And yes, I’m also shocked and saddened that there is a Caillou fandom site.

Cailou is a little whiny brat and always has been. I hated that show when my son was younger.

We stuck with Blue’s Clues.

That said, my wife and I were convinced that Steve had severe brain damage and was living in his own inner world. When he “went off to college,” he was actually being institutionalized.

You have to entertain yourself somehow with this stuff when you have to sit through it every day.

At least she wasn’t into Barney or Teletubbies.

Blues Clues was good. We banned Barney from the git go. We loved Wow wow Wubsy, Wonderpets and The Backyardigans. I didn’t mind those at all.

Ours were Blues Clues, In the Night Garden (a British show from the people who made Teletubbies, but amazingly not annoying) and classic Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers on YouTube.

I did let her watch Dora despite how awful it was. Because that was some me time. I was a stay at home dad.

Steve had severe brain damage

I read that before! It really puts an interesting spin on the show and it’s fun to think about.

Really? We just came up with that on our own.

That said, he did this a few years ago and I think it’s amazing.

Ah, that’s a funny coincidence. I did a quick search only to make sure I wasn’t hallucinating. But yeah, it turns out that people have all kinds of conspiracies to explain the story behind the show and they’re all dark as heck. Some people think he’s a drug addict and such.

There have already been theories online that Steve is actually in an asylum or has lost his mind in some way

Jeez. We were just saying it as a joke.
Thats QAnon nonsense.
These days at least we have streaming services. If you can get them hooked on the good stuff (eg Bluey) or the tolerable stuff (eg Octonauts) you can (mostly) get away from the worst stuff (Cocomelon and it’s million somehow even more cheaply made derivatives).
