The New "Bluey" Episode "The Sign" Is Making A Lot Of Parents Cry And Say That It's The Best Show On TV
If you're not a parent or aren't around little kids, then you might not know about Bluey. The wildly popular Australian cartoon, which airs on Disney+, is one of the most-streamed TV shows.
While the show is geared toward preschool-aged kids, it's also beloved by parents and child-free adults alike. It also gets a lot of praise for tackling difficult subjects like infertility and men's mental health in a child-friendly way.
*********************Warning: mild spoilers ahead*******************
Yesterday, the Season 3 finale episode, "The Sign," premiered on Disney+. It was also a super-sized episode, coming in at just under 30 minutes (most episodes are about 6 minutes long). In the episode — Bluey's father — Bandit puts the house up for sale as they will be moving for his new job. However, Bluey isn't happy about it, and neither is her mother, Chilli, who has too many memories of Bluey and her little sister, Bingo, attached to the house.
The move for Bluey and her family seems all but certain. However, in the show's final moments, Bandit gets emotional and realizes he can't move his family from the house because of all the good memories attached to it. He tears down the for sale sign, causing Chilli, Bluey, and Bingo to run to him and hug him out of joy.

The episode brought out A LOT of emotions in parents, and a lot of them took to Twitter/X to talk about it:

Once in a while a show comes around that speaks directly to you and reminds that you’re part of something greater. Right now for me it’s a show about a 6-year old cartoon dog#Bluey #BlueyTheSign pic.twitter.com/gXn4KCJOXu

Just saw an episode of Bluey called “The Sign” that blew Oppenheimer out of the water.

In an interview with the LA Times, the show's executive producer Daley Pearson said "The Sign" was meant to be a bit of an experiment and that he agreed that it was one of the best episodes they've made, saying, "It’s an episode about these very important things that these characters are going through... There’s a bit of experimental feel to it. Will it work? Will the audience stick with it? And I think it’s one of the most beautiful episodes we’ve made."
Alright, if you watched the episode, tell us if it really made you cry!
