“Once you’ve spent money, it’s, well, gone.”īluey is bummed, so her friend comforts her: “Don’t worry, Bluey. “That’s not really how it works, kiddo,” he explains. She immediately regrets her decision, especially since her friend can’t share the treat. “That’s all they’ve got in them,” he responds.įeeling her money burning a hole in her pocket, Bluey caves to pressure and buys a toffee apple after the vendor says there’s only one left. At a dessert booth, Indy asks the vendor if the doughnuts have “wheat, sugar, gluten or dairy?” But Indy tells Bluey her mom won’t let her eat sausage because it has “additives,” stumbling over the pronunciation. “I only want to go if Indy can come,” she says, deciding to get her money back and continue looking for a treat. Bluey hands over her money, then learns she only has enough for one rider and it would cost $10 for both girls to ride.
They find a “pony lady” who’s charging $5 to ride miniature ponies. The dog family, which includes Bluey’s little sister Bingo, goes to the market.īluey and her friend Indy go from booth to booth, trying to decide what to spend her $5 on. “Well, that tooth fairy is doing well for herself, isn’t she?” he asks, winking at mom and Bluey, who’s in the background doing the flossing dance with excitement. Dad spits out his cereal and asks, “Five bucks?!” He looks at mom, Chilli, who assures him that’s the amount the fairy left all Bluey’s friends. I’ll start with “Markets,” the first episode my daughter and I watched.īluey, a 6-year-old puppy, proudly tells her dad, Bandit, the tooth fairy gave her $5. If you’re skeptical about how a foursome of blue heelers with Australian accents can reflect a modern American family, let me explain. And my karma must be doing OK because Disney is launching new episodes starting Oct. And, they’re all good, as I’ve raved to my friends with young kids who were looking for relief from shows like “Bubble Guppies” and “Paw Patrol” (again, not bad, just no more). We’ve since watched all the episodes Disney Junior has of the Ludo Studios/ Australian Broadcasting Corporation/BBC Studios show. So, a few weeks ago when my daughter clicked on an image of a happy blue dog to launch “ Bluey” within the DisneyNow app, I mentally crossed my fingers and hoped we’d found something good.įrom the cute theme song to the feel-good ending, it was delightful.
It’s that I’ve seen them so many times, I just can’t take it anymore.
It’s not that the shows are bad - though “ PJ Masks'" adherence to plot formula basically means if you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all. I’ve been gently trying to steer my preschooler away from “Sofia the First” and “PJ Masks” for a while now.
