Obsessed with Sprout and Caillou
We are Obsessed with Sprout and Caillou!!
Well, Its official my 3yo Kircher is obsessed with Sprout and Caillou for a while now! I had actually never heard of PBS Sprout Television until we moved to Mississippi and got DirectTV. If you have not yet had the pleasure of watching Sprout, then it may not be all that bad of a thing. They show shows that are mostly run on PBS Kids and then a few other shows. Shows it includes are Sesame Street, Fireman Sam, and the big one for us, Thomas & Caillou. I honestly have no problem with these shows in general. Most of them are educational and clean, but dude, every now and then a little NickJr, MMCH or actual MOVIE verses the constant default of Sprout and Caillou!
No surprise to most that Kircher of course loves Thomas but he now apparently can not make it through the day without an episode of Caillou. Which brings me to my main critique. The show is cute in general but it really freaks me out that Caillou is so bald. I mean he is supposed to be four, his parents have all kinds of a mop on their head and his sister Rosie has a ton of hair too! What gives?! The shows are good at dealing with issues toddlers would usually experience like playing nice with friends, nightmares, using your manners etc. However I’m thinking at some point they may have to address the fact that no matter how old the main kid gets, he can’t grow hair!
I didn’t really think this detail was an issue for Kircher because in his eyes Sprout and Calliou can usually do no wrong, but a couple of weeks ago he actually asked me why Calliou had no hair! I dyed laughing and then he followed it up with “Calliou’s head is all nice and shiny!” Hilarious! Now I’m just worried if our obsession with Sprout and Caillou continues he’ll be asking to shave his head! 
Let’s hope not!
Let’s hope not!
Kirch always wants to “play Calliou” and frequently wants to act out the episodes. I mean I know when I was his age I was obsessed with movies, “Annie” and I think “Mary Poppins.” Rachel (my sister) and I acted them out all the time but at least they had real humans in those shows!! And Hair!!! I’m just ready for the phase of only being able to watch a 20 minute show to pass! There are a few movies he’ll watch but nothing compares to Sprout and Caillou!!
Sadly last year they almost took Sprout out of our TV package and I called to complain… They allowed me to keep it for another year since it was in our original agreement. However I renegotiation is coming up and they will start charging us an extra $40 a month for the upgrade to the package with Sprout! Unfortunately this is not something I’m willing to pay since none of the other channels they offer on the upgrade are really of interest to our family!
It will be a hard day for Mr. Kircher Miller when Sprout leaves our home! Fortunately Thomas and Caillou are on our regular PBS station so I’m hoping maybe he won’t notice??? Pretty much think this is wishful thinking! EEEk!!!
