Page 4 | To wish I was Chilli

I’m pretty envious, what a lovely life 😩

Scaryspicer · 27/07/2026 21:49

I like Bandit in small doses, but I have a feeling he would be a bit like ‘Daniel’ in Mrs Doubtfire and he would never be serious. Couldn’t be married to him long term he would drive me mad.

It's clearly not 'pretty obvious.' I didn't know who the OP was on about, and neither did a few other posters!

Why assume if you have heard of something/someone, that everyone else has heard of it?!

And I STILL do not know who Chilli Heeler is!

Why bother with the thread then? You do not know who Chilli is. You do not know if op is being unreasonable. It doesn't seem like the thread for you really.

The Heelers have better sexual chemistry than most on-screen couples. That one where they kiss in the swimming pool, or the backpacking role-play one.

Bluey quite often makes me cry. The one where Chilli is worried about Bluey walking, then at the end of the episode Bluey walks towards her in the kitchen (when Chilli's washing up) because she must have 'seen something she wanted'😪. Or the beach. Or the one with Bluey and the French boy/dog at the campsite.

Such a good programme.

The sign. Has me in tears every single time. 😢😩❤️

Flinderskleepers · 27/07/2026 21:31

Bandit's clearly having it off her with her next door though, you know, Wendy the poodle?

😂🙈 none of these are that funny or beautiful or have amazing life lessons in them for children and adults, or show diversity in the way bluey does. I will caveat that Daniel tiger does all these things too. But bluey and DT are the two best shows on tv for life lessons for kids and easy watching for adults!

Show quote history

That’s a shame you think that way as some of these programmes are incredible and have stood the test of time, but then I think Bluey is absolutely awful and only influenced my smallest DC to do some really annoying things (thankfully they got over the programme quite quickly) it’s good that we all appreciate different things in life!

Also if you think that programmes like Frog and Toad don’t have beautiful lessons then you should try it again. The books are phenomenal and have stood the test of time.

saffy2 · 27/07/2026 21:26

Mushr00mMagee · 27/07/2026 20:03

for example,

Funnybones
Bertha
Trapdoor
Frog and Toad (much better as a book though)
Brambly Hedge (ditto)
Grizzly Tales for Gruesome Kids
Tales of The riverbank (60s version)
and I loved Watch With Mother too.

Good stories, lovely animation, no annoying dad or older kid!

Had no idea, that’s a huge amount of money

Show quote history

I can imagine it is quite the money spinner.

I love that the kids are voiced by kids and the kids are uncredited. imagine the pressure...

also that the name and colouring meant k lots of people thought she was a boy which meant lots of boys got to love her before any "girls show" nonsense.

prem baby episode make me cry every time

the learning to walk one should be compulsory viewing. the way poodle mom has her back

You are being so unreasonable to expect people to know what the fuck your post was about. The addition of "Heeler", still doesn't make anything any more obvious.

Yes, I've seen from the thread comments what you're banging on about but why the fuck write a post that so many people won't have a fucking clue what you're talking about in the first place?!

Context matters.

Urg what a tiresome post. Trying to make it an “in” thing for those who know…..just explain yourself properly in the OP or don’t bother posting. I do know who Chilli is, as my kid are Bluey fans, however still find your deliberate vagueness irritating. Clearly lots of people wont know what you’re on about…..

I’m sorry but you do sound a bit bitter and lacking in joy, sorry 😔

as kids shows go, I’m a fan of Bluey. I cannot stand Bing or Peppa Pig or lots of others. But Bluely is gentle and the family are kind to each other. And it is at times funny and emotional.

On a commercial note, Bluey is among the most successful kids shows for years - it has travelled across the world. It’s a $2bn franchise or something and shows in 140 countries and there are theme park rides etc. It’s won an Emmy. So I’d argue at least a good chunk of the world is at least somewhat familiar with it. (Had three child-free 40-something friends over yesterday for dinner and they mentioned loving Bluey).

Had no idea, that’s a huge amount of money

Bloatstoat · 27/07/2026 20:55

I'd rather be Janelle.

I don't have the patience to be Chilli and I'd prefer to be married to Pat than Bandit.

ToastAndApricotJam · 27/07/2026 20:54

I do like Bluey but I don’t understand why Peppa gets so much hate compared to it, especially when the creator of Bluey is from the Peppa Pig team. Bluey is essentially what Peppa would have been if it was created in the mid 2010s (all gentle parenting). Peppa was created in peak Simpsons era and it shows.

I think the team did a deal with the devil to make addictive kids programming 😂

Specifically on Chilli I’m on the team that feel a bit sorry for her because Bandit is such a smug Disney dad! I very much identify with the episode where she needs 20 minutes to herself 😂😂

I did also have to take a Bluey break in our house because the DC were ‘inspired’ by the way the characters use every item of furniture in the house to make elaborate sets for their games.

Pjsaremyfaveoutfit · 27/07/2026 20:15

Good point, I’d say the same about a fair few kids shows, this is different though and always nice to be involved or a part of what the kids are watching

Show quote history

My kid likes SpongeBob which I don’t mind if it’s the early ones, Alvin and the chipmunks which has its moments and various Barbie cartoons which can also be genuinely funny at times. Same with Loud House.
She goes on and off Bluey. It was a breath of fresh air in the beginning compared to stuff like Peppa but I know all of the episodes back and forth by now and I’m glad she likes slightly “older” cartoons.
I watch animated shows for adults in my own time so I think that’s why Bluey doesn’t really do anything for me.

Royaly82 · 27/07/2026 20:40

Ive got 5 kids and I had no idea who you were talking about. Even after the chilli heeler comment. Then when I saw the bluey comment its suddenly clicked 🤦‍♀️🤣
So definitely not obvious (I thought you were talking about the awful heat!)

It is not your place to tell people where and when they post, or on what threads. Clearly LOTS of people had no idea what or who the OP was talking about. And they were entitled to say so. It's a free country. Maybe you should 'chill out.'
