Not sure what age bluey is meant for but the quick scene changes made me think its brain rot.
It is very much not brain rot. It is genuinely funny and heartfelt, with very clever writing. It sorta reminds me of an all-ages Simpsons. I would never have seen it if I didn’t have a kid, but now that have, I would watch it even if I didn’t have a kid.
I got curious and watched a few episodes to see what the hype was about. It’s pretty cute and seemed to encourage play away from screens. Who doesn’t like a game of keepy-uppy or the floor is lava?
You take that back…Bluey is probably the best show out for little kids now.
Bluey is targeted towards little kids…the titular character is 7 and her younger sister Bingo is 5.
But Bandit (the dad) and Chili (the mom) are sooooo relatable as parents, making it entertaining for parents watching with kids, too.
Which is great because the whole show is secretly about how to be a good parent.
It is definitely not. Its a very thoughtful show that earned its reputation.
My kids are teens, who missed the Bluey craze by many years. When watching free-to-air, I stop clicking when I come across a Bluey episode, and I have never regretted watching a second of the show. It is hands-down the best kids content on TV right now, and possibly of all time. I love Bluey. You are very wrong.
For adults, if you enjoy it thats ok. For kids its too much.

Are you lost, or did you just decide to comment on something based on pure lumpy ignorance?
Well this is my opinion. I am not aware of any statistics of scene changes or plot coherency but it felt very on the same level as PAW Patrol. Thing with brainrot is, you enjoy it in the moment but it alters cognitive processing. Famously, with quick context changes like tiktok or such kids shows it reduces attention span. Compare what bluey does to a childrens/picture book.
Your “opinion” is based on an incorrect understanding of the world.
You have no grasp nor understanding on that which you speak. To anyone who has the context, you sound like you’re making up a new reality, and then getting mad at your own fantasy.
That’s weird.
Your take is based on watching an episode of the show?
OK, so, what you’re doing here is parroting a study that showed that fast-paced slop content like Cocomelon was bad for developing brains, but you’re missing some key points. The takeaway from that study was that fast scene changes, constant music, and bright colors/motion were harmful to kids. These factors prevent kids from processing what they’re seeing and condition them to seek constant stimulation.
That is very different than something like Paw Patrol, which (even though I think it’s boring drivel), tells a coherent story over a 12 minute period. Whereas Cocomelon is basically just visual noise played over constant children’s music, the Paw Patrol characters have to stop, give exposition, and talk to each other. There are breaks where the characters (and viewers) slow down to process information in order to form a coherent narrative. It’s not a very good or educational narrative, but it’s not actively harmful like Cocomelon.
Also, funnily enough, I just came across an article that happens to have statistics on Bluey’s scene changes, and they average 4-6 seconds (compared to Cocomelon’s 1-2 seconds) and ranked nearly as high as Daniel Tiger in terms of, “Calm Engagement.”
As someone who’s seen episodes of both… no, paw patrol is much more brainrot, bluey is definitely a kids show but it has some stuff that goes over the heads of children and also does a lot more to teach life lessons.
