I can't express how PERFECT this show is. I first started watching this show when my ex introduced me to it in late 2024. We didn't get all the way through it before we broke up, but despite all the memories I have associating this show with him, I pulled through and I watched the rest. This show triggers something in me. I don't know what it is but I just get so, so emotional even if the episode isn't necessarily meant to be. It's the feeling of wanting your mom when you're sick, and seeing the colors in a picturebook more than the words, and stomping around in light up shoes within a world that's so vast and bright and so much bigger than you. There weren't many lessons I needed to learn from this show that I didn't already know, but there were a lot of things I needed to hear from it, and some perspectives it opened me up to. The visuals are stunning as well and I love some of the highly detailed close up shots like when the leafbug is crawling on Bingo's nose in The Weekend, reminds me of older cartoons like Spongebob and Ren & Stimpy... just way less grotesque. Also, the music. God, Joff Bush is a musical mastermind—stringing songs together that are so packed with life and love yet just simple enough to belong perfectly in the background of a kids show. My favorite song is most definitely Wagon Ride, because I can picture the scene too when I listen to it, where Bingo is passing the time in the sunlit grass patch, and Bluey is having to learn patience, and Bandit is being so sweet and supportive about it. There's so many lessons in this show that I wish my parents would've taught me when I was young, but I guess I can still always learn them late if I give myself some grace.
