Exhausted dad ranks all 154 Bluey episodes from worst to best

bluish It delights everyone, from toddlers to 10-year-olds, stoned college students to parents and grandparents. Creator Joe Brumm's innovation is that a children's show can also be a perfect sitcom for adults, with creative stories aimed squarely at mom and dad. Bluey and Bingo's parents, Bandit and Chilli Heeler, can be great role models, it's true; They may also be exhausted, hungover, stressed about everything, and ready to cry.

We also. Add amazing animation and wonderful music from a team led by Joff Bush, and bluish It could be the first great work of art that entertains young children. Few adults stayed up past their children's bedtime watching Mister Rogers or Arthur, but bluish It is almost as popular among the older generations. So, in an era of content overload, bluish has traveled so far from its beginnings at the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, through streaming dominance in Disney+ become a global phenomenon for all ages.

Next, I did my best to rank each episode from worst to best. But the worst is definitely relative, and even the number 154 is still better than a single minute of cocomelon. I'll explain why I enjoy some episodes more or less, but none of them are bad. Above all, this list is a love letter to a show that made everyone in my family feel seen.

154. “Magic” (Season 3, Episode 114)

The episode called “Magic” has probably the least imaginative magic of all the episodes of bluish. It's just a Star Wars He pushes hard for the entire six minutes and won't be put to a more creative use than briefly forcing Bandit and Lucky's dad to dance. On top of that, Chilli's proclamation that magic is “stronger in some than others” seems unusually elitist and contradicts the message of other, better episodes.

153. “Backpackers” (Season 1, Episode 36)

The premise is nice, but backpacking turns out to be little more than a series of boring conversations with garden gnomes while little kids punch Bandit in the stomach, a repetitive physical gag that doesn't quite land. Not even cousins ​​Muffin and Socks can give this travel game a sense of adventure.
