PBS Kids has said goodbye to the Caillou TV show after airing the animated pre-school series for more than 20 years. The show stopped airing on PBS Kids on December 27th. While many online are cheering that the educational series has been cancelled, they're actually a bit late to the party.

This looks okay, though I'm not sure if it's going to be as good as it truly should be with this concept.
