The 15 Best Episodes of Bluey
Some episodes are silly, some are heart-wrenching — many are both.
The Australian animated children’s series centers on the Heelers, a family of anthropomorphic dogs made up of parents Chilli (Mum) and Bandit (Dad), and their two daughters, six-year-old (or seven-year-old, in later episodes) Bluey and four-year-old Bingo. Chilli and Bandit often display unachievable levels of play with their children, committing to whatever bit Bingo or Bluey come up with, even if that means public humiliation like pretending to be a toddler at the grocery store or enduring physical pain during a hairdressing appointment gone wrong. “Fruit Bat,” an early episode, beautifully captures the Heeler family dynamics and gave me two parenting tools I use daily: the introduction of the “tactical wee,” which Bingo explains is taken to prevent an accident in the night, and Bandit telling Bluey that jumping on the bed is a “daytime game.” These two tips alone make this a must-watch.
