Rolie Polie Olie

My son is 2 years old, and this is his favorite show. I know that when I sit him down in his chair to watch this, he will not move and I can get chores done during this half hour. He wakes up asking for Olie, Olie! I almost wish it was on all day!

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

Right, bear in mind it is aimed at kids, that's why everything is so simple. But the thing is at 18, I like this simplicity. I liked the concept, and very often this show is cute and addictive. The CGI animation is simple, but it is colourful, well done on the whole and effective. The theme song mayn't be to everybody's tastes, but it is nice and memorable for kids to sing along to. The story lines and writing are indeed the epitome of simplicity, and for the better I think; you don't want your children to go "huh, what did he/she say?" which they probably would do if the language was complicated. And the stories did often have some valuable life lessons, when it comes to a kid-oriented show, that is a major plus in my book. The characters aren't bad either, not the most relateable, but they are at least likable and cute, and the voice acting wasn't too bad actually. Overall, very good for kids, adults may not be as impressed, but if the child in question is smiling and laughing you know that's a good sign! 8/10 Bethany Cox

Rolie Polie Olie is such a sweet show.

I love this show, and the kid I babysit loves it, too.

It may be a bit too simple for adults, but that's the point. It's for kids, not adults.

The 3D Animation is really well done and the content is wholesome. What more can you ask from a kid's show?

I recommend it to all parents who want a good show for their kids to watch. Plus, it doesn't sell you a toy, as far as I know so far. There is many shows attached to selling something.

Have fun watching with yours or any kid/s!

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.
