PBS Kids has pulled the plug on 'Caillou,' much to the delight of parents everywhere

One of @wiley207's tweets was actually included in that article!

See, I didn’t even think Cailou was still actually playing on PBS! I always thought that series was off the network a long time ago.

I thought the show has been canceled since 2010 and it was just re-runs at this point.

Honestly, given how much flack and grief it's gotten from parents (as the article clearly illustrates), I'm surprised it's still been going after all these years!

On the other hand, AOK has provided us with some hilarious "Caillou the Grown-up" videos because of it!

Caillou did end in 2010, but re-runs continued until late December of 2020.

Dang, Calliou was still on the air? That goes back as far as DragonTales.

Right? That’s what I was thinking!

Actually, it goes back a few years further.
But yeah, I won’t miss it either.
