History Trivia / Bluey

** The episode "Dad Baby" has never aired in North America, and is not present on Disney+, likely due to its theme of male play-pregnancy. However, the episode is available for purchase digitally through services such as [=iTunes=], and is included on region 1 [=DVDs=].[[note]]While Disney has cable and streaming rights, and have chosen to withhold the episode, they do not hold the rights to the show's home media, including physical and digital purchases. The BBC, who distributes those releases, have opted to make the episode available. They also offer "Australian Original" versions as a DVD bonus feature, featuring unedited versions of episodes that were altered for their US release, including "Dad Baby."[[/note]]
