Ep 6. Where's Pappy?/ Hopin' and a Hoppin'/ Just Like Dad

Where's Pappy?/ Hopin' and a Hoppin'/ Just Like Dad is the sixth episode of the first season of the Disney Channel animated series Rolie Polie Olie.

In the first segment, Where's Pappy?, Olie and Zowie can't find their grandfather Pappy anywhere, and they start to worry. They search the whole house, the backyard and even the garage, but he's nowhere to be found. Their parents try to reassure them that Pappy may have simply gone out for a walk or to visit their neighbors, but Olie and Zowie won't rest until they find him. They come up with a plan to build a machine that can track Pappy's mechanical heart. They use various gadgets and tools to assemble the machine, and it works! They follow the signal to a nearby park, where Pappy is taking a nap. He wakes up to find his grandchildren hugging him, and they all go home happily.

In the second segment, Hopin' and a Hoppin', Olie and his friend Billy find a frog in the pond. They decide to catch it, but the frog is too quick for them. They enlist the help of their robotic pets Spot and Screwy to catch the frog, but they fail too. Spot suggests they try hopping like a frog, and they all join in a game of froggy hop. They have so much fun that they forget about catching the frog, who hops away unnoticed. Olie and Billy realize that it's more important to have fun than to catch things.

In the third and final segment, Just Like Dad, Olie is determined to be just like his dad. He follows his dad around, copying everything he does, from shaving to reading the newspaper. His dad finds it cute at first, but soon gets annoyed by Olie's constant mimicry. He suggests they play a game of catch instead. Olie is hesitant at first, as he's never played catch before, but his dad encourages him. They have a great time playing catch, and Olie learns that it's okay to be himself and not just copy others.

Overall, Where's Pappy?/ Hopin' and a Hoppin'/ Just Like Dad is a heartwarming episode that teaches children the importance of family, fun, and individuality. The colorful animation and catchy soundtrack add to the charm of the show.
