Rolie Polie Olie is a show based in outer space. Not just outer space though, but outer space in the future. Rolie is a little boy robot that is frequently joined by his best friend Billy, a square robot. In addition to Billy, his sister Zowie and his parents, dog Spot, and sometimes-even Dicey, the cat, but you can't forget the house, which is full of moving machines with facial expressions. They are definitely part of this cast.
Rolie's father is an inventor, and his inventions are often the focus of these shows. The inventions are silly, and usually don't work at first, but by the end of the episode, they tend to work fine. Rolie's misadventures, usually with Billy make for both comedy and lesson fun for the viewer.
Unlike some of the other Playhouse Disney shows, Rolie Polie Olie is definitely more appropriate for your older child. While others shows can easily entertain a 1 or 2 year old, this show seems to be enjoyed more by children aged 3 - 6.
From and adult point of view, Rolie Polie Olie is an exercise in laughter, and quite entertaining. From a 3-year-old point of view, 30 minutes is not long enough. This is a fun show, which has been moved around a lot recently due to new Playhouse Disney additions, but it still there due to its high fan base. Rolie Polie Olie is definitely quality television.

I have a 9 1/2 year old that grew up with Rolie Polie Olie, she alway's loved watching it. When I had twins (6 years ago) by the time they were old enough to enjoy it , it was not there. So my doughter got out the old VHS tapes that we had of it. They still love watching it. Loved the fact that it taught the kids lesson and not even realizing it. PLEASE BRING THEM BACK!!!!! Now in the morning they have about 15 min to watch tv before the bus arrives, and there is nothing to watch.

I have to agree...Playhouse Disney was the best! To replace Rolie Polie Olie, PB&J Otter, etc. with The Doodlebops is pure garbage! This is the worst show - it's actually an embarrassment, if you want my honest opinion. I don't let my kids watch most of the garbage on Disney anymore, it's mostly geared towards tweens.

My son is 9 1/2. He still misses the true playhouse disney. all the good shows are gone & I must say that my young nieces and nephews don't even watch Disney! Olie was the best. I had to tape episodes beacause my son loved it so much. He had bad asthma & was very sick ~ Olie was all he wanted. hours upon hours we still love it. What a shame to make all the good ones just 'disappear'. I know Disney say soemthing about making things new and fresh but there are new kids that these show are 'new' to anyway. PB&J otter was awesome too. Stanley... Olie was truly the best of the best! William Joyce is great to have developed this. His Meet the Robinsons was great too. Quality family TV for kids!

I am going to be 14 and i love the older shows like Rolie Polie Olie, Bear and the Blue House, Stanly, and PB & J otter. Why take them away and replace them with real people with pink and purple hair who dont even have 5 fingers!!!! Walt Disney would be upset if he knew that you where showing those freaky shows on his channel. Dont put the money before the kids.

My oldest is 8 and loved Disney channel, I did as well. Our youngest daughter 2 1/2 never watches Disney, only Nick or Noggin for her TV time. I really wish Disney would bring back Rolie Polie Olie as well as the other great little kid shows they had in years past. My 8 year old still likes to get out her videos of Rolie and watch them. I don't like the shows Playhouse Disney is doing now, neither do the kids. They would rather watch Dora, Little Bear, Blues Clues, stuff like that. I'm very disapointed in the direction they have gone. They need to bring back the shows they had when my 8 year old was little. Rolie Polie Olie, Out of the Box, Bear in the Big Blue House, stuff like that.

I am sorry but I do not care for Hannah Montana and neither does my 9 year old. This is what it is all coming to. Look at the Spears girls. I do not want my kids influenced by kids like this. I want the good, down to earth "KID SHOWS" that my children can enjoy. Bear, Rolie, PB&J offered all of that. I have NO IDEA why Disney removed this show. My son now watches "NICK" more than Disney. Has nothing to do with his age he STILL watches the the ONLY DVD's of Rolie that we have. Bear in the Big Blue house he has outgrown but Rolie he stil adores. What a shame that Disney is falling into the toilet worse than the other channels. I never thought they would head in the direction they have. )Playhouse Disney was once really good for pre-schoolers. Now I am not so sure. I am just thankful my son got to enjoy Disney when they were at their best. I read some of these reviews and I feel for the parents now that are struggling.

I'm really saddened that you've removed this show.
My kids really miss this show. It contained meaningful content... and quite honestly, I'd rather have them watch this than the square yellow character based show that is meaning less.
Cuts the number of shows they watch from your network.

I have a son who just turned 8 and he loved Rolie Polie Olie. I would tape it so he could watch it over and over again. I just had twin boys 4 months ago and I could not get them to stop crying, I found an old tape of Olie and I thought to myself it is worth a try they love it!!! As soon as they hear the song they stop crying and watch TV. Please bring him and the others back!!!!
