Big news for parents: PBS Kids has announced the cancellation of the beloved yet often controversial show, Caillou. The end of this classic series has led to a mixture of joy and nostalgia among parents everywhere. While many are celebrating the departure of the troublesome four-year-old who has graced screens for years, others are feeling a tinge of sadness over the loss of a show they’ve come to know.
PBS Kids shared the announcement on their social media, stating, “We’re bidding farewell to Caillou, but remember, when one door closes, another opens!” They even provided resources for helping young viewers cope with the transition. In our digital age, however, parents can easily find ways to stream Caillou episodes long after the show has officially ended.
Many parents have expressed relief, citing the character’s annoying behavior as a source of frustration. Some even labeled Caillou a negative role model due to his bratty antics. Yet, it appears there are just as many comments from parents who are unhappy about the cancellation.
According to a piece by local writer Lisa Carter, “Several episodes of ‘Caillou’ have been banned from PBS Kids due to his inappropriate behavior: lying, bullying his pet cat, and even hitting his baby sister with a toy.” Despite the later attempts to soften his character, many still view him as selfish and impulsive.
It’s interesting how the shows our kids latch onto during their formative years end up impacting us as parents. In my home, we had a rotation of favorites like The Backyardigans and Sesame Street. Even if I sometimes found myself rolling my eyes at the endless reruns, those shows became a comforting backdrop to our lives. There’s something heartwarming about the theme songs that take us back to simpler times, even if one of them was the incessant chugging of a certain little train.
So, while we may have mixed feelings about Caillou’s departure, we can always revisit his episodes through streaming platforms or DVR.
