![]() ![]() Bingo pretends to be Bluey’s child, and progressively ‘grows up’ through the episode until, at the end, she leaves home (to fly a space ship, of course). This leaves Bluey on her own, all old and not sure what happens next. I’ll leave it at that, but if the last 30 seconds of this episode leaves you cold without even a flicker of something in your tummy, you must be a rock. We love you, Bandit…! Bluey Season 3 episode list coming soon! Special note – this episode also contains the immortal quote from Bandit, “I’m not taking advice from a cartoon dog”, which is itself advice I am not taking. Those are our top 5 episodes of Bluey to make you cry from Season 1 and 2. ![]() They are available to watch on BBC iPlayer and Disney+ in the UK. We’ve only got the first half of Season 3 here in the UK at time of writing.I’m upstairs and the kids are downstairs watching “Bluey.” I can tell from the music that it’s the episode called “Sleepytime” in which Bluey’s mom, Chili, tucks in Bluey’s little sister Bingo for the night after reading her a book about the solar system. The story follows Bingo as she falls asleep and hatches out of an Earth-shaped egg shell into a surreal galactic dreamscape. Then the show splits into two points of view: Bingo swimming through space and the rest of the Heeler household (Bluey, Chili, and dad, Bandit) as they struggle to find sleep and stay asleep. If you, like any reasonable adult who does not have a preschool-aged child in their household, have never heard of “Bluey,” here’s the rundown: “Bluey” is a cartoon on Disney+ about a family of Australian Cattle Dogs who also conveniently live in Australia and eat things like “brekkie” (breakfast) and become indignant when other pups aren’t “playing properly.” Annie now informs me that I’m “not playing properly,” when I’m not playing exactly the way she wants me to, which makes her very difficult to take seriously and also makes me feel a little bit shamed for both not playing “properly” and also not talking fancily. They are very imaginative and their parents Bandit and Chili are the type of parents you’d want to be friends with and aspire to be more like as a human. Like, I’ve never watched an animated show in which I’ve coveted the animated furnishings (except for maybe Peppa Pig’s camper van, which could double as a mobile she shed that I could disappear into whenever the members of my household got too loud or demanding), but I would legit Pin-terest their whole house if I could. The mid-century modern light fixture in their living room? The coolest. And don’t even get me started on the the stained glass transoms! The alpine-inspired cutouts over the doorways? Whimsical. We watch a lot of “Bluey” around here, which is easy to do because each episode is less than 10 minutes long. The show focuses on these pockets of everyday experience. Waiting for take out (or, “Takeaway,” rather).Ī visit to the local home improvement store (it’s called the Hammerbarn – if you’ve been into a Lowes or a Home Depot, it’s the animated version of that). There’s an entire episode focused on Bluey and Bingo trying not to let a balloon touch the ground for a game called Keepy Uppy. Any episode where Bluey and Bingo pretend to be their Grannie alter egos Rita and Janet is highly amusing. ![]() “Bluey” always leads with imagination, humor, and relatable life situations. And it never shies away from big feelings and tender, earnest humanity (albeit in dog form). Which brings us back to “Sleepytime,” an episode that perfectly captures the long nights of early parenthood. ![]()
