We’re on our third watch now of The Sign, my eleven year old just randomly put it on again.

I did used to like Hey Duggee too, anyone remember the stick song?

YANBU. I watched Baby Race by myself after reading about it on here.

Honestly i do feel like Bluey is more for adults anyway! My 3 year old knows Bluey but it’s too dialogue heavy for him so he prefers Peppa at this age.

We no longer childmind our DGD on a regular basis as she's now started school,but DH and I are going to sit down today to watch the latest Bluey.We also binge-watched Hey Duggee last week to catch up with the newest episodes.It never fails to entertain. I also absolutely love In the Night Garden and Sarah and Duck and will continue to watch all of the above even if there's no child present😆In fact,I'd rather watch CBBC anyday than some of the rubbish offered on the 'Grown-up' channels at the moment!

Great now I am watching it because you guys made me not want to wait until after school finishes tomorrow 😂
tbf it’s my dog that likes it more than the preschooler

🤣 I was just on Reddit and people are defending Bluey as if their life depends on it! I really tried to enjoy it but I just can’t. I prefer Bing and he’s whiny as fuck!

We recently briefly considered a new job in a new city for DH and I really related to Chilli in that episode.

I thought they were going to go with message them moving and embracing the uncertainty etc and I was so glad when they didn't want chose to stay in their happy lives as they were Blush

Oh my goodness-the writers of Bluey are just geniuses! What a bloody fantastic episode.

SPOILER!!

We had talked about moving recently ourselves, as Bluey and co were trying to get Frisky to take the sign down my youngest says that that’s how he felt and he doesn’t want to ever leave the home he came home to from the hospital 😥

If you’re on your period, having a hard time or over emotional. Bring back up. I cried a river (although I have a newborn so maybe my emotions are clouded). I never thought I’d see the day I cried over a kids tv programme but it really got me! I love bluey.

I have a toddler too - I promise im not putting bluey on just for me and the 2 week old! Although I probably would 😂

Squirrelsnut · 15/04/2024 07:22

I watched Balamory on my own last week. DS is 17..

ringoffiire · 15/04/2024 07:19

It's a great thing to keep your inner child alive. There's nothing wrong with enjoying children's TV/ books/ films as an adult.

MadamWillYouTalk · 15/04/2024 07:15

I told my pre-teen at 8am yesterday that the new episode was available, I've never seen her get out of bed so fast 🤣 We all watched it together.

Danikm151 · 15/04/2024 07:08

Bluey is an adult show that kids can watch. Fact!

Zfactorstar · 15/04/2024 07:07

Do it. I watched an episode of the new my little ponies out of curiosity because I watched it as a kid but then I watched a few more episodes to finish up the storyline.

ALPHAFEMALESINCEBIRTH · 15/04/2024 01:46

i watch bluey by myself, im 43
my kids are 19 and 13 so im not watching it with toddlers
saw a post on how good it was months ago so gave it a go and love it

i watch it on disney plus

side note i also watch a lot of 80s/90s cartoons on youtube

CelesteCunningham · 14/04/2024 22:59

As someone who was so busy trying to cover my own sniffles that I didn't realise my six year old was also crying until the end Blush, maybe best to watch it childfree first. Blush

The song for ITNG gets me.

Ive just suggested to DH that we watch it and he’s just laughed at me, apparently Jeremy Vine was discussing it the other day so I can’t be that unreasonable

Show quote history

Yes, it’s so relaxing. The other one was yo gaba gaba, mine are teens now. So a while back. I was always singing it/screeching the song ‘party in my tummy’. Chicken ahah in my tummy, party party ahah.. cheese ahah….

Did you watch it @Deathbywhy (and are you ok 🤣)

Not yet, DH has the remote and I can’t be arsed getting up-he laughed at me when I suggested we watch it now 😂so I will save it for after work tomorrow, the thought of watching it might get me through a shitty day at work!

I put it on for my girls to watch this morning, when In fact, it was really for me because I really wanted to watch it!! 😄

This was me. Counting down till 8am to watch it and then casually "oh shall we watch some bluey, i think there's a new one" when obviously i've had it in my dairy for weeks in anticpation.

Such a good episode and some funny parts too. I'm still recovering from 2x watching it and 2x crying.
