Based on the series of books published in 1989, “Caillou” follows the adventures of a resourceful four-year-old who enlivens his normal daily experiences with dreams of planes, missiles, and more
The series premiered in 1997 and produced five seasons of episodes between then and 2010 and continued to be re-aired on various children’s networks, including PBS Kids in the US.
Although “Caillou” has aired for over two decades and apparently attracts a devoted child audience, it has long been despised by parents and others who celebrated the news of the show’s cancellation on PBS Kids
