CAILLOU CANCELLED

The classic PBS Kids show Caillou is going bye-bye. PBS Kids shared the news on social media today and while many moms and dads are jumping for joy, just as many are mourning the loss of a show that was actually… not that bad?

Though in the age of all things digital, it shouldn’t be too hard to keep your kid in Caillou episodes for as long as their interest in the ill-behaved tot holds.

As far as reasons parents tend to loathe the fictitious 4-year-old? In a piece for the Kansas City Star, Sara Smith sums it up pretty neatly. “Four early episodes of ‘Caillou’ have been permanently banned from PBS Kids because the kid is such a demon seed: lying to his mother, tormenting the family cat, swatting his baby sister with a book. Even in later versions, where his bad behavior was toned down after criticism from parents, he’s thoughtless, selfish and impulsive.”

I LIKE Caillou: why the hate? Lets face it, he is EXACTLY like your toddler. Spot on if you ask me. Toddlers are savage. And mine sit silently when he’s on, so it’s a win for me.
