Disney’s Bluey is winning the hearts of parents and kids around the world, but now even licensed doctors are endorsing the show.
Bluey—an Australian TV show that premiered on ABC Kids—follows the anthropomorphic Blue Heeler puppy, Bluey, as she navigates life as a six (later seven) year-old. The series was created by Joe Brumm and has won two Logie Awards for Most Outstanding Children’s Program, as well as an International Emmy Kids Award in 2019.

Doctors Praise Bluey for Tackling Simple Ideas in a “Complex and Relatable” Way
Co-host of The Man Up Podcast and men’s health specialist Justin Dubin recently took to X, formerly Twitter, to share his views on the kids’ show that has swept the nation.
Dubin wrote about a specific Bluey episode from season 2, “Apparently Season 2 Episode 9 titled ‘Sleepytime’ is secretly climbing the IMDb ranks as one of the best eps of tv ever. So of course I watched it.”
He added his review of the episode as well, “Good god, it’s perfect. Rarely do you see such a simple idea considered in such a complex and relatable way. In just 8 minutes it tackles parenthood, growing up, independence, and family dynamics- all with very little dialogue.”
So I have never watched Bluey but a lot of my friends who have kids do.

Another user added, “Bluey is made for parents and enjoyed by children. It’s really its own standard for kids shows. Some day, when our kids are older they’ll re-watch Bluey from an entirely different POV.”
