We know exactly how he feels with this classic line: “Is there some game where I just lie really still on a comfy bed or something?”ĭad waits for his precious spring rolls and the kids remind him just how much fun can be had outside a takeaway joint. Just like in real life, the work-family juggle is real for Mum (played by Queensland actress Melanie Zanetti), who works part time as an airport security guard, and Dad, who longs for a few moments to read the paper or watch the cricket, but rarely ever gets them. When you're raising kids, amongst all the hard work, there's still so much laughter and mucking around." “You just end up playing the games that the kids would laugh at the most and those were the ones where usually they take advantage of you and you're playing the goose. "The tone of the show comes from the games we would play with the girls,” Joe explains, adding the kids voices for the show are played by the crew's children. When many children's programs place imaginative play at the bottom of the priority list, Bluey transforms the mundane tasks of everyday family life into fun adventures. Joe's all-time favourite line is from the episode, 'Hospital'. “Our complaints department, who usually deal with complaints, have been flooded with nice messages about Bluey because people just want to tell us about it so much.” “It’s definitely exceeded our expectations,” Libbie told Kidspot.

"I was confident that we'd done our best and we had something new to offer, but the day it went to air, I still had no idea if it would crash and burn,” says the creative whiz, who previously spent years crafting the hit show, Charlie and Lola. While he’s always been proud of what he and his Ludo Studio team have achieved - all from a workspace in the heart of Brisbane - Joe still can’t believe just how popular the show has become in such a short time. “But that’s what we set out to do and I think we’ve done that.” "It was a challenge for us to come up with a show that a three year old and a thirty year old would both enjoy,” the Aussie father of two told Kidspot.
