big agree.


... also Bluey is one of the best children's shows on TV and I'm DYING here waiting on my country to get the third season.

[kaijinscendre]

I've been binging it while watching my niece. The parents are so funny.

[(Anonymous)]

Bluey is absolutely the best. There are some real crackers in series 3. There's going to be an announcement really soon about the international release of the 3rd season.

[tabaqui]

Omg, yes, this, this, this.
(And stop making every kid of every main character some kind of a) prodigal genius or b) 'special' meaning Autistic/traumatized (if adopted). Can't we have some normal kids?

'Kids Try' vids on Youtube are a good thing to watch - they're not scripted or coached, they're just reacting to stuff.

[greghousesgf]

a lot of kids' media does not have the most realistic depictions of kids either.

[(Anonymous)]

Yessss!!! Why is it so rare to get good writing/representation for realistic kids?

[(Anonymous)]

I wonder this too. I don't have any kids of my own but I've still interacted with plenty of them between friends and family members, so I really don't understand how some people can just... have absolutely zero idea of what real kids are like unless they somehow live in a bubble.

[(Anonymous)]

I was just watching Bluey when I saw this secret. Weird coincidence.

[dancingmouse]

Everyone writing kids should just go the Axe Cop route. Let the kid write it, and work around that.

[lumy12]

Ugh, yes. Although if people haven't spent that much time around real kids, I can understand how they might botch some things based on what they see in shows or movies. I draw the line at a baby smiling and giggling like two minutes after exiting the birth canal, though!

I also get annoyed when listening to a story and I know the voice actor portraying the kid is an adult. It just sticks in my head that it's an adult "pretending" to be a kid and sucks me out of it. Not so much with animated stuff so maybe I just need the visual?

[(Anonymous)]

Is like they're so used to Peppa pig (which also acts like some kids, but can't be comparable with Bluey).

[(Anonymous)]

To be fair, I grew up with no personal experience of kids except being one. A couple of episodes of a kids show didn't change that (that's something I tried), and every kid I ever wrote pre-parenthood is hugely, wildly inaccurate.

[(Anonymous)]

Kids shows really aren't a good way to learn what real kids are like. But the same can be said of any type of show for learning what people are really like. But that's okay, because we're so used to the fake realism of "realistic" shows that if you wrote a realistic kid, everyone would think they were unrealistic. I work with kids, and you cannot make up most of the more interesting things they do. When I read a story online about someone's kid doing something wacky, it sounds real to me but people without experience all say "lol, this literally never happened"
