Sabrina Gardiner As a little girl, Rolie Polie Olie was one of my favourite morning cartoons. Me and my littler sister would watch it on Channel 5 (UK) every morning before we set off for school, and we always loved to rock out to the bouncy theme tune every time it came on.Olie and his family of roundheads (literally) live in a land of oddly-shaped objects and characters. Every day, he sets out to explore the circular world with his littler sister Zowie (pronounced 'Zoe', not pronounced to rhyme with 'Howie') and his loyal pet dog Spot (there's a rather yucky but funny reason why he was named that, although I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen the show.) His friend is named Billy, who is a blockhead (also literally) and has a pet cat made of squares.The show definitely seems to have that 1950s/60s vibe to it, as made evident by the furniture and background music. Maybe that's why we loved it so much as kids - it was a little like the Jetsons, but upgraded to CGI animation technology and made a little bit simpler for its target audience of young children.The episode that stick out in my memory the most had to be the one where Zowie accidentally flushed some toys down the toilet and ended up flooding the whole house. Now that's what I call unforgettable.Rolie Polie Olie is a great cartoon for smaller kids (between 5 to 7 years old), as it was for me when I was tinier and a little more innocent.

TheLittleSongbird 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

Mightyzebra 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!! :ZI 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

matucker My daughter loves this show. She started watching it at 10 months. Even though at that age she was too young to understand all of it, the shapes and colors made her smile and laugh. Now she is four and still enjoys the Polies. Although I don't watch every episode with her. Most episodes contain good lessons on sharing and being nice to others. I can not understand how anyone would not like this show. Now that my 4 year old has a little sister, she can relate to how Olie and Billy treat their younger siblings. This is a great show. I wish they had all these great shows when I was growing up.
