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.

    I mean, it says that he acted like prick but always learned his lesson in the end, what’s the issue?

      Toddler brains are usually not developed enough to go, “oh! Okay! I get it now!” from a TV show.

      Because a lot of kids wouldn’t watch the whole episode and think the first part is how they’re supposed to behave… Kids don’t have a very long attention span and caillous visuals were kinda odd. I remember feeling as a kid “These edges of the screen really take me out of the immersion”, or at least the kid-equivalent of that feeling.
