Bluey fans are crying ‘Oh, biscuits!’ after new episodes drop in other countries

Ah excuse me, this is OUR show!

When it comes to our beloved Bluey, there are no two ways about it. This is OUR Aussie show no matter how many people can relate to the Heeler family across the globe. 

And yes, we know it's a lot. 

We're very protective of the ABC animation and take great pride in knowing that there are a bunch of little American kids running around with Aussie accents, which is why it comes as no surprise to us that fans are fuming over the fact that new episodes have dropped ... just not in our own country.

Aussie fans forced to wait for the new episodes

Yeah. Cheese and crackers, alright!

According to reports, Australian fans have been forced to wait for the release of new Bluey episodes that have already been released internationally. 

The news was shared via Bluey's official Facebook page, where it was revealed that there will be a total of seven exciting new "mini" episodes that were now available to stream.

The only problem is Aussie fans are only able to binge five of the episodes and are being forced to wait until after everyone else has seen them to view the last two. Reportedly, if you're a Disney+ subscriber abroad, you're one of the lucky ones. 

For the rest, it's apparent that episodes Burger Dog, Bingo 3000, Letter, Hungry and Animals are available to watch, but two further episodes are restricted for viewers Down Under. 

Oh HELL NAH!

Bluey fans are not happy

While we waited for clarification from the ABC, the outrage online was loud enough to be heard all the way in America - where they were likely giggling along enjoying the latest episodes.

Dirty? You bet!

Many people simply wanted to know why Australia wasn't the first to be able to view the new episodes given it is an Australian program. 

“I am FURIOUS right now. Two minisodes, Muffin Unboxing, and 3 Little Pigs, haven’t been released in Australia. In all seriousness, this is a travesty. For so long, we’ve had to suffer and wait, even for stuff that was made here. The Lego movie, Farscape, the Matrix trilogy, and even the Star Wars prequels were ALL made in Australia and all released here after the US," one person vented on Reddit. 

“We finally have something that’s made here that is released here first, and the Americans are taking it away from us! I encourage all Australians to get on the official Bluey and ABC socials and properly complain about this. I already have," another grumpy fan added. 

And another questioned: "Why don’t we have access to them? Absolutely ridiculous.”

Kidspot contacted ABC for comment.
