The post that goes "maybe it seems pretentious to you because you only watch bluey," but this time including the inverse "maybe you only think bluey is 'deep and meaningful for a kids show' because it's the only kids show you watch."

#im not even referring to steven universe or avatar or wahtever. i mean actual preschool baby shows #the way the bear in the big blue house was a unique safe haven for autistic kids and created Such a healing atmosphere for so many youths.#the way seasame street has been built consciously and intentionally to provide education and emotional support for underprivileged kids #(or hell. even normal privileged kids that just aren't old enough for school yet.)#most ppl dont even know bluey was originally pitched as a show for adults!!#it was pitched as something families could watch together but it was primarily a learning tool to teach good parenting skills.#and it still has that! its very supportive and validating of its adult audience because Thats Who It Was Supposed To Be For.#so many preschool shows are actually consciously made not only to limit imitable behavior but also to actively psychologically enrich kids #and ppl who watch bluey never give other shows the credit ffs
