The dark side of Caillou? The Light side of Caillou?

Before we begin this review, I must say... what in the world has happened to children's television nowadays? Especially for the younger ones, the toddlers who are just starting out in the world and are still quite unaware of their surroundings outside the home. Because of this, I feel I must review and address what is known as one of the most controversial children's shows in both America and Canada... Caillou. I also must say, I used to enjoy this show as a younger kid, but looking back, the reaction I have now is the complete opposite to my reaction as a young child. Nowadays, I absolutely despise the show and cannot stand it at all! The main reason is because of the title character himself. Caillou, as the show is advertised, is a typical unknowing four year old. However, there is a darker side to this young child.... he is a bit.... annoying. He sets a negative example for the children who watch his show, by seemingly showing the way to get whatever you want is to just throw a fit until your parents give in and do it. That is not how it works in the real world, trust me. However, there are some other positive lessons the show teaches life lessons such as sharing and frienship, plus the power of (insert spongebob reference here) imaginaaaaation, and it can be argued that the good lessons outweigh the bad hidden messages. However, if I were to create a kids' show for young toddlers and preschoolers, I would not put in the negative lesson Caillou taught children before it got cancelled. Once again, I apologize to those young fans of the show, especially the five year old and the eight year old, well formerly eight year old, he's nine now, for slamming this down, but I felt I must express my thoughts and opinions on this childrens' show in a short review, and in my opinion, I hope this show fades into oblivion and obscurity someday.
