a parent that nobody's really talking about or making media about. Bluey's managing to be entertaining and wholesome for kids while hitting on a mostly untapped niche of "relatable parenting experiences".

With how much "junk food" TV is out there, Bluey's a real gem. For kids and parents alike.
