Bluey

I know it's a show made for kids but I say do yourself a favour and watch for yourself no matter how old. It's just so wholesome and a model of family that many people have never had and many kids don't experience. I like what Timothy O'Malley says in this article with the Catholic Weekly...

Timothy O’Malley is a theologian based at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana and told The Catholic Weekly that Bluey helps him enter an imaginative space where he is able to see the world as his children do.

His own family has just moved house and the season finale was an opportunity for them to discuss their feelings about it.

“In that sense, I see Bluey as a masterpiece because it’s actually a piece of art that allows us as a family to deal with the essentially human things,” he said.

“For me, it’s not only that family values are at the centre, but it’s the rare show that invites the child and the adult together into an act of common inquiry, of thinking together.”

There's a number of significant O'Malley Jesuits but this one is a Professor at Notre Dame.

I guess the one I am thinking of died and he worked at Georgetown not Notre Dame, and Notre Dame being a Catholic university would absolutely hire a Jesuit
