Rolie Polie Olie

Genre: CGI QUITE babyish TV series about robots. Very cute and sweet.

My thoughts: A family favourite TV series, I love this above every other TV series (even David Attenborogh ones) for its cuteness, its cleverness, its humour, its music and its weird but lovely CGI! The fact that all the furniture, the flowers and other things are alive and have faces, it makes this show all the more entertaining and weird. The rest of my family love this too, especially my mum, I think it's her favourite children's TV series! :O I think people who didn't like this are missing something and just focus a little too much on the not-so-good points of things. This should also be shown on more channels, such as Cbeebies, it's WAY too unknown!! :Z

I like watching episodes really often, especially like the ones with Billy, Pappy and Polly (who are side characters who don't appear in ALL the episodes). They are very cute and very clever! :-)

Recommended to: People who like friendly but strange looking CGI, people who like robots and babyish but funny and cute programs. Enjoy! :-)

What happens: In each episode, in some way, Olie, a robot, has an adventure, either on his own, with his little sister Zoe, with his dog Spot, with his friend Billy, or in some other way

My Daughter will be 2 this January, and among several other Playhouse Disney shows, she loves Olie. She wakes in the morning/afternoon, asking for "olie,olie"...My wife and I have many shows taped, we own the video's, toys, clothes...we have much Olie. I must say, it is a rather good show for children her age, younger and even some older kids. She picked up on Olie when she was maybe 9 months old. And my wife and I have been "victims" (used only as comedic relief), to the hypnotic computer animated show.

Well, come on, parents do anything for their children.

10 out of 10

So underrated, in fact, that for years I was convinced I hallucinated this show.

This show is actually quite enjoyable. When it first came out this type of animation wasn't big, so many people were impressed. My siblings enjoyed (and still enjoy) sitting in front of the television and sing along to his theme song. Granted it has a few flaws, like the younger sister, Zoe, who degrades all children in her age range because of her vocabulary and gets annoying after awhile. I'm 17 and the thing that amuses me most is the uncle who is supposed to be Elvis. It's amusing. They're all robots and the writers are able to build stories that relate to kids but are exaggerated to a point where it's actually amusing.

As a mother I find this show excellent! The first quality of this show is that young kids utterly enjoy it, but also, the characters' voices are not too high-pitched or overly annoying. The music is also not as cheesy as in other kids' shows. Since my 2 year-old daughter watches this, she's learned good moral values like the importance of family and fun and laughter. Thanks to the Baby-bot movie, she is accepting more easily the arrival of her baby sister. Usually, my daughter likes the "stupidest" shows best, but this is actually intelligent and makes ME and my husband laugh from time to time! I recommend it to all parents of young kids. It gives you a few minutes of peace while your offspring has fun and actually learns good things.
