Not an entertaining show to a parent, but Wonderoos is another kids show that has had a positive impact on my 2 children. In each episode a wonderoo identifies a choice has to be made, makes the choice that leads to a worse outcome, and then rewinds to make the right choice. While making the choice they always say, &quot;let&#x27;s chalk it out&quot;, and I&#x27;ve heard my kids say this and then state two choices in their own activities. There is also an episode where a lonely wonderoo at the playground decides between trying to make friends with the other kids or just waiting to see what happens. First they wait, and nothing happens, and then they rewind and go introduce themselves and become friends. One day at the park my shy 4 year old asked me to help her introduce herself to another kiddo. Def she got that from the show!<p>I don&#x27;t know about how that show is made, but my guess is that it is more like cocomelon, scientifically tested for efficacy, but with the right intentions set by child development experts.

When I was a kid my favourite show was Mr Rogers. I get the sense that Bluey is the closest we have to that level of energy in a kids show these days. I don’t have children yet but I look after my niece after school and we watch Bluey now and again. Even Bluey completely absorbs her. I can wave my hands in front of her face and she doesn’t notice. I’d like to think that that wasn’t the case with me and Mr Rogers but who knows…

Well, I was horrified the first time I saw the Cocomelon and was unsettled as a dad. This article explains why.<p>I need to check Bluey, we watched Miraculous, tales of Ladybug with our kids and enjoyed it (the plot is for adults).<p>There is a whole bunch of &quot;junk food&quot; in both tv and videogames (those were you win no matter what). I&#x27;m hoping things get better.

Great article. Insane that this kind of anti-social kid-numbing garbage production line is not only allowed to exist in our society but also very well rewarded. This is another symptom of our deeply sick world, in which financial success is completely decorrelated from having any kind of positive impact on the world.

Other than cuts every 2-3 seconds to keep engaged in Cocomelon, also notice that CAMERA NEVER STOPS, ever. Every scene you see it&#x27;s moving. It could be a slight movement or exaggerated one, but it&#x27;s never stationary.

Cocomelon just phones it in. Almost all of their songs have some similar catchy intro leading into the song. Sometimes the intro is the same across different songs. Recently, my kid got into the song &quot;Bicycle Built for Two (Daisy Bell)&quot;. I grew up listening to Disney Children&#x27;s Favorites sung by Larry Groce, who sings it expressively and dynamically. Cocomelon&#x27;s interpretation is just flat and conservative, as if it&#x27;s a chore to get through.

So far we&#x27;ve managed to keep our 2 and a bit year old&#x27;s tv diet to Bluey, Hey Duggee (a bit crack-y but he loves it and it is still crafted and quite tounge-cheek-funny), Trash Truck (a very calm, sedate one on Netflix, useful if you&#x27;re travelling and can&#x27;t get CBeebies) and Down on the Farm (a Cbeebies show where kids do stuff on a farm). Occasionally Kiri and Lou too. And some sports sometimes (football, rugby, cycling, F1). I love the sports as it&#x27;s distracting but he also doesn&#x27;t care that much and loses interest. Can be enough to get a break but he won&#x27;t binge like Duggee or Bluey.<p>Yes, lucky we&#x27;re in the UK so have CBeebies available, but there&#x27;s no reason to not screen and curate your kids media diet. I don&#x27;t understand people who just let their toddlers consume crap on YT.

Blueys great, my kid loses his shit when the shows on. Its also interesting seeing a female character marketed to kids as a segment rather than just young girls which isnt that common.<p>My son is still under 2, so he prefers other low intensity shows like Mini Kids and Night Garden. The way he gets into Mini Kids is insane, I havent seen cocomelon but I am betting he would get drawn too far into that. Mini Kids sounds like the antidote to cocomelon, no fast cuts, slow music, and mostly just toddlers interacting with toys and each other on television.

My wife and I have a daughter in the demographic of these shows, though she&#x27;s a little young for Bluey. There&#x27;s a YouTube (and now Netflix) show called Ms. Rachel for a younger audience that I&#x27;d put in the same positive category as Bluey.<p>We probably watch one or two hours of Ms. Rachel videos a day with our daughter. We&#x27;ve got several family friends with a household rule of &quot;no screens at all for kids&quot; who would scoff at that but their rule seems both draconian and technophobic to me. Our daughter has picked up many words and concepts from the show and we&#x27;ve learned a lot of the songs as a family and sing them when the context comes up (ex: &quot;baby put your pants on...&quot;). Ms. Rachel has been a hugely positive parenting tool for us.<p>Every once in a while, though, YouTube will try to autoplay some Cocomelon after a Ms. Rachel video and wow it&#x27;s just absolute garbage. I think this article captures it well: it feels like slop engineered to keep young eyeballs glued to the screen with no higher purpose than increasing the number of engaged minutes.<p>Instead of &quot;no screens,&quot; the more granular &quot;you can choose from this menu of approved content on your screen for a reasonable amount of time per day&quot; is the better parenting move for our family.

As a father of two daughters, I&#x27;m convinced the writers of Bluey have cameras in my house &#x2F;s. There are so many times we have had a similar experience to one of the episodes. As my kids are now older than Bluey and Bingo, they still get excited when a new episode is released. We love Bluey in our house.

Note _<i>Well</i>_<p><pre><code> The show’s popularity has led to some people buying Blue Heelers as a pet for their kids… which will probably backfire because they aren’t meant to be house dogs (Blue Heelers need an insane amount of exercise and can be pretty aggressive) </code></pre> Heelers will demand four hours of an aerodynamic throwing stick tossed the length of a football field and back and then want a 5km run to the beach to cool down.<p>Failure to deliver can result in the destruction of everything you love.

While I find Bluey fun and so does my child, in many of the episodes the children are loud and frantic. I&#x27;ve also noticed my kid whining in the same way Bluey and Bingo do.<p>In trying to find calmer shows, two I like are Tumble Leaf and Guess How Much I Love You. Tumble Leaf has a stop-motion look and every episodes involves finding and object and using it to solve a problem. Guess How Much I Love You has a watercolor look and is about a rabbit family and pretty calm. I don&#x27;t enjoy those as much as Bluey, but I enjoy how my kid behaves after watching them.<p>I&#x27;d like to find more like those two if anybody knows any.

I have a 10 month old daughter and she mostly loves Bluey for the theme song. However when she watched Sleepytime (an episode of Bluey) with me for the first time she was absolutely glued to the screen. Bluey is the only show I let her watch along with Ms. Rachel every once in awhile.<p>Bandit (the Dad in the show) has inspired me to be a better Dad and a better husband. I’ve heard people complain that his character sets unrealistic expectations, but if you shift your mindset a little I believe it is totally possible.<p>One of, if not the greatest kids and parents shows I’ve seen.

Bluey is about a family living in a 8000 ft mansion, with lots of spare time.<p>I think it is influenced by the Flintstones, a little bit.

Let&#x27;s not forget the musical side of Bluey.<p>And I don&#x27;t mean just the OST (there are 3 albums), Bluey can also serve to introduction your kids to a wide range of classical music.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blueypedia.fandom.com&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Classical_Music_in_Bluey" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blueypedia.fandom.com&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Classical_Music_in_Bluey</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;open.spotify.com&#x2F;playlist&#x2F;3lXnsxg2AOj6QASadNBYcN" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;open.spotify.com&#x2F;playlist&#x2F;3lXnsxg2AOj6QASadNBYcN</a> (Spotify&#x27;s Bluey classical music playlist.

As a morning parent of a toddler, part of the morning routine is playing a toddler exercise video. It&#x27;s funny, my initial thinking was to burn some of the toddler&#x27;s energy before sitting down to breakfast, but at this point it&#x27;s definitely more for me. Sometimes the toddler even complains but I&#x27;ve come to really enjoy doing some stretches in the morning.

My favorite thing about the Cocomelon phenomenon is how outraged we get as adults, while simultaneously failing to realise how TV has been doing the same to us for the longest time. When I moved out of my parents&#x27; house I got an apartment with no TV, and I hate watching shows on the smartphone or on desktop, so I ended up dropping the habit. Now every time I go back to my folks&#x27; place I&#x27;m shocked by how zombied they get in front of the TV, and how normalized it is between adults in 2025 to waste away whole days bingeing shows on Netflix. If you know what to look for you can see these &quot;long format TV&quot; shows use similar patterns to zombifying kid&#x27;s media

Cocomelon rightfully gets criticism, but this is an apples-to-oranges comparison. Bluey is a scripted animated show intended for older toddlers with parents as a secondary audience. Cocomelon is animated songs for younger toddlers with simple, conflict-free situations that do not provide examples of bad behavior. For a relevant comparison to Cocomelon, see the Ms. Rachel or Spanish-language Luli Pampin videos that provide similar content but without the negative aspects of targeting engagement metrics.

I&#x27;ll add to the chorus of praise for Bluey here. I&#x27;ve never seen a show before so close to my actual life. There&#x27;s one episode where Bandit pretends to be a crane game, and it blew me away because I had done exactly the same thing with my own daughter just a few weeks before! It captures being a kid and being a parent in a way that is so real. Most kids content doesn&#x27;t have the courage to be realistic in that way, they just want to sell toys or ad impressions. My daughter is five now and on the verge of outgrowing it, and I wish we had started watching this show together sooner.

I like Bluey but couldn&#x27;t get my young one to sit through it for a nebulizer. Cocomelon did the trick and I&#x27;m very thankful for them for that. Honestly, I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s as garbage as everyone makes it out to be. It&#x27;s hard trying to find video-form nursery rhymes that aren&#x27;t weird out there. They have that done well. I really like Bluey but I feel like it&#x27;s for a much older crowd.

Bluey is the West Wing of children&#x27;s television, a cloying, overbearingly earnest fantasy which nobody shuts up about at dinner parties.

Lots of folks praising Bluey and poo-pooing Cocomelon, and I am in the same boat.<p>One similar show to Bluey I didn’t see mentioned is Puffin Rock. Very chill and wholesome. Probably appropriate for a bit before Bluey in terms of what a child will understand.

I’ve never let my kids watch cocomelon (or much screen time at all). But we do listen to cocomelon. It has some legitimately well done music IMO. For example “over the river and through the woods”.

The way I see it Cocomelon is for babies and young toddlers, Bluey is for older toddlers and up. Surely there aren’t many kids over the age of 2 watching Cocomelon?

Bluey and Peppa Pig are so effective my children have started speaking with foreign accents D:<p>It’s deeply disappointing the US can’t come up with anything comparable. Sesame Street is a shadow of what it once was — the kids won’t sit down for it at all. Daniel Tiger tests slightly better, but christ is the tone patronizing.

I found Ezra Klein&#x27;s chat with Jia Tolentino about Cocomelon and Bluey ... and parenting, zen, hallucinogens, attention and more ... one of the most deeply interesting things I have heard in the last year.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nytimes.com&#x2F;2024&#x2F;09&#x2F;03&#x2F;opinion&#x2F;ezra-klein-podcast-jia-tolentino.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nytimes.com&#x2F;2024&#x2F;09&#x2F;03&#x2F;opinion&#x2F;ezra-klein-podcas...</a><p>It&#x27;s available &quot;where you get your podcasts&quot; (though might be old enough now to not be after the NYT added a paywall for old audio material)

&gt; Bluey is created by an auteur with a unique and hilarious point of view on the world. Conversely, Cocomelon — which started on YouTube — is algorithmic slop that has been called “crack for kids” and is probably as educational as taping strobe lights to your child’s eyeballs.<p>This line knocks it out of the park. I&#x27;m so glad that my kids never like Cocomelon, and still to this day, at age 7 and 10, like to watch Bluey. The worst part of them watching Bluey is that Dad sets unrealistic expectations for the rest of us! (a common topic on &#x2F;r&#x2F;daddit)

As our daughter has grown older we&#x27;ve had to pair down entire streaming catalogues to avoid Cocomelon like slop. Amazon Prime and Netflix being the primary offenders. While both have some good stuff or the PBS back catalog (Arthur, Pete the Cat, Gabby&#x27;s Dollhouse, Busytown) they are chocked full of completely awful garbage. Shows that are obviously chasing after that Cocomelon money. If your kid ever wants to watch &quot;Cry Babies Magic Tears&quot;, just throw your TV out the window instead.

we&#x27;re in for a rough ride when current overstimulated generation grows up. kids from 12 months watching youtube because parents need them to sit still? damn thats scary. even two year olds in my opinion is too young.<p>&quot;Hold On to Your Kids: Why Parents Need to Matter More Than Peers&quot; talks about this that screen time is replacing connection (bond) between kids and parents. and bond is of most importance for raising children. which if you missed the train cant be created later (only mended)<p>our family was going that path (media consumption), but made a change (couple weeks of tantrums) and now it reflects quite positively. So i guess the main issue is to not overuse. even if the show is &quot;really good&quot;

I&#x27;ve noticed that the best shows usually have two layers, allowing two otherwise incompatible audiences to share the same experience. This is also why old South Park episodes were so fun: it was fart and poop jokes, but it was also some societal commentary.

why bluey or cocomelon? mister rogers is chronically untalked about for kids content in 2025.<p>its an incredible show and deeply enriching for both me and my little one. we’ve given our two year old very limited screen time with mister rogers and, since, they’ve taken up great fondness to making believe, we talk about characters and situations on the show regularly, and they naturally separate themselves from the screen after a while.<p>I’ve been very strict about exposure and screen time but mister rogers has been a blessing and provided me great relief for an hour a day.<p>The jazz aspect of the show completely flew over my head when i was a child but it’s brilliance shines now that i listen as an adult. No two shows are played the same. Costa and his band are constantly riffing. The show is honestly a f-ing incredible work of art.

Bluey is excellence, but I’ve always said Bluey is a kids show for parents.<p>It’s representation of how the parents behave around, and communicate with, their kids, and the numerous examples of ideas for how to play with your children make the show invaluable to parents.<p>The fact that kids love it too only reinforces its clever brilliance.
