Such a lovely show! It’s always fun to see examples of how it takes so much intention to make something that appears simple.

For any adults who have either never heard of Bluey, or never thought of watching a “kids” show, maybe try to an episode the next time you can’t figure out what to stream next. “Sleepy time” (season 2 episode 26) is one of the most renown, but they’re all pretty good!

"Flat Pack" (S2 E24) and "Baby Race" (S2 E49) Are my most favorite and bring out tears every time.

Then there is "Granny Mobile" (S3 E33) which cracks me up every time.

Even my 7 year old daughter knows this and uses Bluey to cheer me up if I am in sour mood.

Don't even get me started on Shaun the Sheep. My daughter and I have re-watched everything there is about Shaun the Sheep and laugh in anticipation before the funny things actually happen.

Edit: I absolutely love the minisodes where Bandit tells kids bedtime stories (Goldilocks and Three little pigs). I wouldn't be surprised if the voice actor just went off and made up bunch of stuff which they animated later.

My wife and I cry tears of laughter everytime Sean shows up.

And for those new to this - don’t miss the episode Cricket (3,47) which makes my wife tear up everytime.

The ability to tell a clear and focused narrative that has humor and a lesson in 8 minutes is stunning to me. I have legitimately used it with grad students learning to write a paper. Nothing is wasted, not a line not a shot.

Follow up recommendations: Camping (s1e43) and The Creek (s1e29). But TBH there's so many good ones it's hard to pick. Hammerbarn is hilarious too.

The Pool (s1e22).

They accuse mum of fussing while dad's all about fun, but soon come to realise there's good reason mum makes a fuss, and everyone starts having less of a good time when they realise they needed those things mum was fussing about.

(I'm dad).

That episode perfectly describes my experience as a father of a toddler. I'll decide on a whim to taking him hiking only to discover half-way through that I didn't bring enough snacks for him and forgot his water shoes at home. So now I'm out with a cranky toddler who's hungry and can't play in the river. I've learned to accept my wife's 30-minute packing phase to send us on our way with everything we need.

Absolutely; I think that's one of those things some of us learn the hard way; I don't know that it's specifically a dad thing, but at least for me and my wife; she's a planner, I'm a "FIWB"; If I think I can quickly fit a fun activity in by grabbing the keys and being in the car in the next 30 seconds we go, if we had to plan it we might not have time, but it's not necessarily always the best approach.

I look forward (though not rushing for) a time when the children are old enough that I can say "grab your coats and be at the car in 2 minutes" and we can just go do something fun on a whim, carpe diem, and all that.

I've started to come around to realizing that the van isn't the size it is because of the number of kids, it's because the thing should be packed full of "emergency" supplies so that you CAN grab the kid and run somewhere (within view of the van).

So far it's mainly a change of clothes (for everyone!), diapers, pacifiers, bottles, and water, but that's going to grow.

long-life snack food (couple different types of nuts, salty crackers), umbrellas, a large towel (for putting around someone who's cold, drying someone, or sitting on at the beach or on grass), plastic bags (for putting muddy/wet/sandy shoes into),
