As the parent of a toddler, I’ve watched a lot of kids' television shows. Some of it good; more of it bad. But I’ve found my favorite.

(It’s not always my daughter’s favorite; but she’s two, so her opinion changes by the hour.)

The best kids’ show is Bluey. (And I’m not the only one who thinks that.)

Basically, it’s the story of a family of Australian heeler dogs: a mum, a dad, and two daughters named Bingo and Bluey.

Here are 6 reasons why it’s undeniably awesome:

1. Short episodes

All of the episodes are only about 8 minutes long. Most other made-for-television shows last about 22 minutes. Which is short when you’re watching with adults, but can be an eternity for a toddler.

The brevity of the episodes also means that they can make a bunch more episodes every season. Currently, there are only two seasons on Disney Plus, but there are 50+ episodes each.

That means no more watching the same 6 episodes over and over and over and over again.

2. Beautiful animation
