    My baby is only 3 months old so I need prepare for when he is old enough for kids tv. What makes Bluey so good?

      Most kids TV is just mindless repetitive garbage. Bluey is actually just genuinely, good, well-written TV. I’ve heard people say that it’s not really a kid’s show that parents like to watch, it’s a parent show that kids also like to watch.

      I haven’t watched it much, but my wife really likes it. My advice is simply to avoid Caillou, unless you want your kids to be bratty, whiny, and possibly bald.

      Our kid is 2 1/2 and the best advice I can give (if you live in the US) is to download the PBS kids app. As you can imagine I’m concerned what shows my kid is exposed to and the stuff on PBS kids is great. Some of the stuff like Arthur seems to be targeted at kids a little older but shows like Daniel Tiger and Sesame Street are great. It’s really awesome watching your kid sing along to some of the tunes. I’ve basically come to the conclusion that as long as it’s on the PBS kids app that it’s good to go.

      Other shows I’ve shown him off the app are the OG Thomas the Tank episodes and Peppa Pig, both of which I love too.

      I don’t know anything about Bluey but it seems to be pretty popular with parents so I’m sure that’s a good choice too.

      Mostly it’s very well written. Funny, sweet, educational for both kids and parents. The humor isn’t tacked on to keep kids’ attention; it’s woven into the story and lesson of each episode. Bluey is one of the few shows I enjoy watching with my kids, and it’s by far my favorite.
