    I don't want to shock or scare anyone, but I think I might be a teensy bit obsessed with Lisa Simpson. :eek: Please send help or better yet send Lisa stuff! :lisa::heart::lisa::heart::lisa::heart::lisa::heart::lisa::heart::lisa:

    Ahhhh all you guys are way too nice to me! :heart::heart::heart: I was so scared that everyone would hate me and think I'm selfish because of my pulling away from DMs thing, but all I got was love and support and it's just making my heart burst! I don't deserve all your kindness! 😭❤️😭
    I Love Lisa
    Hiya everyone. I'm really sorry to be doing this, but they've become really overwhelming for me so I wanted to let you know I'm going to be taking a break from my DMs on here so I've locked them out for now.

    I want to make it super sparkling crystal clear that this isn't because anyone's upset me or I'm trying to avoid anyone or anything like that! Each individual chat is actually really nice and it's lovely that people want to talk to me so nobody's done anything wrong at all it's just the sheer volume of DMs I receive is just way too high for me to cope with right now and it can kinda put me off logging in here knowing that I'll probably get swamped in tons of messages from lots of people... I'm really sorry again if I've upset or hurt anyone doing this (that's the absolute last thing I ever want to do! :cry: ), but I hope you can all understand and respect my decision. Please don't hate me! :heart:
    I Love Lisa

    I think Lisa Simpson is a really great and loveable character! :heart: :aww:

    Ah I'm sorry for not being online much recently. I have been really preoccupied lately, but honestly I feel like I've been kinda drifting from this site and I don't really know why. Maybe I just don't quite fit in here I'm not sure, but I'm worried I'm just gonna end up drifting away completely like I did when I was younger. :ashamed:

    Aww you guys are way too nice to me. :heart:

    I definitely don't intend to leave I've just been kinda feeling worried that I might be losing my connection to this place somehow, but all your nice words have shown me that maybe I've just been a little paranoid maybe.

    It's really nice to know that I have your support whatever might happen in the future too! :aww: I sometimes feels like there's a kinda pressure to log in which can put me off when I'm feeling down or something, but I really do feel like that's all in my head now.

    Caillou (/kɑːjʊ, -juː/ kah-yuu, -⁠yoo; French: [kaju], stylized in lowercase) is an animated educational children's television series that aired on Teletoon (both English and French versions) – with the first episode airing on the former channel on September 15, 1997 – until the fourth season. After that, the fifth season channel was moved to Treehouse TV, and the series finale aired on April 17, 2011. It also aired on PBS and the PBS Kids Channel.

    Based on the books by Hélène Desputeaux,[1][2] it focuses on a four-year-old boy named Caillou who is fascinated by the world around him. The series was produced in Canada by the CINAR Corporation (later Cookie Jar Entertainment), while the fifth and final season was produced in association with the South African studio Clockwork Zoo.[3]

    In 2023, it was announced that the show would be rebooted. It was originally set to premiere on Peacock with 52 eleven-minute episodes some time in 2023, but ultimately began streaming on February 15, 2024, with a batch of seven episodes.[4] Caillou lives with his family (his mother Doris, father Boris, younger sister Rosie, and pet cat Gilbert). He has many adventures with his family and friends, and uses his imagination in every episode.

    During the first season, many of the stories in the animated version began with a grandmother (who is also the show's narrator) introducing the story to her grandchildren, then reading the story from a book. Starting in the second season, the narrator and grandmother is an unseen character.

    In PBS Kids, each episode in season 1 through season 3 has a theme and is divided into several short sections that mix animation, puppet skits, and video of live-action children in real-life situations. In seasons 4 and 5, the episodes are divided into three short sections; the puppet segment was dropped, alongside the "Real Kids" version of the segment. Caillou (voiced first by Bryn McAuley from 1997 to 2000, then Jaclyn Linetsky from 2000 until her death in 2003, and then Annie Bovaird from 2003 to 2010) meaning pebble or stone in French (nicknamed by himself The Prince of Imagination),[5] is the title character of the show. Caillou was first shown in the episode "Caillou Makes Cookies", which aired in 1997.

    Caillou is an imaginative four-year-old[6] boy with a love for forms of transportive machinery such as rocket ships and airplanes. A dreamer, Caillou is inclined to frequent dream sequences in some episodes, visualizing his daydreams and wishes, and many episodes describe his normal daily experiences with his parents, friends, and neighbours. Caillou particularly loves his stuffed dinosaur, Rexy, and teddy bear, Teddy, along with his pet cat Gilbert, all of whom are depicted as puppets in segments featured in the earlier episodes. He is Boris and Doris's son as well as Rosie's older brother. Rosie (voiced by Brigid Tierney, then Jesse Vinet, known in French as Mousseline) – Caillou's lively younger sister and Boris and Dori'sdaughter who is a typical toddler. She is two years old.[6] She always wants to take part in the same activities as Caillou. In later seasons of the series, she becomes more talkative and independent. She wears a blue dress, red socks and blue Mary Jane shoes. Rosie fights with Caillou for some reasons, but they still love each other. She appears to be the only family member with red hair.
    Doris[6]/Mommy (voiced by Jennifer Seguin) – Caillou and Rosie's mother as well as Boris' wife and Grandma and Grandpa's daughter-in-law. She is a busy homemaker most of the time but is seen to work in an office, as well. Caillou occasionally helps his mother with different chores, and she often takes time to involve Caillou and his friends in activities such as crafts and baking. She is predominantly dressed in a red blouse with yellow trim, blue headband, ankle-length blue jeans and blue shoes with green soles.
    Boris[6]/Daddy (voiced by Pat Fry) – Caillou and Rosie's father as well as Doris's husband. He wears a green sweater with a red trim with blue jeans. In the episode "Caillou The Chef" he says he once worked at a restaurant and made pizza.[7] He and Caillou occasionally work on projects around the house together.
    Gilbert – Caillou's pet cat. In the puppet segments, he is shown to be knowledgeable about things which are foreign to Rexy and Teddy.
    Grandma (voiced by Pauline Little) – Caillou and Rosie's paternal grandmother as well as Doris's mother-in-law. Grandma is a very active lady who loves the arts and the outdoors. She passes that love onto Caillou. Grandma often comes up with creative ideas to solve Caillou's problems. She and Caillou paint and go bird-watching together.
    Grandpa (voiced by George Morris) – Caillou and Rosie's paternal[6] grandfather as well as Dori'sfather-in-law. He takes Caillou on adventures, often going on walks and riding the bus throughout the town where they reside. In "Caillou's Hiding Place", he showed Caillou a hidden area inside a tree in the backyard.[8] In the episode "Caillou Goes Camping", he and Caillou camp in the backyard. He is Daddy's father and loves to tell stories about when Calliou's father was a little boy. He wears a blue shirt. Paul Hinkle (also known as "Mr. Hinkle" and French name: Monsieur Lajoie) – Caillou's neighbour, introduced in the 1998 episode "Caillou's Not Afraid Anymore". He has a gold tooth. In the episode "Farmer for the Day".

    Caillou and his friends: (back) Clementine, Sarah – (front) Gilbert, Caillou, Leo, Rosie
    Leo (voiced by Johanne Garneau from 1997 to 2003, Vince Davies in Caillou's Holiday Movie, Jonathan Koensgen from 2006 to 2008 and Graeme Jokic in 2010) – A boy who started out as a bully in the 1999 episode "Caillou at Daycare", but quickly befriended Caillou in the same episode. They have been inseparable since. He is of Jewish faith and celebrates Hanukkah (stated in Caillou's Holiday Movie).
    Clementine (voiced by Brigid Tierney and Sophie Uretsky) – Clementine was the first to befriend Caillou in the 1999 episode "Caillou Goes to Daycare". She can get rather bossy for some reasons, but all in all she is pretty understanding. She is of African-Canadian descent. Caillou has a crush on her, as indicated in "Caillou's Valentines" (season 4, episode 8).
    Sarah (voiced by Amanda Tilson) – Caillou's friend, whom he first met in "Caillou Goes Around the Block". She is of Chinese descent and celebrates Chinese New Year. She has a cousin in an episode where she invites Caillou to celebrate Chinese New Year. In another she invites him to school for "Bring Your Younger Siblings to School Day" because she has no siblings. Sarah has a pet cat named Olly and a dog named Murphy.
    André – A redheaded boy, André is introduced in the episode "Caillou's Big Friend" and usually wears red sandals. According to the song "Days of the Week", released on the Caillou music CD Caillou and Friends, Caillou plays with him every Saturday. André enjoys biking and soccer.
    Julie (voiced by Holly Gauthier-Frankel) – Caillou's and Rosie's teenage babysitter. She has blonde hair in a ponytail, and enjoys playing with Caillou and Rosie.
    Jason and Jeffrey – Identical twin brothers who are of Hispanic descent. They both enjoy eating pizza. Initially, they wore identical clothes. By Season 4, though, Jason began wearing a shirt with inverted colours so it's easier to tell them apart. They are both in Caillou's playschool class. The first episode they appeared in was "New House, New Neighbors".
    Billy (voiced by Michael Caloz in season 1) – Clementine's older brother. He is usually seen playing in a band with his friends or playing sports.
    Ann Martin (also known as "Ms. Martin", she voiced by Ellen David) – Caillou's preschool teacher. She has red hair and wears red overalls with a long-sleeved white shirt. According to the episode "A Surprise for Ms. Martin" her birthday is in June. This was stated in "Caillou Goes to Daycare".
    Jonas (voiced by Brian Wrench) – Boris friend from before he met Doris. He lives on a ranch and has a horse named Lucky. Jonas appears in four episodes and in Caillou's Holiday Movie.
    Emma – A girl in Caillou's playschool class who dislikes loud noises, wearing red.[9] It is stated in an episode that she has Type 1 Diabetes.[10]
    Xavier – A boy in Caillou's playschool class who has brown hair and wears blue overalls. The puppet segments were used only on the PBS broadcasts of Caillou from 2000 to 2003 as continuity to fill time usually taken up by commercial breaks during the original Teletoon broadcasts; later episodes on PBS did not include the puppet segment continuity.

    Gilbert (puppeteered by Bob Stutt) – Caillou's pet cat and he is the leader of the group. He has greyish-blue fur with black stripes and loathes dogs with a passion. He especially dislikes the bulldog in the neighbourhood. In the puppet segments of the show, Gilbert often consists odes.
    Rexy (puppeteered by Pier Parquette and voiced by Rick Jones) – Caillou's bluish toy dinosaur and speaks in a somewhat foreign accent, he is very playful. Rexy has the incapability to give a "good" hug. Rexy is noted for being rather pedantic. He is often teased about his speech impediment, and tends to react violently to any mention of it.
    Teddy (puppeteered by Frank Meschkuleit) – An old teddy bear that once belonged to Caillou's father, and now belongs to Caillou, Teddy is reasonable and nice. He is somewhat pessimistic, but all in all, he just needs a hug.
    Deedee (puppeteered by Wendy Welch) – A brown squirrel, she has a bushy tail, and is often seen playing with Rexy. Deedee first appeared as a baby squirrel when Rexy found on the ground lost from her family. Deedee lives in Caillou's backyard where most of the puppet segments take place. She never appeared in Season 3. Caillou consists of five seasons[11] of 92 half-hour episodes,[12] as well as the 90-minute Christmas film Caillou's Holiday Movie. Caillou books have been published by Chouette Publishing Inc. since 1989.[18]

    The series was originally broadcast in French in Canada, and the episodes were later translated into English. The original books were also in French. Caillou was designed primarily for toddlers. It was created by child developmental psychologists. In 1997, 65 five-minute episodes of Caillou were aired in Canada and in selected markets worldwide, including the US. In 2000 there were 40 30-minute episodes of the show, containing a mixture of the five-minute episodes plus new stories, songs, real kids segment and puppets. This was followed by another 16 30-minute episodes containing all-new stories in 2003. The film Caillou's Holiday Movie was released on October 7, 2003. On April 3, 2006, a new set of 20 episodes finally premiered after a three-year hiatus. Caillou started attending preschool and there were new themes and a new opening. New character redesigns were handled by Travis Cowsill, a storyboard artist on Timon and Pumbaa and Invasion America. The show was renewed for a second and third season in 2003,[19] and later a fourth season. The fifth season was animated by South Africa-based studio Clockwork Zoo.[20]

    On November 14, 2012, the fourth season of the series was pre-sold to PBS Kids in the United States.[21] Caillou initially received generally positive reviews from television critics and parents of young children. The staff of Entertainment Weekly wrote that its protagonist "embellish[es] everything he sees with his rich imagination."[22] The New York Times wrote "Caillou looks at the world through the eyes of its 4-year-old namesake [and] takes life's not-always-so-simple lessons and presents them in a way preschoolers can understand,"[23] while Lynne Heffley of the Los Angeles Times wrote that "each animated episode is an unusually realistic reflection of a preschooler's daily fun, family interaction, challenges, disappointments and misunderstandings as Caillou grows and learns to make sense of his world", also describing it as "a virtual guidebook for parents and caregivers".[24] As the years progressed, however, the show drew criticism for the perceived incorrectness of the lessons gleaned through numerous events, mostly from the first season, as well as some episodes from the second season and third season. In a National Post column, writer Tristin Hopper identified Caillou to be "quite possibly the world's most universally reviled children's program." A common criticism towards the series is that the titular character behaves like a spoiled child and suffers no consequences from his parents for his behavior.[25] Hopper once said: "Unlike most children's programming, Caillou makes almost no attempt to educate its young audience. There are no veiled math problems, spelling lessons or morality tales; it's just calm, non-threatening, bright-coloured people navigating everyday tasks." These criticisms of the show's titular character have been echoed on online platforms.[26] Last Week Tonight host John Oliver referenced Caillou in a comparison of boring things against net neutrality, going on to insult Caillou for its themes.[27]

    As Caillou appeared as a much younger child in the original line of children's books, he originally had no hair.[28] When illustrators found that adding hair made him look unrecognizable, it was decided that Caillou would be bald.[29][30] This decision led to an internet meme asserting that the protagonist has cancer or pediatric alopecia.[31] Caillou first aired on Canada's French-language Télétoon channel on September 15, 1997, and was the first show aired on the English-language Teletoon when it launched on October 17 of that year.[32] The series was moved to Treehouse TV in 2010. Caillou made its US debut on PBS Kids on September 4, 2000, and ran on that network until December 27, 2020. Reruns started airing on PBS Kids Sprout (later known as simply Sprout) on its launch on September 26, 2005. While Sprout rebranded into Universal Kids on September 9, 2017, the show remained on the channel until it was taken off the line-up at the beginning of April 2019.

    On January 5, 2021, PBS Kids announced on Twitter that they would no longer broadcast reruns of Caillou.[33] Deadline Hollywood reported that many parents and viewers celebrated the news of the cancellation, as they have complained that Caillou had taught their kids bad lessons and encouraged them to be bratty and whiny.[34] On August 16, 2021, it was announced that Cartoon Network had acquired the US-broadcast rights to the show after PBS' rights expired, with reruns of the series airing on Cartoonito from September 13, 2021 to May 4, 2022 in its HD remastered form.[35][36] PBS ultimately sold the rights for US$6.4 million.[37] In Canada, Family Jr. continues to broadcast reruns since February 5, 2018. PBS Kids currently retains the physical media and streaming rights for the original series. Comcast/NBCUniversal acquired global streaming rights for the reboot series (via Peacock) as of 2022. In the United States, Caillou videocassettes and DVDs have been released by PBS Distribution (Originally distributed through Warner Home Video until 2004, and then Paramount Home Entertainment from 2006 to 2010, and now self-distributed). From 2003 to 2006, the DVDs with puppets and Jaclyn Linetsky were compilations from 2003 through 2006, and one of them is in memory of Linetsky herself.

    For the franchise's 25th anniversary, a DVD/book combo pack reissue of Caillou's Family Favorites was released on October 14, 2014, by PBS Distribution,[38] while a DVD reissue of Caillou's Holiday Movie was released on November 11, 2014 by NCircle Entertainment.[39]

    In Canada, Sony Wonder originally released Caillou on VHS and DVD, and after the closure of the division by Sony, were moved to Vivendi Entertainment Canada. Since 2012, Caillou DVDs are distributed by Entertainment One and after their purchase of Phase 4 Films in 2015, are released through the KaBoom Entertainment label. In 2003, an album titled Caillou's Favorite Songs was released by Kid Rhino under the Cinar Music imprint. Beginning in late 2016, a new Caillou web series for YouTube premiered on the official Caillou channel and was later released onto Amazon Prime.[41] These shorts are mainly remakes of older episodes and are produced by WildBrain Spark Studios, a subsidiary of WildBrain that produces original content for their WildBrain Spark network. However, the videos were not made available to YouTube users in the United States until 2021.[42]

    In August 2021, it was announced that Cartoon Network licensed the series for broadcast on US television.[43] In September 2021, WildBrain announced the production of five new 45-minute specials based on the franchise for Family Jr.[44] These specials were the first Caillou related media to be produced in CGI animation, and focused on Christmas, Halloween, Family Day, Summer Vacation and National Anti-Bullying Day. The specials were produced by WildBrain Studios, with animation provided by IoM Media Ventures.[45]

    In June 2022, WildBrain announced they teamed with Comcast's streaming platform, Peacock, to produce a new series of the show, consisting of 52 11-minute episodes to go along with those specials.[46] It was set to premiere in 2023, with IoM also providing animation production as the specials are. Despite the specials being released on Peacock, it would later be confirmed to stream on February 15, 2024.[47]

    The first special: Rosie the Giant, which focuses on the effects of bullying, simultaneously premiered in Canada and the United States on Family Jr. and Peacock respectively on July 10, 2022.[48]

    The second special: Adventures with Grandma and Grandpa, which focuses on Caillou visiting his grandparents for a sleepover at their beach house, premiered on Peacock on August 25, 2022.[49]

    The third special: The Bravest Wolf Boy, which focuses on Halloween, premiered on Peacock on October 15, 2022.

    The fourth special: The Silver Knight, which focuses on imaginative play, premiered on Peacock on November 13, 2022.

    The fifth special, Caillou's Perfect Christmas, which focuses on Christmas, premiered on Peacock on December 2, 2022.

    Hello! we havent talked in quite a bit, so hi! wanted to ask where your pfp was from. it's so wonderfully silly
    Irvine
    Just curious - are there any Lisa-centric episodes you dislike?
    I Love Lisa
    I Love Lisa
    This is gonna make me sound like a mindless fangirl I know, but I'm trying to think and honestly I can't think of any. Like Lisa Goes Gaga is the only one I'd actually say is "bad", but even then I'm happy to watch it when it comes on because there's still a lot of Lisa stuff in it I enjoy. :lisa:

    It's just kinda impossible for me to actually dislike an episode with lots of screentime for my favourite character I guess! :D

    Was watching a quiz show and a question came up which was "what are the names of Homer Simpson's wife and children?" and the guy got it wrong because he couldn't think of Lisa. Our education system is crumbling! :cry:
