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
It’s only really reviled by adults, who find the content derivative of programing they watched as kids (Charlie Brown), and not nearly as outwardly entertaining as shows like Spongebob, which is less educational but more colorful and wacky.
As for the children, they liked it okay, but the characters didn’t have the same kind of appeal as the louder and more boisterous characters, like Elmo from Sesame Street. The hot toys were never “Hug Me Caillou”.
