Bluey may be a kids’ show, but the latest episode has parents crying all the way to social media!
If you’ve never heard of the show (i.e. you aren’t a parent!) it follows the Heeler family, including 7-year-old Bluey, her younger sister Bingo, and their parents, dad Bandit, and mom Chilli. Yes, they’re all cartoon dogs. But that doesn’t make them any less compelling as a family! And Sunday’s episode didn’t leave a dry eye in sight!

Titled The Sign, the 28-minute season finale, which is four times the length of the show’s usual 7-minute installments, followed a family wedding and even more moving, the Heeler’s decision to sell their house and move to a different city for Bandit’s new job. The fam, especially Bluey, are NOT happy about the move. And things beautifully conclude with Bandit’s emotional decision to call off the move and keep the house he raised his family in. See a clip (below):
Seeing everyone realising that Bluey is without a doubt one of the best children’s shows ever to grace TV makes me happy. pic.twitter.com/osHwyP6Diw

On X (Twitter), parents have since made it known how much the episode “DESTROYED” them emotionally! One father gushed about how “sensational” the show is — and how it’ll serve as quite the topic of conversation during his next therapy appointment:
“It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say Bluey’s The Sign absolutely f**ked me up. My therapist isn’t gonna know what hit her. Sensational television. No I’m not joking. Bandit & Chilli are parenting goals. I love these characters so much. F**k, man…”

Another fan compared the “emotional roller coaster” episode to 2019’s Avengers: Endgame:
“The new 30-minute Bluey episode ‘The Sign‘ is straight-up Avengers: End Game level for all of us @OfficialBlueyTV fans.. What a fantastic emotional rollercoaster! @Daley_Pearson #Bluey #BlueyTheSign”

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

My husband made us all get up early this morning to watch the new Bluey episode (he is has been speculating for weeks) and then he cried his eyes out
The last time he cried was at the birth of our baby

The coolest thing about Bluey is realizing in 20 years your kids will be re-watching it from a completely new POV
It’s like watching SpongeBob as an adult except it rips your heart out pic.twitter.com/J3i8bOrRhu
