‘Caillou’ Is Canceled, Here’s Where You Can Still Watch The Kids show

After spending more than two decades on television, the PBS cartoon “Caillou” has been canceled.

The show followed the life of a 4-year-old Canadian boy, who lived on the fictional Pine Street, as he explored nature, played with imaginary friends, and learned new things.

Although many parents are glad to see “Caillou” go after claiming the cartoon taught their kids to be “whiny” and “bratty,” others are still willing to allow their children to watch the show.

Luckily, fans of the series can still watch “Caillou” despite its cancellation. The show is available on several streaming services. Amazon Prime customers can stream the show, which is included in their Amazon Prime Video subscription.

Those without subscriptions can buy “Caillou” episodes from YouTube, Google Play Movies & TV, Tunes, iTunes, and Vudu for $1.99. Customers also have the opportunity to buy full seasons, but prices vary on the streaming services.

“Caillou” premiered in 1997 and aired its last episode in 2013. From there, it went into syndication on PBS despite the growing dislike among parents.

Kate McKenzie, a mom from Michigan, created a petition on Change.org to have the show removed from television completely seven years ago. At the time she claimed the show had a negative effect on children’s behavior.

“Caillou is a whiny, bratty child, and his show holds no educational value. Children who watch this program tend to copy Caillou’s behavior. Whining, demanding, throwing himself on the floor kicking and screaming,” she wrote at the time.

“How is this teaching our children good values and communication skills?”

PBS announced the cancellation of “Caillou” Tuesday on Twitter. “We’re saying farewell to @cailloudhx, but remember, when we say goodbye to something… It just means we get to say hello to something new!” the tweet read.

The network also shared tips to assist parents in helping their children cope with the ending of the long-running cartoon.
