Do you ever think of a TV show you used to watch growing up, but when you mention it no one seems to remember it?
That seemed to be the case for one Twitter user, who tweeted that since not many people mention a 1990s animated children’s television show, he must have imagined its existence.
“so few people talk about this show i’m sometimes convinced i hallucinated it,” Zach Silberberg, host of the podcast “We Pod A Zoo,” tweeted Monday morning.
The show he’s referring to, “Rolie Polie Olie,” aired on the Disney Channel in the United States as part of its Playhouse Disney programming block for preschoolers. It followed the adventures of a sphere-shaped robot named Olie who learned values with his friends and family.
Silberberg was far from alone in feeling this way about the series or other children’s TV shows. His tweet has since garnered more than 25,000 retweets, over 5,800 quote tweets and upwards of 207,000 likes.
It led others to share the TV shows they believed others probably didn’t remember, many of which were from the 1990s and 2000s. They included “The Busy World of Richard Scarry,” “Zoboomafoo” and “Amby and Dexter.”
Not every trip down memory lane solely included shows from the ‘90s and the aughts, however. Some users shared a few children’s TV shows from the 1970s and 1980s.
