The Australian children’s show Bluey has been taking the internet by storm. Bluey is marketed toward children, but this does not stop many teens and adults from watching it. But why is the show such a hit with these older fans? 

Bluey follows his Heeler family and friends through various activities and adventures they go on. 

According to its creator, Bluey is based on events that happened during his life. This makes the problems and challenges the characters in the show face closer to real life and very relatable.  

This is one of the reasons many people, not just preschoolers, enjoy Bluey. It has a sense of normalcy and nostalgia that people of all ages can enjoy. 

The show also has a feeling of family. Because of this, not just the children watching, but also the parents can relate to and enjoy the show. Episodes such as “The Quiet Game” have the parents learning the lesson, not just the kids. 

Bluey also has a positive outlook that many modern shows are lacking. Many modern shows have drama or people screaming at each other, such as reality shows like Dance Moms. Even though these shows are entertaining, they provide more of a negative feeling. Bluey is the opposite of this – it has positive messages and a generally happy tone.

Bluey has gained a lot of its popularity via TikTok, with many people sharing clips of the show.
