** Meta-wise, Rollo is generally considered a TakeThat against the wallaby he was based on, including said wallaby. While it's ''definetely'' true that Rollo isn't a very complimentary portrayal, he's also [[TokenGoodTeammate the sole character remotely resembling a decent person]]

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Rollo. Some [[EnsembleDarkhorse loved him from the beginning]], others [[TheScrappy did]] [[CreatorsPet not]].

to:

* BaseBreakingCharacter: AmericansHateTingle: Rollo has no characterisation outside of being [[TheBogan a block-headed Australian stereotype]] with a really crude take on the country's accent and dialect. At least one Australian felt alienated by this portrayal.

** The baby Fathead introduced in the revival. Some saw it as a needless addition that would upset the natural comedic balance of the classic series. Others were more open to the character, as he was created by the original writer.

Added DiffLines:

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The Chameleon Brothers remake was never finished, and only a handful of design documents have ever been found.
