Show Summary

  • Ended
Welcome to the Charlie and Lola guide at TV.com. Charlie and Lola is now airing its third season on Playhouse Disney in the U.S. and on CBeebies in the U.K. Each story begins with Charlie saying, "I have this little sister, Lola. She is small and very funny." This fun series is targeted at preschool audiences about a boy named Charlie and his sister, Lola. Featuring a unique "collage" animation style and catchy background themes, the show follows the pair as Charlie helps out his often rather independent-minded sister, Lola. Lola can be rather firm-minded when it comes to things like not wanting to go to bed, or doing things on her own, but Charlie doesn't mind too much --- he knows how to come up with a creative solution to help Lola see a different point of view. Viewers can accompany the two as they travel to fantastic worlds using their amazing imaginations. The two siblings are joined by their friends Marv Lowe and his dog sizzles, Lola's best friend, Lotta, Marv's younger brother, Morten, and their various school friends and neighbors, including Arnold Wolf, Mini Reader, and Evie. Lola also has her own imaginary friend, Soren Lorensen. Charlie and Lola is based on a series of books by Lauren Child, who works on the show as an associate producer. The series, beginning with I Will Never Not Ever Eat a Tomato is a hit with both parents and children, both for the imaginative stories and the eye-catching cut-out / collage design. As the show continues, so do the books. A number of book releases based on stories from the TV Series are now available and more are coming. You can also find the series on DVD. A total of six have been released, with more scheduled. Charlie and Lola originally premiered as a series of 11 minutes stories aired individually. Beginning with the second season, each episode now features two stories. The third season kicked off with "Everything Is Different and Not the Same" and is now airing, with exciting new stories and new voice actors for both Charlie and Lola. This guide is customized to the airings of Charlie and Lola aired in the United States on Playhouse Disney. Although the show is produced by the BBC and the British company Tiger Aspect, guide airdates reflect the U.S. airings. For those in the U.S., you can now catch the program weekdays at 10 A.M. and on Saturday and Sunday at 11:30 A.M. on Playhouse Disney. If you live in England, you can catch the program on CBeebies or on BBC2 and in Australia, the series airs on ABCKids.moreless

    By Spongeyfan, Mar 22, 2012
    Why does everyone like Charlie and Lola it is boring and yet it's a program for preschoolers but i can't seem to know why they'd enjoy that piece of rubbish and they are yet british like me but i don't talk like many british people i talk a bit american as well oh god this show is dead boring the voices are boring and many more this show aired in CBeebies in the UK over here and Playhouse Disney in the USA i can't believe Americans would even try to put this piece of rubbish on Playhouse Disney it is boring and not too bright but they dubbed it so the american version might actually be good but they kept the stupid boring voices if you want to see a good show for kids either watch SpongeBob or Rocko's Modern Life this is'nt really a good show this show is evil and must be cancelled and whoever created this probably loves like being bored or something this is more boring than the soap operas like Coranation Street and Eastenders.moreless

    I think little kids can be a pain in the a** but they deserve better tv shows than this pice of crap. I mean you can replace this with a better show. The person who thought of this was either mentally challended,just stupid or drunk. This dosen\'t teach kids anything in the real world. The animation is awful. I can draw better than that. The only reason I give it a 1 is beacuase I feel sorry for it.moreless

  • Charlie and Lola is a very funny and educational show! Great for young children!

    I love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, this show!

    It's so elegant and enriching!!! And the theme song, it makes me want to cry! It's so beautiful! I used to watch this show whenever I could when I was about 3 or 4 years old! This show is so pretty!

    I wish that more people will watch it. Although, I don't watch it very often either... But, I'm a very busy person...

    Still, I love this show! It's just so perfect! I absolutely love it!

    I love it! I love it! I love it!

    I just wish I could watch it more often...moreless

    I am 19 and this show is my guilty pleasure. This is such a cute cartoon! Lola is really sweet, really cute, and Charlie is very helpful and doesnt seem to get very annoyed by Lola's antics. The animation is very different from what I used to, but I think its cool how they use real objects. I think this show should be a full 30 minutes long. And the theme song is very catchy too. Anyways, I love this show. I love how Charlie helps Lola to do the right things, such as, going to bed on time or learning to accept her part in the school play. And their friends, Marv and Lotta are cool too. I rate this show a 10/10.moreless

  • This is an excellent programme to watch with a four year old child. Also check out the web site.

    I have found this show to be an invaluable tool for discussing behavour with my four year old grandaughter. I have found she can totally relate to Lola. My grandaughter does not relate to her brother as well as Lola does with Charlie however it does encourage her to endeavour to do better. I so remember the hunt for a birthday present and the agony of having to give it up for the best friend's birthday. I also have trouble getting the grandaughter to eat proper meals. To redefine what the food is can often activate her imagination as Charlie did. We also enjoy the Charlie and Lola web site.moreless
