Eva Week 4- A TV Show For All

I find it often difficult to find a TV show enjoyable for all ages. Generally, younger kids might not understand the show’s topics, or adults will find the show boring and meaningless. This is not the case for Bluey. The intended audience may be six-year-olds, but this show is enjoyable for all!

Starting an episode of Bluey is less of a commitment than episodes of most shows. All Bluey episodes are only around eight minutes long, which is the perfect length for a short break from school work. This allows me to watch television in between completing work without getting side-tracked for more than half an hour. It also does not leave me wanting to watch the next five episodes to figure out what will happen in the plot, like many other shows. I do not have the best self-restraint when it comes to watching television, so these factors help with my ability to stay productive.

Every Bluey episode teaches the audience an important lesson for life. This lesson is very easy to understand and apply, and it is explained in an entertaining way. Most shows do not have this great benefit. Although some television may have lessons, they are often not as easily understood and therefore less likely to be applied in the viewer’s life. The show as a whole has polite and kind characters acting as good role models for younger children as well as positive values of how people should behave.

None of these factors would be important if it were not for Bluey’s universally entertainable plot. The stories in the Bluey episodes are funny and entertaining. They revolve around a family of talking dogs, including Bandit (dad), Chili (mom), Bluey (older sister), and Bingo (younger sister). They often play make-believe games with each other to pass the time and have fun while making mistakes and learning from them. Bluey has well-developed characters and plots and episodes that do much more than entertain.
