The classic\u00a0PBS Kids show\u00a0Caillo<\/em>u<\/a>\u00a0is 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\u2026 not that bad?<\/p>\n

Though in the age of all things digital, it shouldn\u2019t be too hard to keep your kid in Caillou episodes for as long as their interest in the ill-behaved tot holds.<\/p>\n

As far as reasons parents tend to loathe the fictitious 4-year-old? In a piece for the\u00a0Kansas City Star<\/em><\/a>, Sara Smith sums it up pretty neatly. \u201cFour early episodes of \u2018Caillou\u2019 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\u2019s thoughtless, selfish and impulsive.\u201d<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
