Caillou

Animated hairless preschooler

Caillou is a Canadian animated children's television series featuring a bald four-year-old boy of the same name.

The show ran from 1997 to 2010 and became notorious among parents for its protagonist's whiny behavior and frequent tantrums, which many felt their children imitated: I can't watch another episode of Caillou.
