    Ok so 2021, despite everything working against it, is actually pulling its weight after only the fifth day. PBS announced earlier today that they were officially cancelling long-running animated series “Caillou.” There was much celebration amongst parents, older siblings, and babysitters.

    …It just means we get to say hello to something new!

    Running since 1997 on PBS and their affiliates, “Caillou” is one of those animated shows you remember from a fever dream.

    The theme song alone is the stuff of flashback nightmares for anyone with a younger sibling, or who had the unfortunate role of babysitter.

    Sure, some of the characters and storylines are adorable enough….but…yeah.

    So long, Caillou and family. It’s….been a ride.

    Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
