TIL there are multiple episodes of Caillou where his behavior was so awful that PBS Kids banned them from being re-aired. - eviltoast

And yes, I’m also shocked and saddened that there is a Caillou fandom site.

      If it’s an official decree, then it must be in writing somewhere. The fanwiki is very short on references. One could assume it’s all speculation. Probably just self-censureship rather than a ban.

        I’m not sure what you think the difference is between self-censoring rebroadcasts and banning rebroadcasts is. The same person who would make the decision regardless of what you called it. PBS has the broadcast rights and PBS is who allows their affiliates to re-broadcast content.

        In this case, you’re talking about synonyms, but you apparently don’t care for one of the two for some reason I’m not understanding.

      Makes fucking sense. We made the mistake of letting our 4 year old watch that show, he 17 now. But damn he would start acting all whiny and shit and became total brat. We quickly cut that show out of his watching habits. Funny me and his mom said his mother was a whore. Because his sister hair and his friends dad have the same hair color. We also joked that Caillou was dying from cancer why his parents and grandparents allowed him to be a little shit.
