Bluey Is Actually The Perfect Kid’s Show Bluey is a great show, that is full of representation and important real-world life lessons — not only for children, but for the parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents who are forced to watch along, too. The Heeler family — comprised of dad (Bandit), mum (Chilli), younger sister (Bingo) and the lead character, six-year-old Bluey — spend each short, but sweet, seven-minute episode exploring everyday life in sunny Brisbane with a focus on the importance of imagination and self-directed play. As the ABC explains, the show’s inexhaustible titular character “turns everyday family life into extraordinary adventures, developing her imagination as well as her mental, physical and emotional resilience”.
