The negative reviews here are surprisingly harsh and undeserved. Do they really think that this one television show is causing their child to be whiny, spoiled brats? Please.
Caillou is a sweet show that presents the world from a 4-year old's perspective. It's completely harmless and the vivid colors, loving family, and grandmotherly narration are far superior to much of what's out there now (Dirt Girl World? Monkey See Monkey Do? Rubberdubbers?) The sensitive portrayal of different ethnic groups are an additional plus.
For us, nothing surpasses Sesame Street for sheer quality. Calliou isn't in that league, but it's not as bad as some here have suggested.
