What Parents Need to Know

About Rolie Polie Olie

Parents need to know that this imaginative world of robotic friends is colorful and inviting for preschoolers, but may not seem high-tech and flashy enough for older kids and up. Still, it won an Emmy and appeals to many in its target audience.

    Bad teachings....................

    This show might be fun for little kids (I watched it when I was little) but it's teaching the little people totally made-up and not gonna ever happen things. I'll give an example. Ice cream does not come from a cows'(thing where milk comes from.) You should stick to JoJo's circus.

    good family fun

    my 6 year old son grew up watching this and other shows on disney and it did not effect the way his language developed. I think the way that they have such a close family relationship as well as the friendship with their neighbors "The Bevels" teaches children good values as well as the way they learn to play together and compromise.
