If Caillou was so poorly received and reviled as a children’s show, why did it run for as long as it did?
In: Other
Caillou was a very popular series of children’s books in Canada that got adapted into a television series. However, some of the morals of the book didn’t transfer to the television, and adults took major issue with the main character Caillou. He generally set a bad example for behavior for kids at an extremely impressionable age, such as throwing tantrums until he gets what he wants, being mean to his sister and getting praised for it, etc.
It likely took so long to remove from circulation due to it being a widely known brand, as that kind of awareness of a brand means its really easy to sell merch and make money off of the name alone.
