NBC: If they didn't want us to call Bluey a boy, they should have made her pink with a bow! Like God intended girl cartoon characters to be.

I've watched a few episodes and they don't really go out of their way to make blueys gender obvious. The dad resembles Bluey and the sister resembles mom. It's not a hard mistake to make.

Yes they do lol. They constantly refer to them as sisters, refer to them as she/her, and bluey even corrected their uncle when he called her a boy.

Tell me you haven't seen the show without telling me you haven't seen the show.

Is bluey not a boy? I just assumed he was because of the coloring of the dad and mom

Both the kids are girls. Bluey and Bingo.

Watch the episode double babysitter. Bandits brother Radley comes to babysit for the night and says "he's over there" referring to Bluey to which she responds "I'm a girl!"

They are the worst part of the parade. Too bad Matt Lauer was such a terrible person because it was better before they replaced him with Hoda

The worst part of every NBC broadcast is NBC.

Don't forget Meredith and Ann. The four of them were the best commentators the parade had.

Which also carried over into a lot of iconic moments during the rest of the years... Can't really separate 9/11 coverage on NBC from him for example... That opening on the 12th was iconic.

Yes Meredith Veira was light years ahead. I don’t know what it is but I really don’t like Savannah and Hoda has always felt like a temporary emergency replacement that they just never bothered to fix

Fair point, but seeing a SSB Goku balloon in the parade still made my day.

This is actually true right?

I turned this on specifically to see Bluey.

That was the only reason we considered watching, but I wasn’t getting peacock so we missed it.

I think you're being facetious but that's literally the only reason I turned it on this year, so my daughter could see a giant Bluey balloon.
