Shows that feel likeBluey (2018–)

Bluey is an inexhaustible six year-old Blue Heeler dog, who loves to play and turns everyday family life into extraordinary adventures, developing her imagination as well as her mental, physical and emotional resilience.

If you loved Bluey, the closest series we have are Rugrats (1991), La familia P. Luche (2002) and Monsters at Work (2021). All three share Bluey's whimsical and witty feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Animaniacs (1993).

The same two preoccupations: friendship, and toddler

The difference: 27 years apart, and the 1990s show

Focuses on a group of toddlers, most prominently Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, Lil, and Angelica, and their day-to-day lives, usually involving common life experiences that become adventures in the babies' imaginations. Adults in the series are almost always unaware of what the children are up to; however, this only provides more room for the babies to explore and discover their surroundings.

La familia P. Luche poster

2002–2012 · 3 seasons · Las Estrellas

Both are built on the same subject: family

This sitcom is about a Mestizo-Latino American family in P. Luche town. Ludovico and Federica P. Luche are the (mostly) happy couple who serve as the parents of their three kids: Junior, an amnesiac policeman who serves as their 12-year-old son, Bibi, their black sheep daughter who is the smartest of the bunch, and Ludoviquito, an heir who had switched places with their youngest. Together with their maid Exelsa, they live in Ciudad P. Luche, a town where emotions are heightened, the impossible is everyday, and plush fabric covers almost everything.

The same mix in both: whimsy, then wit

Ever since he was a kid, Tylor Tuskmon has dreamed of becoming a Scarer just like his idol James P. Sullivan, and now that dream is about to come true... or not. The day he arrives at Monsters Incorporated to begin his dream job as a Scarer, he learns that scaring is out and laughter is in! After being reassigned to the Monsters, Inc. Facilities Team, Tylor sets his sights on a new goal: figuring out how to be funny and becoming a Jokester.

Both land play and warmth at once

The difference: Takes it somewhere less cozy than Bluey does

Three brother bears awkwardly attempt to find their place in civilized society, whether they're looking for food, trying to make human friends, or scheming to become famous on the internet. Grizzly, Panda and Ice Bear stack atop one another when they leave their cave and explore the hipster environs of the San Francisco Bay Area, and it's clear the siblings have a lot to learn about a technologically driven world. By their side on many adventures are best friend Chloe (the only human character in the cast), fame-obsessed panda Nom Nom, and Charlie, aka Bigfoot.

Both lean on comfort more than on animation

The two Warner Brothers Yakko and Wakko and their Warner sister Dot had been (supposedly) created in the 1930's, but their cartoons were too screwy for the general public to handle. The three Warners were locked up in the studio water tower until they escaped in the 90's. There, they run wild, causing chaos everywhere!

Whimsical kids in both cases

Peppa Pig is an energetic piggy who lives with Mummy, Daddy, and little brother George. She loves to jump in mud puddles and make loud snorting noises.
