Or, maybe it's the best show for the parents. I'm literally watching it by myself after my kid goes to bed.
I really appreciate that the show doesn't hesitate to include some ordinary parenting interactions like Muffin took Stripe's phone and he chased her through the whole house, and Bandit making shenanigans.
I think "FaceyTime" might be one of the best examples of where they COULD have gone standard and instead, went gold.
It COULD have ended with a timeout and then Muffin being sulky and then cheering up, but it didn't.
It COULD have ended with "Mom's right, Dad's wrong," but it didn't.
It ended with gold.
(The use of the cousins to display other child activities is also brilliant, they can have "bratty Muffin" without forcing Bingo or Bluey to be "overly bratty".)
Yeah there was really a lot of thoughts going into that episode.
They don't have to show the ukulele but showing it confirms Muffin's characteristics.
They don't have to show Bandit stretching himself at the beginning of the episode, either.
Also the multi window camera is a bit unique but fun. I'm surprised how they managed to pull that out without making a whole mess when Muffin starts running.
I'd also like to nominate the Mickey Mouse shorts by Paul Rudish.
They flew under a lot of people's radar, but was quietly one of the most brilliant set of modern animations. They are well made, packed with jokes, weird, are a love letter to Chuck Jones era cartoons, and managed to bring back personalities to all of these corporate characters.
